RE: Makro DVD Player - mini review

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

Keith,
Can it display photos, if burnt on CDs in some format?
I plan to send it to my parents to view photos on the TV (they are still PC=
illiterate).
How can I buy it from Makro? I don't see any such facilities on their web site (www.makro.co.uk).
Cheers,
Nik

  Hi All,

  Just been to Makro and bought two of the DVD players that Mark told = us
  about.

  Naiko N2001B

  Initial impressions ...Very Good.

  Composite picture is great
  S-Video picture is great

  RGB - cant get that working at the moment for some strange reason. I= t
doesnt
  grab the TV as RGB when you select RGB and forcing my Mitsubishi int= o RGB
  mode gave only a pinkish picture as if the Green was missing. There = is a
  "V-Mode" button on the handset which steps through 3 optio= ns, Composite,
RGB
  and one  that drove my TV nuts!.

  Plugging in via S-Video at the same time revealed that the S-Video o= utput
is
  present both on RGB and Composite modes (something which is not poss= ible
on
  my Wharfdale 750, that is RGB OR S-Video). It also gave a strangely<= BR> coloured
  image when the third V-Mode was selected. VERY interestingly, the ca= ption
  YCRCB was displayed at the top left of the screen so it looks as if = it
  supports component video via the SCART which explains why the TV wen= t a
bit
  haywire. I dont have any Component capable kit to verify this.

  MP3 files sound great and it also played my "Inspector Gadget&q= uot; DVD with no
  problems. (On the Wharfdale it refused to start from the play option= in
the
  main menu, the only way to play is is to select chapter one and let = it run
  from there.)

  The remote seems a bit directional but I can live with that.

  At the moment I am not too worried about not getting RGB working as = it
will
  mainly be used with Composite only TV's and S-Video TV's over KAT5 f= or
  development purposes. I also havent tried to find any Region hacks a= s most
  of my DVD's are Region 2 anyway and the Region 1 discs can always be=
played
  on the other DVD player.

  When Amber was told she was getting her own DVD player she said &quo= t;Can I
have
  a new tele as well... my one is too small!" Thats my Girl :-)
  Conclusion - for =A350 + VAT this is a real bargain :-)

  Keith
