dvd/divx/mp3 + 5.1spkrs 89eu

Chalk · 10-12-2004 8:20am #1

was down in superquinn sutton last night and got one of these for 89 bucks

it plays everything except rm
its a sweet little thing, the speakers are a bit cheapy but what do you expect at this price.

all sorts of outputs
dts coax and opt
scart
y cb/pb cr/pr
built in radio
2 mic ins the front for karoke discs

one thing i noticed is how fast browsing on it is.
theres no delay moving between folders or opening multiple xvids on a dvd

Thanks.

Check out this site - used hacks from it for my Philips 626 - worked a charm
You may find the hack you are looking for - typed in Digix and it brought up a few posts

I wonder if the HT-200 has a different name mmmmmmmmm.

it could be a rebadged item possibly great player although

Can anyone tell me,does this player show a screen saver when you play a cd?
There nothing I hate more than on my current player when you play a cd you get a big dopey looking blue "DVD video" screen

you can turn the screen saver off methinks....or turn off the TV!!

Thanks folks - sweet player.

Did anyone figure out if its a re-badged version of something else?

I tried a Region 1 disc NTSC last night and it played hmmmmmmmmm the packaging says region 2 and it plays them aswell unusual

stevenmu · 21-12-2004 2:55pm

My parents got one of these, it seems to be region free out of the box, in one of the setup menus it allows you to pick the region anyway, it might lock after a few plays. Anybody notice a way to input sound from a TV/Digital decoder into it to get the sound over 5.1 ?

what menu are you looking at?

stevenmu · 22-12-2004 10:40am

Press the setup button on the remote, then I think it was the 3rd or 4th option down, in the sub-menu (press right to get) one of the options is region.

Chalk · 22-12-2004 10:41am

all ihave is speaker setup and language menus on mine

stevenmu · 22-12-2004 11:53am

I'll try and check again tonight exactly where it was, maybe some of them have slightly different firmware.

Maybe this one? http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=9748

It was actually a locale setting under preferences. It doesn't seem to affct regions at all (or anything else as far as I can tell). Have tried a few of the codes from the sites above too but none are working, anybody have any luck converting it to region free ?

Mr-X · 31-12-2004 5:35pm

do they still have these?

I saw a plenty of them today, Superquinn in Lucan.

chump · 31-12-2004 6:04pm

The lidl divX player converted to region free with not a worry... you people should really go for brand quality next time
