CVD? $? over 1 year 6 of 10 DVD-MP3 DivX XviD Comments: Sound is good, Only with DVD+R and DVD+RW the movies start stucking around half the movie. My advise is not to use +R or +RW media with this device (I tried numerous brands of DVD's)

I had a cheap Bluesky DVD player before with better MP3 on screen menu and played all my svcd perfectly but with this piece I have problems with some home made svcds.

Have got Fuji CD-r to work fine and also a Bulpaq Genertion 4 DVD+R playing backed-up copy of High Fidelity. Sound quality is superb at this price level and the picture is as good as many £1000 players. Most VCD's play OK, only one was problematic, a far-east import.

On a sound quality level, the system sounds a bit tinny and lifeless. Have now swapped the unit for a JVC THV70 which is much better on all accounts.

Not so many Audio and Video Outs.

CVD? $650 N/A 8 of 10 MP3 long filename MP3 ID3 TAG Comments: Got mine and tested over for a weekend - I got problems with PRINCO DVD-RW's it seems to me that they in itself are marginal as they are readable only on a Pioneer A03/04 and no more pc dvd-roms OTOH Verbatims (and I think all other major label DVD-RW's) do really great. I think the reading mechanism inherits much from the FX21 and FX41 series. The amplifier is improved compared to 500 series The design is eyedrawing. Compared to DAV500 it is 1/2 weight and 3/4 size. MP3 - browser is clumsy and not easily found. Too little info is output to TV - I would prefer to see what radio station I am on etc. - what other reason do I have to leave the TV on all the time? Only the DVD/CD info could bve outputed to TV. For a one piece really small "junk" it performs OK
