OK, here's that test report SYStranslated. Looks like it does have upscaling, but ...Achtung! The drawer drives out, in rather leisurely speed, not completely of the Player!
HDMI von Lidl
With the Relaunch the 6515/6516 for 55,55€ expect the Lidl buyers starting from that 02,04,07 a constructionally unchanged product, which was manufactured however in a new load. After information of the manufacturer there are no changes of the hard and software. The following test has thereby invariably validity:
What expects me, if I buy a Player with the Lebensmitteldiscounter? First once, compared with the competition, very attractive equipment price. That comes by slim calculation and the fact is entitled, which is long abverkauft the equipment only one time. A kostenaufwaendigen support over an entire equipment running time does not need to be taken into account. The model care is usually limited to the following two to three months after the purchase, with which possible errors are repaired by an equipment update. One may not expect a consultation with the grocer, but the devices with accessories are plentifully gesegnet. Defective devices are exchanged normally against a new copy. Lidl grants reassuring 3 years warranty.
SilverCrest is a registered label name of the Lidl Stifung. Under this name devices of different origin are sold. For this SilverCrest Player the Bochumer has responsibility company Kompernass.
The ZV888-Player comes along in a dark, rather unclearly printed on packing, the sides announces to us on German the versatile abilities of the Players, the front sides wunderlicherweise on English narrow-printed. With the Player a very good 30-seitige, German-language guidance in the format, the remote maintenance, batteries for this, a Scart cable and a Chinch cable are supplied with to DIN A4. A special added places, like already with the predecessors of Targa, which Burosch test DVD, which is located on the Player this time and contains among other things a multimedia guidance of the Players. We return later to it. A HDMI cable is unfortunately not attached to the Player.
The 430mm x 205mm x 48mm measuring SilverCrest is to be acquired in silver under the product designation 6515 and in black with the product designation 6516. The models are otherwise identical. In our test we refer to the silver 6515 variant.
Like already the predecessor model 6510/11 convinces also the 6515 after unpacking by one, for this preisklasse, amazingly accurate and solid processing.
The 6515 has a genuine circuit breaker at the left side, with which it can be separated completely from electricity mains. Thus in the Standby uselessly river is not used. Standby consumption is with measured, record-suspiciously low 0.57 Watts. In the enterprise the SilverCrest loads the electricity bill with low 10.3 Watts.
Beside the circuit breaker is those, unfortunately fashionably much fragil and thinly designte drive assembly drawer, which makes a quite torsionally stiff impression however despite its " thickness ".
The drawer drives out, in rather leisurely speed, not completely of the Player. At the sides there are no interferences to the DVD withdrawal, which must take place in such a way via the hole in the center. That is for humans with thick fingers an annoyance.
The drive assembly functions can be served completely at the Player. The keys are seize-friendly attached with defined pressure point, but unfortunately above on the Player. An accommodation in the rack with devices, which are positioned on the Player, can obstruct an operation.
On the right side a well fit in flap, which covers the two map pits and the USB 2,0 connection, decorates the Player.
The display of the Players is pleasing informative. The titles and TRACK number as well as the play time are indicated.
Unfortunately the view is disturbed on the display by the fashionably reflected front surface of the Players a little. By the high, over the remote maintenance besides dimmbare, luminosity of the display one can read in addition, with daylight everything, if the not straight sunlight falls directly on the Player.
At the tail of the Players we find a well processed and stably fixed arsenal of connections.
For the clay/tone there are Spdif in optical and coaxialer execution, similar 5,1 and 2,0 Stereo Chinch exits. The picture can be spent over Fbas, s-video-Hoside, a Scart with RGB and Fbas and VGA as well as YUV component, letzere with the possibility of progressive CAN and the Upscaling on 720p and 1080i. The HDMI 1,1 interface sends both digital video signals in 576p, 720p and 1080i, as well as digital PCM and Bitstream of audio signals, inclusive. DVD audio.
If we were spoiled with 6510 still with a remote maintenance really succeeded, to that only a budget standard instrument is attached to 6515. The keys are grouped and at night illuminiert meaningfully, them differ however in size and form only insufficiently from each other. The pressure point is acceptable.
The radius of action of the remote maintenance is OK ONE, the diode strongly genung to bridge also larger distances.
Worths
A view from above of the Player reveals, which we do not have to do it with 205 mm with very deep equipment. Other devices might have it with difficulty to find at 6515 the place. The condition feet of the equipment do not offer sufficient stop, in order to prevent during operation a shifting of the equipment to the rear.
If we removed the frame cover 6516, the SilverCrest surprises us with a filled interior life.
The cables could be shorter and more arranged. The housing works also without covers sufficiently substantial, here we in the recent past by far worse experiences to make had. Even the power pack seems to be more largely than usually selected for an price-optimized Player a number.
SilverCrest uses drive assemblies of Sanyo and Samsung. The Loader is comparatively voluminoes and works sufficiently stably, to which surely the building method contributes. The Loader is in front, fixed from down and in the back at the housing bowl. The drive assembly is to be only heard in the normal enterprise, if one puts the ear directly to the Player. Starting from approx. 30 cm distance one hears absolutely nothing more from its activity.
The 6516 be based on a Zoran Vaddis 888, the Main board does not correspond to the reference Design of Zoran, the manufacturer builds here on an extended self-Design. The Multimediachip ZV 888 is responsible for all interests of the video signals, takes over also the Upscaling and Deinterlacing.
The 6516 integrated 5,1 transducers for Dolby have digitally and DTS, whose signals he passes on in similar form to the 5,1 and 2,0 connections. Anywhere does not mention, but nevertheless possible: The SilverCrest plays also DVD audio. As 192kHz transducer one selected a Wolfson WM 8522G. That is not comparable with BurrBrown or Crystal chips, but always better than any ungelabelter Noname transducer of uncertain origin. This is rather amazing and very pleasing for in such a manner price-optimized equipment.

Sure you're not talking about this big long thread about the Aldi Tevion model? I searched there for LIDL/Silvercrest/HDMI and can't find anything except threads about the HDMI cable for £5.
I think I might try one out anyway — 2-year warranty and all! Any time I've had to bring back an electronics item to Lidl, they just asked me had I tried the manufacturer's support line, I said "Yeah, they told me to bring it back to the store" and they just gave me my money back... 0 -
