| 95434 | 2002-11-03 09:38:00 | Most (if not all) DVD players purchased new in NZ will have the zone 4 thing on the back. But generally are multi-zoned. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 95435 | 2002-11-03 11:19:00 | Oh .. one thing I'd like to add is those $200-$300 players can play MP3, CDR and CDRW discs where as those known brand can not ... | mashimaro (2168) | ||
| 95436 | 2002-11-03 19:02:00 | I use a cheap was around $450 1 year ago Hiteker dvd player from China, great value it has a zoom feature, is macrovision and zone free plays all formats of vcd mp3s and cdrws etc the sound is fine by me as good as I want it goes thru my $1000 Sony stereo and into a flat screen 29" tv Picture quality isnt on par with a top of the line player but is still far superior to any vhs player. | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 95437 | 2002-11-03 19:47:00 | My 2c. I have a Hiteker AD700, bought about 1 1/2 years ago. Was one of the cheapest then. Straight out the box was multizoned, macrovision disabled and played MP3's / CDR / CDRW's. (but in the manual and on the box and player it says it's a Zone 4) Since then I have updated the firmware with the Sampo modified version for this model and now can also put in a CD with pictures on it and view them on my 41" tele!! The 1700 or so pictures of my trip overseas never looked so good! |

| 95438 | 2002-11-06 09:28:00 | True you can play jpg's thru the HIteker DVD players burn them in a vcd disk on Nero then they play like a slide show on cdr or cdrw. | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 95439 | 2002-11-06 19:13:00 | No, there's no need to burn it as a VCD. Just save JPG's onto a CD as normal. Then when you put it in the DVD player you get a list of all the JPG file names or folders on it. Then you can view the lot as a slide show or folder by folder. You can also rotate and mirror the images on the screen! Can also have different types of fades between images! | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 95440 | 2002-12-08 09:06:00 | does it matter which lenoxx model. mine is lenoxx dvd 8700. is it multi-zoned? theres nothing in my manual about it. | toaiva (1317) | ||
| 95441 | 2002-12-08 10:11:00 | there are two ways to find out if it is multizoned. 1. Insert A Dvd which has originated from an other country, e.g play a dvd from America. Does it work? If it does, then ur player is multizone. New Zealand DVDs are Zone 4, try 1,2 and 3 and so on to see if ur player is multizone. 2. Search the internet, go to Lenoxx's homepage and find the product on the online database and it should tell u. cheers, v.K |

| 95443 | 2002-12-08 18:22:00 | LOL, I run into this question about name brands against the cheap versions daily. I'm a salesman and get to play with the lot. There IS a difference between the various players including features and playback and most importantly reliability. As an experiment which we now have permantly set up we have 3 dvd players setup on identical tv's running through identical stereos for customers to compare. To ME, and that is the important piece as I beleive the picture is different for everyone, the best results are gained from the Sony while the gains are minimal over the higher priced Onkyo dvd. We also have a Lennox connected and I can see a significant difference in the picture quality. We have them connected to 100hz TV's which bring out the best in any player. For use as an audio player dvd's are completely adequate for the average user but there is a slight difference in sound quality between the brands. The vast majority of late model dvd players will all play mp3,cdr etc with sony now releasing superaudio cd's which are amazing and various manufacturers also bringing dvd/harddrive combo units onto the market. As for multizoning sadly New Zealands days of this are rapidly ending. Some early models will still read multizone however the dvd manufacturers are starting to change the zone coding on the disc and multizone units will soon only be able to play the old style zoned discs. This will not be a problem to the large majority of dvd owners in NZ as the inporters have also gotten their act together and are now importing the discs far more quickly than before and the range available is nearly as good as what is available from overseas. A DVD player is largely a matter of personal choice. Everyone sees and hears differently so what might be wonderful to one person looks horrible to the next. Choose a unit that looks and sounds good to you but remember the acoustics and television will be different at home than at the shop. If you really want to get the best out of your unit then spend some money on good quality leads but not to the point of excess. Pudney & Lee Premium Gold are more than adequate for most users. |
