Zensonic Z330

Excellent – I recommend this type multi media player to everyone. It's affordable, easy to use and has more than enough connections at the rear to satisfy most people. Plays all sorts of media files. No need to waste time converting files to DVD format. Have not had a problem with mine, i understand previous models were problematic and the Z330 came out with two different type trays, one better than the other. Some people say the picture is choppy, i've found that this is due to the file its trying to play more so than the player it self.

Good – Overall, no problems with this machine. Plays back everything I have thrown at it with good quality sound and pics. Plays all types of files that I could previously only play on my pc. Having difficulty with firmware upgrade.

Bad – I purchased this DVD player purely for its DIVX capabilities. After reading the reviews on this site I went to a popular chain retailer to buy the player. While I did NOT test it's DVD capabilities, I did take a close look at the DIVX capabilities, and let me say that I was greatly disapointed. So much so that not three hours after I bought the player, I returned it! While some DIVX movies played well, far too many new movies played choppy, so much so that it would prove quite distracting to actually have to sit there and watch an entire movie. So while I cannot rate the DVD capabilities of the player, I must say that this is a very POOR alternative to using the TV out option on a PC to watch DIVX movies. Cheap. I was able to retun it =) DIVX playback was more often then not choppy and would be quite distracting. Compared to wathing DIVX movies via a PCs TV out function, the Zensonic Z330 was a poor substitute. Considering it is priced at around the same price as 'brand name' DVD players, if you want a player for just DVDs, look elsewhere.

Good – Great product. Great value. Cheap, plays everything, looks good, compact, nice picture and colours, region free. CDs sounded the SLIGHTEST bit better out of my dedicated Sony CD player. Only SLIGHTLY.
