Iview HD Player 1080P All Region DVD Media Player with HDMI Intrface

Iview HD Player 1080P All Region DVD Media Player with HDMI Intrface
  • High Definition HDMI interface 480i/480P/720P/1080P
  • Upconvert to 1080P for high resolution image
  • Connects to LCDTV and enjoy great quality picture and movies
  • HDMI interface offers digital sound
  • DVD format compatibility: DVD/VCD/CD/CD+G/JPEG

The only reason the Iview doesn't get a 5-star rating from me is that there no manual tray eject or retract on the unit. If you want to get a disk out to return to... say Netflix; you have to get your remote from wherever you last left it.

I tried this because the dimensions claimed it was only 1.5 inches high, and I needed it to fit under one side of my LCD TV. The web site dimensions are simply wrong. I measured 2 inches high. I'm returning it and getting a Sony (after verifying its dimensions from the Sony manual).

As for its operation, I did plug it in and try it. It looked ok on my 1080p TV through the HDMI output, but I noticed a "glaring" problem: the disc drawer is illuminated with blindingly bright blue light. Searching through the set-up menus, I found no way to turn off the light. What were they thinking? You can't hide the front of the unit from your line of sight if you want the remote to work.

Oh yeah, speaking of the disc drawer, it is surprisingly flimsy.

This is not the DVD player you're looking for. Move along.

It took me a few days too long to figure out how to get this thing hooked up and running, or I would return it.

It's nice and small, and seems to work fine, for what it is. I just wanted something that doesn't take up much room, that I could play karaoke CD+Gs on. It does that. The sound quality just is not good, to my sensitive ears. Most people probably wouldn't mind...

It seems to just not pick up very many of the sounds that are on the CD. Discs that sounded pretty darn good and rich on any freestanding karaoke machine (or in my stereo) sound loose and disjointed and spare and slightly out-of-time on this little machine.
