... into the DVD market, and I?m always pleased to see big companies with low prices. From my experience a name is not usually a guarantee of quality, but you can usually rely on long-term technical support and replacement products, an assurance that shopping trolley players cannot always give. Still, it?s when you hit the play button that all this bargain jousting really matters, and I would say the XD-DV480 proves it can compete on screen as well. With its strong audio background, it?s no real surprise to me that A...more

Call it a bargain, budget, low-end, entry level- sub £200. Let me tell you, DVD players are opening doors of home cinema to an ever-increasing audience. A friend of mine let me borrow this Aiwa XD-DV480 and I can say it nudges into all of the above categories and begs a mention in the all-important ?value for money? listings too. I think the price tag inevitably means a few restrictions that the big boys treat with contempt, but this Aiwa?s simplicity factor is ideally suited to the market.

When I started to have some problems with my previously reliable Ariston 2000 DVD player, I returned to the same retailer and asked them to recommend a player which was a little bit more "Future Proof" and within my budget of £200.00. Almost without hesitation the salesman recommended the DV480 to me. At first glance, I thought that the player looked a little odd (maybe because it was gold/silver and my previous player had been black), so I suggested maybe a Pioneer player would be better for me. However, he was quite convinced about the qualities of the AIWA player, so, being a self-confessed novice when it comes to HI-FI's etc. I took his advice. ... Read the complete review

I've had this DVD player for about a month now and have tried many different formats of disc's, they are: -DVD- this player plays these very well, the picture and sound quality is excellent. DVD's usually have 5.1ch sound(Dolby Digital And/Or DTS) which is used for home theatre systems. -VCD(Video CD) (version 1.1)- these were made before DVD, they are written on a normal CD and are operated in the same way as CD's (they can be written at home using a CD-RW drive and a normal CD-R disc), they are not as high resolution as DVD and only have stereo sound. -VCD(Video CD) (version 2.0)- these are the ...
