Advantages: Plays everything

Disadvantages: Slow reactions

As a student I spend the majority of my time watching daytime TV and sleeping, but on the odd occasion that I want to watch a DVD I have a handy little one perched under my TV. I started out uni life with a small Ultrabrand Asda £20 thing, but halfway through it's third year of life it did something funny and wouldn't display properly. My dad took me to Curry's and we found the Philips DVD players on offer for £30 in a great stack next to a rather intimidating 32" widescreen TV.

The thing itself is very slimline, hardly taller than the dvd drawer. Not many buttons and neat little screen that handily tells you the function you've asked it to perform. Overall it's very basic, and the codes to make it multiregion are easily found after a google search for the product code.

It does take a little while to react sometimes to the button you press on the remote, but it does it. Also, the remote has about 50 buttons that you don't use or even know what they're for. It would be useful to have an eject button on the remote, but for £30 I can reach across the room and do it manually. #

I've never had a problem trying to play any type of disc, DVDR's DVDRW's as well as normal shop bought DVDs. Written CD's and bought CD's also work perfectly - as do region 1 DVD's thanks to the multiregion code.

Overall this a good piece of kit that is well worth the £30 paid.
