Editorial Reviews :
Norcent's affordable DP300 features dual NTSC/PAL video outputs, built-in MP3 decoding, and a dual-laser pickup for compatibility with not only DVDs and CDs, but CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well. It's also ideal for taking with you on vacation in Europe or Japan, as you can manually select the voltage on the back panel (AC 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz). Keep in mind that it will only play Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) DVDs. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
In the audio realm, a single set of left-right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. A 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimal decoding of DVDs and CDs.
Playback options include onscreen menu, parental lock, resume/memory play, eight-grade fast or slow motion, and nine-image digest viewing. Supplied accessories include a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, an instruction manual, and a full-function remote control.
Buyer Reviews :
I had been looking for a 2nd DVD player that will do multi-format playback (DVD-VCD-SVCD-MP3). My Apex 5131 changer has served me well, but since it was the only player I'd had experience with, I figured to get another. While perusing the Nerdout.com forums on dvd players, I came across some good comments on the Norcent DP300, and the price seemed right, so I bought one. This single disc unit is small, but it's performance belies it's minimalist demeanor. It will play anything but soup can lids, as near as I can tell.
One of my gripes with the Apex unit was having to re-adjust my TV's video setting to make the picture viewable each time I watched a DVD in it. The Norcent was perfectly balanced right out of the box, PLUS it has built in brightness, contrast, & sharpness controls to boot! The only shortcomings I can see with it is not having a front display (no biggie, as the onscreen menu is well laid out and easy to use), and it not having an optical digital output (coax only).The build quality overall is quite adequate, although a little 'delicate-seeming', perhaps. But heck, what do you expect at this pricepoint?
This unit was purchased to be used as a 2nd machine. Well ..guess what? The Apex was recently moved into the back bedroom.This little silver box is chock full of features at a price you can't beat.
