That is the oddest looking dvd player I have ever seen! :o I`m not sure that I would appreciate the top loading facility! But thanks for the tip, I am sure many will appreciate this. With a 3 year warranty it sounds like a bargin. :)

Bear in mind that it`s described as a "mini" DVD player so I would say it was designed to be portable so you can easily move it between rooms/houses...

:)

i have one off these players and have found it to be outstanding as i have yet to find a disc that it wont play well worth the money
and if you forget the parental code the override code is 3308
:)

Sounds quite good (but I agree - it does look odd).
Can anyone confirm that it`s multiregion as well?

Have been following this player since July. Havent seen anyone who has yet been able to make it region-free. . . . . .

I bought one last time they came around and it had difficulties syncing lips with video on most MP4/DivX.
When I took it back for I refund, I was informed that their policy was to send it back to get it checked and that THEY would be the ones to decide whether it was of merchantable quality!
Eventually, I did get a refund (by cheque).
The thing is, I don`t know whether this was a faulty unit or whether the particular files that I had happened to be encoded in a way that it had problems with.
Watch these guys.
