  • I haven't yet found any avi's it won't play. Tried about 8 off a DVD, and an episode of Lost from a USB memory stick. Both worked a treat.

    The 4 digit region free code also worked ;-)

    I bought the DVD player yesterday:
    It plays DVDs fine but is a bit dodgy with divx. Once it starts playing the file its fine, but often it gives errors when i try to play the files and it wont even start. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Change the setting to SuperSmart (or something that like). Voila - jitters gone.
    In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
    It's time to make that change.

    Is your HDD formatted in FAT? If not, it won't work properly. Also, if it's not a 2.5 or 1.8 HDD, it will need its own power source. As stated earlier, mine plays everything I've thrown at it (through USB, including a USB key).

  • I think if you're main reason for buying is the USB, then you may be on a sticky wicket. I see it as a bonus, not the main reason. I guess if it's your main reason, just take it back
  • Are these machines the Akura ? Went to the local Aldi and they had about 20 but were marked as £21.99 and no mention of Divx capability.
  • They are akura, but are branded Medion.
    It's not the £21.99 one allthatmularky, that's a different one.
    It clearly mentions mpeg4 playback on the front.
  • These machines aren't branded Medion. They are Tevion machines, but made by Akura.
