Pros: Everything comes in a box, as depicted in DX description, the unit with the remote control -battery included-, connecting cables and AC adaptor.

A short but useful user manual is too included. A bit rough english, but quite understandable.

True Plug&Play, the start menu is in english and my PAL TV system was detected automatically. Less than 1 minute after unpacking I was already watching a DivX movie.

In a more detailed way:

AUDIO: The audio mp3 files are decoded easily from any source (SD card or USB stick). Sound quality is quite good.

PICTURES: JPEG format pictures are also decoded from both inputs. You can browse and explore folders, select one and play the pics in slideshow from the one you select. Good image quality, no flickering.

MOVIES: DivX AVI files play great from the SD card input. Also it plays movies from a USB-Stick. Quite good image quality. Pause with stable image. Fast forward/rewind at 2x, 4x, 8x and 20x work perfectly if your SD card is a fast enough one (at least 66X)

REMOTE CONTROL: works nicely and reaches the unit from at least five meters.

The small size is a very big pro.

Cons: The ac adaptor in the box was for an USA mains outlet, even if the picture shown in DX is clearly that of an european plug -what I was expecting to get- then I used an USA/European adaptor to check the player.

A quite annoying audible "interference noise" appears when playing movies. When if FFWD or in the case you should increase the volume, it can be a real pain. It comes from a poor shielding of the audio signal from the DC inlet, and replacing the ac adaptor included for another one - from a not in use digital photo frame I have- resulted in a very strong noise reduction.

The unit heats up quite a lot after a few minutes working. I glued four small "feet" to the corners of the box bottom to allow some air circulation and the heating decreased noticeably.

Other Thoughts: With a better shielding and USB 2.0, it would be perfect.

Bottomline: With a great quality-price match, this is a must have. Take with you in travels or to your friend's houses to enjoy pics and movies.
