Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Kiiro X5 DVD player delivers multi-region playback straight out of the box alongside a host of features and options including MP3 and CD audio and an integrated 5.1 surround sound decoder for that home cinema experience.
Upon taking the player out of the box, you're greeted with a handy quick start leaflet attached to the top of the unit, making the whole connection process very straightforward. The user manual is very easy to understand if you get into any difficulties when setting up more complicated audio and video combinations. The X5 is supplied with an RGB SCART cable for top quality image reproduction and there are connections on the back for S-Video and composite video.
The main advantage the X5 has over other players in its price range is in the on-board Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound decoder--delivering awesome sound when connected to a suitable amplifier. The X5 includes a test tone setting enabling you to check that your surround sound is all working fine. Coaxial and optical audio outputs for connection to a suitable amplifier are also present on the rear of the player. One thing we did notice when the X5 is connected to an amplifier is that a static pop can be heard when ejecting a disc.
Multi-region playback is a must nowadays and the X5 has no trouble delivery the goods. The auto-region sensing technology in the player means there's no messing about with codes and menus whenever you want to play a disc from another country. The audio and visual reproduction is excellent from a player at such a low price.
The X5 is an ideal DVD player for those with an existing amplifier capable of receiving a 5.1 surround signal and who are looking for a budget DVD player. Even if you don't have an amplifier, the player is well worth considering. --Martin Snelling

Xiiro X5 - plays anything you throw at it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kiiro X5 Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)
The Xiiro X5, is a great value DVD player for the features it holds. It's ultra slimline, and packed with great features. It also will hook up to pretty much anything you've got a plug for. For example, it connects to RGB scart, SVideo, Composite Video, and has a built in Dolby Digital Decoder and support for DTS. It also has both digital optical and coaxial outputs for audio. This DVD player can auto-sense regions and seems to play with ease all the DVDs my old player struggled with. - things like the Matrix, (a real problem disc for some players) and other American titles that would stop half-way thru the movie and refuse to continue to play. The Xiiro X5 also plays MP3's, CD's (which sound amazing via the Optical output) and the standard VCD formats (VCD v2 and VCD v3.0) and SVCD. The remote control also shows off some of the other features that my old player didn't have (slow-motion - (forward and reverse), a useful zoom feature and just has a generally well laid out feel to it. I would thoroughly recommend this player to anyone considering it.

A Suberb DVD player,
This review is from: Kiiro X5 Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)
I got the Kiiro X5 DVD player for my birthday and it does everything I need it too. Multi-Region DVD's, MP3 CDs, CDs... You do have to ask Kiiro for a firmware upgrade disk if you want to play VCDs and SVCDs, and this came within 4 days of sending the email with full instructions (although it is as simple as turning the player on, inserting the disk and waiting for 2 minutes!) Since it reads CDRW CDs, VCD's and SVCDs recorded on this format work fine and are excellent quality, so now Ive put all my holiday movies on VCD! This DVD player would still be a bargin at twice the price!

This review is from: Kiiro X5 Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)
I ordered one of these to replace a Sony DVD player that was only region 2, for the price on offer it seemed too good to be true and to be honest it was. The player does do what it claims to do but its lacking in a few departments... the build quality is awful, the case on the player wasn't fitted correctly so the first thing I had to do was to take it apart and re-fit the cover. The drive action on the player is weak to say the least. Its kind of hard to be-grude the player as its so cheap but I do expect a certain level of quality from a player thats meant to be from a reputable company. It does work and it does do what its meant to do but if you want build quality then look elsewhere (its kind of like buying a korean car, it does the same as a mercades but it doesn't look as good and isn't built as well).
