Matsui VDVD500

no bad points. It does the job well.

After a couple of months the remote control stopped working

good does what it needs to do

Value for money, plays back most home made DVD discs

TV tuning is a bit tricky, remote slightly "fiddly" but these are more "niggles" than bad points.

reasonably small machine

very complicated for the ordinary man in the street to assemble or even understand the manual. even harder if you already have digital TV and it has to be connected to everything
