+ It's sleek and small, so it doesn't take up much room on my shelf. I bought it to go with a Samsung flatscreen and they look great together. It's easy to use and does what you need it to do. Great value for money.

+ Easy to set-up and use - plays all DVDs from U.K and U.S no problems at all.

- Only thing I can't see is a 'RESUME' feature on DVD i.e playing from position once DVD stopped; it goes back to the start - isn't too much of an issue though.

+ Assembled and running within 10 minuets, with no problems.
