Page 1 of Yelo Review in DVD Mag

Not sure which mag it was (oct 2000 issue though), but whilst flicking in WHSmith`s I noticed that the Yelo only got 3 out of 5 and was marked down due to sound quality. I have read the 95% Total DVD review and just thought it strange why people rush and buy a player on the strength of one review. Surely It`s best to read a selection and then purchase. Ive just returned my X Wave and ordered the Wharfedale 750s which has had many good reviews etc.

Just my 2p`s worth

Woz

Please state the magazine?

Hitachi 505 Rocks!

The magazine is Total dvd.They gave 50% for the sc-2000 and
68 % for the daewoo dvd player.When i mentioned to them that
they were identical players apart from the colour they couild not
explain why 2 identical players were given 2 different reviews.

Probably because the build quality of each unit was very different as I think you mentioned in another thread QC has much to be desired?

also I know The Yelo got 95% in The Budget Shoot out as I posted it, I wish to know which mag it only got 3 out of 5?

HITACHI 505 ROCKS!

The magazine I saw the 3/5 review had a free cover mounted DVD with the new Disney movie `Dinosaur` on the front. It was in WH Smith`s and had an exclusive to Smiths foldable half cover.

what dvd is the mag in question , and they found it to make periodic noises like my player?

i read a review on dvdreview.net and they do mention the subtitle problem but they still give the yello an overall score of 10 out of 10. i suppose it comes down to the individual at the end of the day i will hopefuly form my opinion on tuesday. fingers crossed on this one i am sick of sending players back but if this does turn out to be pants the lecson dvd 900 may be my next choice.

Artifacts on all of the DVDs Ive Seen. PowerDVD on a PC comes close to the quality of this player.
Mines going back - See the subtitles thread for a more in-depth review.

Consumer Magazines are talking BOL*OCKS as usual.

s***E.
