RE: Goodmans DVD3500 / Grundig GDV620 annoying BUZZ from Woofer ?

Hi again,

Well I exchanged my Grundig GDV620 for another on Monday.

I have yet to try the new machine - I will try it tonight and let you all know.

I didn`t have any problems exchanging the unit - but if this one is as bad, I shall be seeking a refund.

I do not think there should be a bad hiss or buzz from the woofer. I would not put up with it on a £40 portable and certainly not on something costing £200. (Even if £200 is a lot cheaper than the competition).

Cheers.

Goodmans DVD3500 / Grundig GDV620 annoying BUZZ from Woofer ?

Hi all,

==> To update this post, I tried a 2nd Grundig - but it had the same bad hiss/buzz from the woofer, very noticable in the quiet surrounding of your lounge, compared to a noisy store. At higher volume settings I could also hear a sort of clock noise (IE. repetative beat ).
I returned the 2nd unit to Currys and got a refund without any problems - I`m going to save up and buy a more expensive brand. (As recommended by the in store service technician .... )

Cheers.

The Buzz/hiss from the sub woofer on my player is very bad and noticable even when there is no DVD being played - and it is still there when playing the movie.

- Turn volume anything above 2 and the buzz is constant.
- Tried an alternate speaker, same problem.
- Tried different position etc - still there.

I am going to take the whole lot back to Currys on Monday - for exchange or refund, as the unit is definitely faulty.

Calling all you Goodmans / Grundig owners out there - do you have the same problem. (So far I have seen 2 posts, 1 with and 1 without Buzz, plus mine of course ).

Please let me know.

Fozz.

Goodmans DVD3500 / Grundig GDV620 Problems

HI all,

Bought a Grundig GDV620 from my local Currys last night for £199 (Included 3 free DVDs from a short selection).

2 possible problems so far :

1) There is a very noticable (read annoying!) buzz from the Sub Woofer. Do they all suffer from this ... ? Anyone tried a different speaker etc ?

2) With my free DVD (7 years in Tibet) the colour Red was very washed out - IE. almost brown. I used a scart connection (nicked from my video) and the Sony TV doesn`t seem to have a problem with Red from TV/Video. Anyone else noticed poor colour reproduction .. ?

Cheers.

RE: Goodmans DVD 3500 Region Hack ?

HI,

I don`t have the answer - BUT ...

I notice that Dixons are also selling this player - Branded as GRUNDIG
Different model number - but I`m certain that it`s the same.

Cheers.
