Mico DVD A980

Now, the thing about the Mico A980 is that you won't get one any more. I used to work for a firm who sold these excellent players, and will say 100% that the Mico A980 cannot be purchased any more. However, one can purchase the UPGRADED Mico A980-S player from all the outlets which originally sold the A980. It will chances are be the same price, and is still an excellent first player and as ideal entry-level player for any DVD enthusiast. I've seen the insides of the machine and I know it uses the excellent "C-cube" decoder chipset, which happily plays pretty much any disc from anywhere. After much experiment, the player only refused to play one ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased the MICO A980 having been recommended by DVD World (its best buy!). On first use I was impressed by how easy it seemed to operate, however, I soon became confused as to some of the options available from the remote control. The Enter button is very prominent in the middle of the remote but for sone reason when playing DVD's I have to use the select button?????? A multi region hack is available (i have recently tested it with a DVD bought from the US) which allows you to select both mutliregion 13 and individual regions as necessary. Good connections on the back with both cable and optical connections available. However, for some ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these through www.unbeatable.co.uk a month ago and am delighted with the performance and range of features it offers. Being a first machine for me I did a lot of research on the web for reviews, features and price comparisons before buying. I wanted a machine that was multi region, able to play mp3 and vcd formats. This narrowed my choice away from the mainstream big name players to a number of Chinese made machines. The Mico consistently got excelant reviews from magazines and also users. Mico are a Chinese company who only produce the A980 and a range of DVDs for own branding for other companies and the likes of Dixons etc. ...  Read the complete review

This Multi Region DVD player has top of the range features at a bottom of the range price. Plays any region DVD's without problems - useful for the bargains on the internet, has dolby 5.1 digital decoder built in and to get the best out of the sound it even has optical digital out [as well as the regular co-ax and S-Video]. If you have any CD-R movies they will play too - as will MP3 encoded music CD's. I have used this player for nearly six months without a problem and 2 of my friends have since bought them on my recommendation. Great all round quality. ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Mico DVD player about 2 yrs ago from an independent retailer for £230.00. I have always been reluctant to buy obscure Japanese brands as they tend to fall apart. When buying this model the guy in the shop recommended it. At first I didn't like it as it was a lot larger then some models, I later on found out this is because it has dolby 5.1 digital decoder built in and to get the best out of the sound it even has optical digital out (as well as the regular co-ax and S-Video). I was hoping to get it chipped to play multi regions but the shop owner told me there was no need as it was already a Multi region player. This player not only ...  Read the complete review
