    Topclass BluRay player I bought this player on sale and did not expect much but I am extremely pleased with its performance now.It looks much better than on photo with glass from and brushed metal top great design job from Philips!It's my first BD player so as you can imaging the difference between this and DVD is huge. Even when it plays old DVDs it upscales them to Full HD format so they look much better. And when it comes to BluRay it's simply amazing. I could not wait to get some BDs to try it and it was well worth it. 300 were nearly better than cinema version and Sucker Punch too. Great colours HD sound everything was delivered in style.I am yet to try other features like network play or iPlayer as there are tons of them but I am very happy with it's main function and everything else will be a bonus when if I need it.Would highly recommend this player to anyone.
    Blu Ray player This smart Blu Ray player arrived swiftly and well packaged.It has all the gadgetry to impress our son.Neat blue light.Not tried all the features yet but he likes it.
    Nice Build Quality Aesthetically pleasing lovely Blu Ray picture and Great CD Audio For a few quid extra this machine seems to have all the bells and whistles. Is Wi Fi ready for the ability I believe to watch TV/Films on BBCiplayer or whatever and loads of other applications incl. BD Live have yet to try this and have ordered the Wi Fi Dongle. There's 1GB of internal memory built in as opposed to adding this yourself on a USB stick For BD LiveThe machine looks more classy than the 3000 or 5000 series is slightly larger more metallic in build and has a swish aluminium mirrored style front on it with a centred drive that I prefer as side ones can catch the side of my AV Unit.A Blu Beam projects downward on top of my AV Receiver when it's in operation another nice touch. It's 3D Blu Ray spec'd.

    What I expected which was exactly what I wanted Solid construction exactly as described worked first time. Fitting drive is straightforward provided you have precision screwdrivers. Note if the faceplate of the drive you want to fit is contoured in any way and not entirely flat/rectangular for example see HP ProBook 4320s optical drive you must be prepared to cut down either the drive's faceplate or the enclosure's aluminium outer case and plastic end frame. This is fairly clear from the image shown but more so if you look at the additional product images & manual on the STARTECH.COM UK web page UK web page [].

    Great product Product does what it says. No problems to set up just plug in and go! Bought this to use with my Netbook.
    DVD drive
    Amazing value I don't need to write CD/DVDs because I already have another machine that can write them but I did need a DVD ROM for my netbook. This is perfect. Very slim with cord holder inset USB powered and works straight out of the box. Recommended.
    Great DVD Player. It's a fantastic little DVD/CD player. I bought it for my Sony Netbook running windows 7 starter and it worked perfectly. To have it work on Windows 7 Starter you need to download some thirdparty software but it works great and will play any DVD or CD exactly what you need. Only complaint is a small one that if it is moved while playing the microUSB plugging into the DVD/CD player might come out and the DVD/CD will stop playing.
    Just what I needed This good looking drive has all the features I needed can burn CDs watch DVDs and even has a stop function which is helpful. Everything works well and was easily put together literally just out of the box.If you are looking for something simple and not too fussy this does the job.
    Nice little drive for the price not really Macfriendly I bought this because I was looking for a cheap additional drive to use with my Mac for watching films etc on DVD. For the money it's an excellent little drive definitely cheap and a bit plasticky but it works and without promising to it sort of works on a Mac. However with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Apple DVD Player 5.4 it can't really be described as Macfriendly the DVD Player app crashes when this drive is used and the disks do not eject properly but they can be easily and safely removed once you've got the knack. On the other hand DVDs load fine and play perfectly with the free VNC app after you've disabled the automatic startup of DVD Player when a DVD is inserted and I'm very happy to have a second drive I can use to watch films on my Mac at this excellent price.
    A good purchase Very light and works fine. Can be a bit loud at times and the usb supplied is quite small but all in all it's a good purchase.
    External DVD Drive ProsThis DVD is fantastic does the jobConsYou have to leave it on a flat surfaceTakes longer to install software than standard internal DVD Drives.
    Does what it say on the tin This arrived very quickly and worked immediatley with Windows 7 with no problems.It does come with a USB lead IF you could really call it a lead. It's about 23 inches long.seriously.The unit cannot even reach the top of the CPU from the USB connector on the from of my tower and it's not that big.This didn't really bother me as I have loads of lead lying around my place but if you didn't you would be stuffed. you might even have to hold the unit in mid air lol I'm laughing but you really might have to if you don't have enough books or boxes to balance it on!All in all though I would recommend this item as it's slim & works.
    No problems so far! Does what it says haven't had a single problem connecting and playing DVDs which is more than most DVD players can guarantee!.

    Very Impressive This is my first external DVD drive
    nero difficult to install I love the portability of this product i've used it to watch dvd movies with my samsung n20 netboook excellent. The only problem so farI got annoyed with the cd rom Nero that came with the package several attempts to install and it took ages only to find out that it wouldn't download so now I cant burn discs what a shame if this matter is not rectified.
    Great little piece of kit Really pleased with my new DVD drive my Macbook's internal drive had died a few months ago and I was beginning to get very frustrated with not being able to install software from CDs or play DVDs etc. However that has all changed now my Samsung has arrived. Yes it uses two USB slots but this isn't a problem if you're not using anything else at the same time. It's also nice that now when I want to play a DVD my Macbook doesn't sound like it's about to take off. Very reasonable price excellent buy.
    Excellent excellent product well worth the money. Its seamless when it comes to connectivity with devices. It worked fined with linux mac and windows.
    A solid option for an Apple Mac I bought this to replace the 'popped' drive in my Apple Imac. I looked at the options from Apple expensive repairs or their own very expensive external drive and decided to go with the Samsung drive instead. After receiving it I plugged it into a USB port and off it went with no software downloads needed or any setting up easy.It's a very cleanly designed unit comes in Appley white is USB powered so no ugly power cables/tranformers and fits very neatly on the aluminium foot of the Imac. It's also a bit quieter than the original inbuilt drive which is a bonus.All in all I'm very happy with it and at £25 I can't find anything to fault.
    So far excellent! I have used this drive for backing up several full DVD's and it has been perfectly behaved and as fast as our external powered Samsung drive. It is so convenient to use with our Samsung notebooks without long trailing cables! Would recommend highly.
    Does a perfect job Good delivery good product easy to use & nice looking. I tried it on several computer PCs and it worked perfectly on each of them.
    NIFTY LITTLE NUMBER I bought this as the internal disc drive in my old Acer which I was going to pass on to my stepson had stopped working. It is small enough to fit into one of the small pockets in the laptop bag and worked simply on a plug and play basis.
    works a dream using with Mac OSX. a far more reliable drive than my mac mini drive. love mac software but i think their cd drives could do a lot better. for £25 this is a perfect complement to your apple set up.
    Samsung External USB 2 Slimline Writer This is a beauty for loading DVDbased programmes onto my Samsung Netbook. Colour match too.

    Great little DVD player Elegant especially when wall mounted next to Flat Screen TV You get a simple DVD player that is small thin lightweight. I chose white so that it blends into my white wall.I mounted it below and to side of my flat screen tv so there is very little cabling the power cable runs with the TV cable and I use an HDMI cable to connect it to my TV there is also a SCART cable option on it.You slip in a DVD and select the relevant HDMI input on the TV. Then I hit the play button on the player.Thereafter control is via its remote control. The remote looks a bit cheap in that the buttons are small knobbly things but it has more functions than I would ever need. Hit the eject button on the player and the DVD pops smoothly out.Its ticks all the boxes as a DVD player and the price is a fraction of something that would sit on a table and take up space with cables and need dusting.Would love it to play BluRay and link to my wifi but that will be next years model.
    Stylish..but that's where the positives end! This went straight back to the seller for a refund. It may have been poor quality control but everything about this DVD player smacked of poor quality except maybe the appearance! It flatly refused to play prerecorded DVD after DVD I didn't even try DVDRs or the like. When it eventually played something it was so noisy in operation that it drowned the sound of the DVD. The remote control looks like something from the 1980s put your £60.00 towards something better there's plenty of better options out there.

    failed product from first receiving the freeview hd tuner it had two faults it shut down on tuner mode after 10 mins and the hd tuner picture strobes on background scenes with detail in it .it is still awaiting parts for repair.
    LG HR600 The Player arrived as advised in good order my partner found it easy to set up however do have a few issues with the remote control but over all picture quality is good it records well and it does what is says on the box. Very please with the product.
    LG HR600 Before purchasing this item I had read mixed reviews concerning the LG HR600. However having searched an array of products and not swayed by some of its reviewers more negative remarks I opted for this particular box. I can only say that I am thoroughly pleased with the LG player. It does seem to meet with all it claims to provide in terms of quality and quantity. Obviously only time will tell as to how long that quality will last. But all in all it gives all possible means of viewing a vast collection of content and in many different methods. I found its capability to share content from my pc through wireless connection an absolute boon. I feel that the Netcast facility could be a bit more extended to more viewing options. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
    Bluray player Fast efficient service and delivery.Excellent DVD recorder with all mod cons.
    Pretty good. While there aren't too many reviews on this product on Amazon or elsewhere I would tend to agree with most of the points raised by other reviewers here. The menus are fairly easy to use but set out in a mildly annoying way. Setting a programme to record is very simple though just by pressing the Guide button on the remote control and selecting what you want to record from the EPG. I have recorded quite a few programmes now and have not had any issues with it not stopping recording at the end a problem mentioned by others. All of shows I set recorded correctly even when one programme I had set to record was delayed by an overrun of a live football match beforehand the EPG automatically detected this and the show recorded from start to finish.The picture quality on the Freeview HD channels is better than SD TV but the quality does seem to fluctuate sometimes compared to
    Gutted High expectaions of the Christmas present from my wife turned to dissapointment for us all.Set machine up for big music show of DVD's Christmas day only for the first Disk to FREEZE at the end of the first chapter.To date 7th March 2012 this happens with three DVD's not all music.I called LG Support on 9th Jan 2012 and was told an update would be issued in about two months time.Two months later nothing so called LG Support again and was told there is NO UPDATE and there is NOTHING they could do.Oh and to rub salt in the wound I used the EPG recording facility only to see the machine stop recording half way through the transmission.
    LG HR600 3D Bluray Player with Freeview HD I have had the LG HR600 for a few months now and have found it perfect for what we required. We had bought a 37 LG TV with no HD tuner while we still had an older DVD hard disc recorder so it made sense to upgrade to a HD recorder so we could benefit from HD broadcasts. It gives you a good Bluray player with excellent picture quality and the ability to connect to and watch the BBC IPlayer should you have forgotten to record something. There is no 4OD or 5 on demand but that for us was no big deal. The ability to record programs straight from the TV Guide with the press of a button on the remote is simplicity welcomed after years of fiddling with other methods. So if you have an older TV with HD quality but no HD tuner and want a good Bluray player with a hard drive recorder I would quite happily recommend this unassumming box.
    Love it!!!! Short and sweet. I think this is brilliant. Had a really cheap one before so anything would have been better but this is really good quality.
    LG 600HR 3D Bluray player
    Good and bad Great BluRay player with easy to use menu. But with no connection to an external input like Sky the HDD can only be used from the internal tuners which if you live in a house like mine that has no external terrestrial ariel the HDD becomes redundant.

    Works a dream I bought this multiregion dvd for my son as alot of what he watches you can only buy on region 1 at the moment. Anyway i have to say this is the easiest dvd player i have ever come across. No need to switch anything from region 1 to region 2 the machine automatically does it all for you. You really do just turn it on insert the dvd from regiopn 1 or 2and it plays like a dream.
    Great DVD player At the price I was a little hesitant that it would deliver on all of the promises but it has. I have played multiple regional formatted DVD and they all work without any issues. The remote needs a clear path to the player but it rarely is ever an issue.
    Great This is a fantastic item. I have just bought one last month and bought another for the bedroom.
    Dissapointing cheap tat! Ordered this item after our LG upscaling dvd player decided to stop working. cost about the same as this and was excellentI bought this as it had on paper comparable features as our previous player and the price seemed good.The description says 1080p and upscaling but I could see no evidence of this. It plays dvd's to an average quality and as for watching anything via the USB don't bother. The video off a stick is all pixelated and very low quality. Infact its so bad that I've thrown it in the bin and connected my laptop to the TV instead.I can't recommend this at all it's just cheap rubbish. If you want any image quality spend a bit more and get a better brand.
    Plays every DVD Not much more to say about this but that it does what it is supposed to. With no frills or bells or whisles. For the price it is a good DVD player that plays all regions of DVD.
    Cheap and nasty Technically it seemed to tick all the right boxes. But on first appearances I could tell it was a very cheaply made product. Upon switching on there was a bang and flash. One fried dvd! Returning was also not straight forward. Even though the website clearly states that it is a free returns policy I needed to keep on at them to return postage.
    I wish I'd bought a brand I knew Had this a few months and now it has stopped playing region 1 DVDs. It will play region 2s but I bought it to play my american discs. It was never very good from the start to be honest but as time went on and not hevely used too it became less and less able to play my region 1 discs. A friend thinks it could be a soft wear problems as well as being poor quality. Do not buy this as it is a waste of time and money.
    GUYVERTASTIC!!! I've been a huge Guyverfan since the 12part Manga and the OVAGuyver The Bioboosted Armor is a must for any Anime fan. The series is a combination of scifi/fantasy/action with a huge amount of limbs and guts flying around.A faithful readaptation of the original Manga with a great indepth storyJust kinda sad ADV didn't progress with a 2nd season.
    Well This machine was great. I was really happy about being able to watch my region 1 DVDs and region 2 DVDs. However about two months after purchasing it I was watching a region 2 DVD and the machine blew up. Not suggested if you like your possessions to actually work.
    Very neat hdmi dvd player Nice easy to use dvd player with hdmi output. It also features usb and sd card input and plays every file type I've thrown at it. Very good picture and upscaled dvds are pleasing to the eye.

    Panasonic Recorder I do not give this recorder a very good rating because primarily it failed to record the titles from the hard disk onto dvds. While this was obviously a faulty machine Panasonic does not rank very highly in my estimation to pass such a machine for sale. I returned the machine paying £17 postage since it was not bought directly from Amazon. I also found that some of the features were not satisfactory. First DVD +RW disks had to be reformatted while not a great inconvenience for blank disks it meant that it would not play prerecorded DVD +RW disks. Second it displayed the programs on the TV guide on only half the screen the other half being given to help. Third one could not watch one program while recording another. Finally I found 100 pages of a detailed manual rather daunting.
    DVD Recorder My new Panasonic Dvd recorder with 250GB memory is easy to set up and can be used to record the whole series of a program. this saves me time and having to remember to program my favourates.
    Much overated I have two HDD machines an older much cheaper Sony RDR HXD870 and this Panasonic. The Sony beats this thing hands down. It is really slow to boot up the Resume function only remembers where you were until you turn it off whereas the Sony will pick up where you left off the next day. If you switch channels on the older machine it always brings up a screen display showing which channel you are on. This Panasonic only does it sometimes which is really odd. I also find the Function Menu on this one over complicated as is the instruction book which is the size of a short novel. The clock gets confused sometimes aswell and I have to reset it. It's OK otherwise I just wouldn't buy another one.
    Brilliant machine Bought this as usually have Panasonic machines and once more they have come up to expectations. Really good easytouse recorder highly recommended.
    Died after 13 months Bought this in Feb 2011. It has now packed up with the dreaded U81 error code after just 13 months. Cannot get anything to function and checking internet forums shows this is not uncommon. Usual great service from Amazon when I bought it and when the unit was working was very pleased with it. Easy to record programmes using the TV guide and playback was simple to use. Very disappointed with Panasonic and always considered them top quality. At least I can make use of the 250Gb SATA drive. Bye bye Panasonic hello Samsung. If you're getting one make sure you take out an extended warranty.
    Good but complicated! Bought this just before Christmas to replace a Sony DVD/HDD recorder. I'm fairly good with tech. stuff but found this quite complicated to use compared to the Sony. I got very frustrated because it was very slow to switch on and then after a few weeks the listings on the programme Guide+ disappeared! I was frankly all ready to send it back thinking it was faulty but decided to check the 100 page!manual again first! Finally after searching for ages I found the answer to both problems and its working fine now. The size and complexity of the manual is quite offputting but it's important to take the time to read it carefully as the setup is not particularly user friendly.
    Panasonic DMREX83EB A great product easy to use both to record and play The set up is strait forward and there are more things to do with this recorder than i shall use but they are there if you want to take advantage of the other programes.
    Fast delivery and great product I received the delivery the day after placing the ordereven though the delivery estime was for the following day. The product was really easy to set up and to use and has met our expectations in every respect.
    Fine but renown DVD player mechanism problems Hi there we purchased this after a previous Panasonic EX768 DVD player just started to make clunking noises that according to forums is the problem with panasonic we have had this for about 15 months. The DVD trays are also difficult to replace as Panasonic have their own spec fittings. To repair the item would cost around £100 so we may as well purchase another one. On reflection it may have been worthwhile just purchasing a DVD player and separate HD storage to record from our Panasonic set. Take a hard long look and research other makes before purchase of this. We may be able to get the unit replaced under EU law but meanwhile we needed to purchase one in replacement.

    Great TV Bad experience with Amazon Warehouse Purchased Bauer 22 TV DVD Combi. Great looking TV excellent picture quality good sound. DVD operation is quiet. All in all a great TV for the price. However I purchased from Amazon Warehouse advertised as nearly new nearly list price too just repackaged. However when it arrived there was a picture flaw a line of bright pixels running down the screen. Totally unacceptable to anyone why don't the warehouse check these things when resold otherwise they just waste everyones time money and patience.On the TV itself minor gripe over the usability of the remote control but I'm sure you'd get used to it the EPG appeared to be only 24 hours probably not a big deal for a second TV the power input is 12V so it comes with a mains transformer possibly an issue if you wanted to wall mount.
    Great TV! Bought this TV as a birthday present for my mum to go in her kitchen. Looks really good works lovely and the picture is great quality. Looked through loads of TVs this size and really pleased with the price and what it can do.
    22 TV Easily set upnot withstanding some other reviews.Slight delay at channel change can be annoying but as it is not used as primary tv can be accepted for what it is a decent working tv that costs little for full services of more expensive ones.
    Great value for money If you want a second or third tv for a bedroom or kids room at an affordable price then you can't go wrong with this one. Good picture easy setup and great features. The USB recording is great.
    Good for anyone who wants a second television The picture is good though not brilliant. Easy to install and watch. Unfortunately the book that came with the machine was not always clear and it took some time to work out that you had to use the fav button on the remote to eject a DVD. The one aspect I really do not like is having to turn off the power by removing the plug from the wall as there is no on/off switch on the set.

    Good but flawed When it worked it was good good quality picture sound OK good features but after a couple of weeks the remote became unreliable. Changed batteries but still not good. DVD was quite noisy too.
    A top value televison After reading many other positive reviews I chose this television for our new kitchen. We have not been disappointed. It does everything I could have hoped for. The EPG facility allows you to drill down for whatever level of detail you wish. I am planning to use the PVR and if it works as in the handbook it will be brilliant. The icing on the cake when I opened the Amazon box was that this is actually an LED backlit TV. Not just LCD as implied by the online description.
    Fantastic value As others have said great value for money no problem to set up even reset following digital changeover.Picture quality is excellent.
    Good TV but the dvd wont work!!!! This is a good tv which I got as a late christmas present the picture is great and it has lots of channels. The sound is good and it looks nice. It is a perfect size and I am perfectly happy with italmost. A very good thing about this tv is that it has a dvd player. I was going to watch a film on it so I inserted the dvd into the side and looked through the instructions to see how you get onto dvd mode and it said to press the button on the remote that said s.page on it to get to the dvd menu but when I pressed this button nothing happened.
