Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The Alba DVD65 is an excellent entry point into DVD combining good looks with a robust build quality and adequate feature set. While other models in the Alba current and previous ranges such as the DVD45, 55 and 59 may have attracted criticism for amongst other things, their dour looks, the DVD65 is an attractive slimline player, measuring just 360x251x48mm. The stylish silver finish is complemented by a slim black strip across the front fascia and a row of discreet control buttons that sit on the elegantly sloped leading top edge. The player is simple to set up with a clear detailed product manual and uncluttered on screen menu system. The remote control is a simple to use, functional design. No SCART lead is supplied with the player, so you will need to purchase one of these to connect the player to your TV. Other connections on the back of the player include composite video and audio sockets, for the unlikely event of no SCART connection being available on your TV, plus there is a co-axial digital audio output connection. This is used for connecting up to a Dolby Digital decoder and surround sound equipment (not included) for creating that full home cinema experience.

The playback quality of the Alba DVD65 is impressive. Image reproduction is good and there is support for a wide range of discs. The model is capable of playing discs from multiple regions without any modification and also supports playback of audio CDs, CD-Recordable discs and the Kodak PhotoCD format enabling you to playback digital images from your camera that have been stored on a CD. While not documented within the manual, we also found during testing that the DVD65 was capable of playing back DVD+R discs.

While the Alba DVD65 may not be packed with advanced features seen on some of the high end DVD players costing several hundred pounds, it has the looks of a far more expensive player and is simple to set up and use providing everything you need for great quality playback of all your DVD movies without costing a fortune.

    5.0 out of 5 stars On further considration..., 17 Jan 2005
    By M. D. Consterdine "Don't make me shout!" (Newcastle, Staffs, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This machine is a little diamond, it's compatable with every disc I have ever put in it. A lot of which I didnt expect it to play. It even plays NTSC discs and converts the output to PAL in perfect colour(!!), which if you have an old TV that doesn't handle NTSC (like mine) is a god send. I have looked at 3 other players in the £30 price range that friends have purchased recently (including the 'proline' from Comet and the 'technica' from Tesco), and this one wipes the floor with all three in most every respect.
    Any little moans you could come up with about this player pale when it's compared to the alternatives in the same price range.

    I wrote a review on this player, after I'd had it for a few days scoring it 3/5, mostly because when you zoom the "zoom x-" display remains on screen. "Not with a square TV!" I said. Appologies to Alba, in 'set up' if you change the picture setting to widescreen, only smallest of borders remain on screen. In some cases (movies in cini scope) this does mean the picture looks a little squashed. But thats easily bearable. small moans included no standby button on the remote, and a few more buttons on the machine it's self would have been nice. But still buy this one!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value!, 11 Feb 2006
    I've had this DVD player for a week now and i couldn't be more pleased with it. At this price it is extremely good value.

    I have plenty of Region 1 discs that I haven't been able to play since my previous Pacific DVD player died a year ago. This one does the job for a very silly price!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Decent dvd player at a gd low price, 22 Mar 2006
    I brought this dvd nearly a month ago, it plays any region dvd, but there is a tiny - quite fixable problem, some of my dvd's dont load probably - it justs goes back to the dvd players menu - but if u press menu on your remote control its goes straight to the dvd disc menu( i know this isnt really a big deal, but if it happens to anyone elses, u now know someones else has the problem to), but apart from that.... PLAYS GREAT!!!
