+ The price, straightforward and easy to use. Good picture quality and sound quality.

- On permanent standby, as far as I can work out, unless you turn it off at the wall. Slightly noisy when running.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Big DVD/Tech enthusiast”

+ Slim line. Eject button. Easy to plug in and control

- Small remote with smaller buttons. The "Next" button is at the bottom, the "back" at the top, although displyed clearly, can be confusing due to what your brain would logistically see, i.e. next above.

+ The item has everything you need. Comes with a remote (no batteries) and tuned in quickly. The size made it perfect for sitting on the shelf in the bedroom as it was so compact. Perfect.

- No batteries for remote or scart lead but what do you expect for the money.
