    For those that have purchased this machine, how have you found the lip-sync and picture quality, especially on Region 1 DVDs? I know people with various cheapo players that I'm sure are based on the same chipset, and they definitely have problems. NTSC signal washed out, speech drifts out of sync (usually ahead of the picture) and picture contrast is terrible (most noticeable on night scenes).

    have had the player for a while now... noticed some sync problems on one film, but otherwise its a fairly decent player.

    only real concern i had was the door coming unattached and getting the annoying bloody springs into place.

    it is however a budget player and should be treated as such, dont be expecting perfection, but at £20 for a multi-region player you cant really go worng.

    Found this in the Reviews on Amazon if it helps:

    Manufacturer's Description
    Join the DVD revolution with the Starlogic multi-region DVD player. Ideal as a starter machine for those looking for a feature-packed DVD player or as a second player for the bedroom, the Starlogic is hard to beat. Offering outstanding value for money, the slimline Starlogic measures just 360 x 50 x 250 mm (W/H/D) and will playback any DVD purchased from anywhere in the world, straight out of the box.
    This stylish player is more than just a DVD player as it includes JPEG and MP3 picture and music CD/DVD support. The player is also compatible with the following CD media: DVD, SVCD, VCD, CD Audio, CD-G, HD-CD, MP3 and JPEG images stored on CD-R/CD+R media. Although not mentioned in the product manual, the Starlogic will also playback DVD+R/+RW and DVD-R/-RW dics.

    The user manual, although quite short, is very easy to understand and gives you clear guidance on which audio/video setup gives the best results. The full-function remote control allows you to access all of the player's options/features including zoom, multi-angle, volume up/down as well as all the standard DVD playback controls. Around the back of the player you'll find a vast array of video/audio connections including component, S-video and SCART for video as well as coaxial and optical sockets for audio.

    Box Contents
    DVD Player
    RCA cable(1pc)
    Remote control
    Batteries
    Manual

    SCART cable NOT included (but according to an earlier posting, if you are using an old TV without SCART socket, it is OK)
