More Strathfield Group reviews , RRP: AU$599.00

The good:

  • Inexpensive
  • Supports a wide range of formats
  • Plenty of accessories supplied

The bad:

  • Noisy motor
  • Video quality only average

The bottomline:

While its cheap offering price is enticing, issues with the physical design and build quality make the Shinco SDP-1720A a less than appealing portable DVD option.

Good Price Good Product

As the full review states discs do grind when first put in and spin fast when youy open the dvd. But there is a great picture and sound quality with the shinco.When we brought the player at strathfield we were not wanting to spend alot of money which was a tiny bit risky but its great

      The DVP703 might seem like another cheapy portable DVD player. In price terms it is — but its value is rather more than first meets the eye.
