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.
Foz.

I just saw your player in the Currys mag today and thought it looked good value
Can you give me some more info
Does it play VCD on CD-R`s?
Mp3?
Apart from your Subwoofer problem is it any good?
Picture/sound quality?
Is there a multi-region hack? Have you tried all the grundig ones?
Have you seen any other reviews of this player? I can`t even see it listed on the Grundig site?

I looked at both these systems as there is a currys and comet next door to each other where I live, I went for the Goodmans and I am quite happy with the picture quality and there is no buzz from the sub-woofer.
I use a scart connection.
As far as the playing of CD-R, it doesn`t garantee playing them but I have found it will play some makes and not others(music) for instance it plays most that are on blue maxell(but not all) and blue samsung,these are the only makes that I have had any joy with.But I bought some other maxell today which have silver bottoms and it won`t play them.
Also I have other makes which are blue that don`t work so I have no idea why some work and others don`t.
If anyone has any ideas it would help.
