Advantages: HDMI Out, DIVX support, mp3 support Disadvantages: Too many buttons on the remote! Slow eject button response.
, etc, will get you a picture and audio through your television, but for those with a surround sound setup, you may need to tell the DVD player what sort of signal to send down the fibre optic or digital output, and what sort of picture to display, be it widescreen or 4:3, and so on.
I have played lots of DVDs, and some CDs on this player, and although a bit slow to detect the disk, it works well every time - even when the disks have given me problems on other machines.
The only faults I can find with this DVD Player lie with it being slow to respond to the eject button on the front panel - it is almost as if it is getting lost in some software loop trying to work out if you really want the tray to be opened... Yes... That is why I pressed the eject button!
The remote control seems to be a fairly standard design from Cambridge Audio ...
Advantages: More fun than your average workout DVD Disadvantages: Not that strenuous, some bits completely useless if you dont have a pole
The Stripper - Hot Ferrari
So even if the DVD is a bit rubbish, you still get a decent CD with some sexy tracks on, for you to make your own strip tease up to.
I did enjoy the DVD somewhat, but sadly, I wouldn't really recommend it. If you're really really open minded and still want to give it a go, I'd wait a month or so until its on sale for £3.99 in the bargain bin of every music shop.
And if you really want to Get Yourself Fit To Strip -
Get yourself to a fitness class
Get yourself proper pole dancing lessons and
Get yourself another workout DVD. ...
Advantages: Great picture and sound quality, Good build quality, Champagne gold finish looks nice Disadvantages: MP3 feature not as good as it should be, Not cheap
Background Information
I had been looking for a DVD player for quite a while, but I wanted the full DVD experience. Not just the great picture quality but the full Dolby 5.1 surround sound. I had also decided to replace my HI-FI system, I did not have the space for both so a Home Theatre System was the answer.
Buying a home theatre system
I started by looking in the major electrical stores, where I found some nice Sony and Panasonic systems. These systems sounded ok and the picture quality was good, but the small speakers struggled sometimes and the playback of CD's did not sound very good at all. I was going to need a Home Theatre System with a bit more power so I decided to spend a little more cash, after all a good HI-FI system would cost around £800.
Next stop was a specialist Home Entertainment shop, the trouble ...
