Sigmatek xs-520 - utter garbage

    So just got this today from pixmania.

    http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/530552/art/sigmatek/xs-520-pro-dvd-player.html

    Emailed them for technical advice pre purchase and they said they didnt offer any technical support or advice and contact the manufacturer (!)

    Knew it was cheap but all I wanted to do was play some avis and hopefully also play some subtitles (eg SRT files) also.

    Have 6 perfect dvd-rs with 3 avis on each.

    Result: only 3 dvds are readable (all are perfectly fine on laptop)
    No mpeg subtitle support
    Menu system in french
    Batteries in remote didn't work

    I will be binning this tomorrow. I only gave the silvercrest 6/10 but this gets 0/10. Utterly terrible. Has anyone else got one of these? Perhaps I got a bad one ?

    Sigmatek have a habit of not supporting their players you can see on the unofficial sigmatek forum (which is largely French but some English sub forums) the XM-400 Pro was very popular with lots of unofficial firmware updates, you could try looking for an update to the XS-520 but I would not get my hopes up.

    sigmatek??? even by the name you can tell it's going to be crap.

    and to be honest, what were you expecting of it for ~€30??
