Sampo DVE-631CF DVD Player with CF Reader and Photo Playback
Sampo Engineering... Astounding Ingenuity !
I got my first DVD player as a Christmas gift 3 years ago. It was an overpriced sony - the run of the mill fodder type that just played DVD's. The fast forward was a bit querky and slow, and for the price my sister payed for it definatly not worth it. <br />So, I gave her the sony back this Christmas and got myself a the Sampo DVE-631CF. Partly because I wanted something that would play my hundreds of my custom burned music CD's.<br />I decided to get this model after reading many reviews on it online and a friends reccomendation. <br />It played all my VCD's, SVCD's, XVCD's, DVD-R's, and DVD-rw's <BR>and my MP3's perfectly without a hitch! Couple that with a solod design - What more could you ask for!<br />Ohh yea.. Compact Flash reader! I wonder why anyone never thought of this before! No more plugging my Canon Digital Camera into my TV, No I can just take my digital pics and preview them through my DVD player. Very cool feature indeed!<br />To top it off the Sampo has an excellent FF/REW capabilities. I was able to due 20x FF without the picture jumping all over the place and skipping like my sony did at 4x FF.  <br />The one negative that I can find about this unit, albeit a small negative, would be the remote. Its comfortable and small <BR>but something about the button arangement just isnt doing it <BR>for me. :( But aside that its 100% PERFECT! <br />All in all I'd have to say this Sampo DVD player is an excellent addition to system and it has found it self a permanant home along with the rest of my AV equipment.
