Koss DVP2161 Compact DVD with MP3/CD Player
Koss DVP2161 DVD Player Review
This is an excellent affordable multi format audio and video compact DVD player with only some minor compromises. In my opinion, at this current stage of electronics, It's an one of a kind DVD player in It's class. I had recently purchased a new Toshiba DVD player with mp3 and multi format video playback... but there was something intriging about the compact Koss brand...  I had to test It's capabilities against the Toshiba's. The Toshiba model played back the standard mp3 and vcd format, but I discovered that the Koss model would not only play standard formats, it also played raw data mp3,vcd and dvd backups in which the toshiba could not read. Both players have good video and sound outputs as well as nice control features such as 4x zooming. I've also looked at other brands in different electronic stores with the same basic features in the same price range; but overall I was sold on the Koss. The only minor flaw I would point out, because of its compacted size, it should have an internal cooling fan to ventilate circuitry like the PS2; which I want to inform will only read standard formatted disks; unless modified with a special chip. It also seems that this particular Koss model is a hard to find item in just any electronics store.... Despite It's minor flaws ,It's a very nice DVD Player. If they only made one that had a flip top screen that included a car kit, a cooling fan and game playing capabilites it would be perfect!
