Shinco SDP6820 Multi Region DVD Player - review, compare prices, buy online

This is my second SDP-6820 player (the first bought 2 years ago stopped playing DVDs a couple of months ago, just stayed in loading mode all the time). I still went for the same one as it is MULTIREGION and has quite a large screen, it is shock resistant. The first one was used and operated by my children (both under 10) at home and travelled with us all over the place in cars, planes, etc. I think it did a good job for the last two years, so I bought it again.

This is my first portable player, although I have seen and used others belonging to friends, I can truly say how pleased i am with this particular player. It does everytyhing it says on the box. Picture quality is great in all formats including digital TV.I bought the Shinco freeview add-on(although not cheap)and was supprised at how easy it was to set up. using the given arial it picked up 30 stations, however this only worked in some rooms within the house. Fixing an ordinary portable TV arial solved this problem.
The player is well built with many accessories, remote control,2 pairs of ear phones etc: well designed carry case which lets you included all the extras. The case for viewing in the car is flimsey but adequate(you can always sit with it on your knee).Sound quality is only average and does sound a bit tinney via the in-built speakers, but is loud enough to hear. Using the ear phones gives a much better sound experience though.
You can buy this machine for under £126.00 on line....buy it, you wont be disappointed.

After researching portable DVD players, I opted for the Shinco sdp 6820. The sound and picture quality are above anything I could have expected. I have already told a couple of my friends they have to get one. If you are thinking of buying one, then dont look any further. These things are brilliant. However, the first machine I received had a fault on it which Shinco said it was just bad luck, I sent it back and a replacement arrived very quickly, and I could not fault this.

This is a great item but be aware that this is supplied by Allcam and not by Amazon themselves.

Allcam are a very poor retailer and you should think very carefully about placing an order with them, even through Amazon.

I recently tried to purchase a DVD player from Allcam. Called them up on Thursday and was told the item was in stock and would be shipped immediatly. Placed the order and made note that the item was urgent and needed by Friday if at all possible. Monday night and still no sign of the player or any communication from Allcam. Rang them up on Tues and was told that there had been a problem with my payment (which as they had taken payment on Thurs there clearly hadnt been!) but no one bothered to call or email me. They then told me that they didnt actually have any stock so could not ship the item out anyway. When I told them that I was very unhappy with the dismal service and would be placing a comment on the Amazon website they threatened to get their lawers on to me!

Think carefully about using this supplier - you have been warned.
