Asked staff, but all gone from Lidl in Limerick at 10am when I called in! :-(

Hopefully Aldi will do an even better deal soon and with more units per shop!

Aldi did their version of this machine about a month ago afaik:eek:

So how do you reckon that it doesnt upscale then?

It does have an hdmi out port.

Model number is Silvercrest KH 6515

Is the new store on Pottery Rd, Dun Laoghaire open yet?

Not yet is very near complete though looks like its just a matter of stacking the shelves...

Vokes · 16-10-2006 12:47PM

Thanks for that, podgewash.

I have another brother who'll see if he can grab me one at the Gorey store

Hi Ronan. What things have you played on it so far? Cheers.

Ronan|Raven · 16-10-2006 01:46PM

hi sofaking I have played numerous avi files encoded in xvid and divx (varying versions) I have played mpeg2 files in it, mp3 and wma

Going to grab some mkv files from a hdd and try them on it. It didnt read my hdd as it is in NTFS might grab a spare drive and format it in fat32 and see what happens. It read my usb key (512mb)

LIDL in Leixlip sold out after 11:00 this morn???

We Irish hate to miss a bargain!!

Vokes · 16-10-2006 01:55PM

Thanks for the info, Ronan. Sounds great.

Hope there's some left in the Gorey store

I've been reliably informed, that the Pottery Rd, Dun Laoghaire store opens Thursday - they'll probably only have new stock but it might be worth a look for the dvd player for anyone who lives nearby.

Been looking for the code to make it multi region - Besides the one that was already posted I could only find this one

Open tray and press 2812 on your remote.
You can change the Region at this point
Put the Region to number 9 to play everything.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but they are sold out in gorey as well

Amigaman · 16-10-2006 02:13PM

they are sold out from the store in Lucan also ...since 10 this morning

red_bairn · 16-10-2006 02:59PM

(To SofaKing)
Making other people do your dirty work, is it for that i have to get it for?

monkeyfudge · 16-10-2006 03:25PM

I unpacked it over lunch... It's a nice enough little unit... it's fairly wide but has very little depth to it. The tray feels very flimsy though, and the remote is a bit on the tatty side too.

It won't recognise my USB key. I'll have to look at the formatting on it.

But it does play dvix files very well off CD anyway.

c - 13 · 16-10-2006 03:32PM

When reading off memory keys etc does it allow for folder navigation or does it just play sequentially ?

blastman · 16-10-2006 03:35PM

Got (the last) one this morning in my local Lidl at about 8.40am Hotcakes! It's not for me, though, it's the bro's Christmas present.

I didnt manage to get one

Didnt have cash on me when I was near coolock, Friend checked in the drogheda store at around 1pm (was too late, I know)

And I checked moore street at about 2pm.... just *in case* they got a late delivery of an extra pallet. Outta luck

Anyone have any luck getting a region free hack yet

Timans · 16-10-2006 04:32PM

Sold out...

phasers · 16-10-2006 07:51PM

brothers went up first thing this morning
said it's really good
definitely worth the money!
the buttons on the remote glow in the dark
(trust my brother to notice this in broad daylight)

mobby · 16-10-2006 08:28PM

This player will not read usb hard disc drives. Manual says only usb keys up to 512mb will work, not what i thought it would be. The Aldi drive was much better.

chilli_pepper · 16-10-2006 08:29PM

I enquired in the store in Walkinstown and they said they will be getting more in before crimbo...Hope they get enough in to supply all the boardies

Does the drive not need to be formatted as FAT32 ?

Saruman · 16-10-2006 08:38PM

Tried in Liexlip.. no joy.. will try Mullingar tomorrow evening... doubt it though.... anyway if it does not read off a usb hard drive then im not bothered. That was why i was going to get it.
