H & B 4421 |
|||
H & B has launched a new model for the budget DVD player market with the H & B 4421 Black Multi-region DVD Player. Its a well-built machine in a matt black finish and offers "out of the box" multi-region playback, Dolby Digital, DTS and MP3 audio support. In comparison to the super-slim H & B DVD-5415S Multi-region DVD Player the H & B 4421 has no karaoke functionality or metal facia but has lots of other features, including audio CD and Video CD playback. The on-screen menu system is very intuitive and the player is very easy to set up. Simply plug the H & B 4421 into your TV with the supplied RGB SCART cable, switch channels on your TV and switch on the DVD player. If you are plugging the player into a Dolby Digital or DTS amplifier, the on-screen menus allow you to set up the audio options and can even perform an audio test to check that all your speakers are performing as they should be. On the front of the H & B 4421 there are the standard play/pause, stop, skip, search and eject buttons including a large LED display. Around the back youll find the regular video connectors (SCART, SVHS and RCA Composite) as well as optical, coaxial and Dolby Digital audio sockets. The supplied remote control features all of the buttons you would expect to find on a DVD remote control and some of the lesser used buttons are hidden under a facia that slides down. But what about DVD playback? Well, you'll be pleased to hear that the H & B 4421 performs very well. The colours are bright and the picture is as sharp as a blade. The quality isnt up there with the high-end players but for the budget price you wouldnt expect it to. The audio is very powerful and when connected to a suitable amplifier it will annoy the neighbours. The H & B 4421 had no problems playing UK and US discs and region selection is automatic - so no menus to scroll through to set the DVD player up. It0 will also play RCE encoded region one discs with no problems whatsoever. MP3 playback is good - just pop in a CDR with some MP3 files on them and the H & B 4421 will automatically play them. The H & B 4421 is a good entry-level DVD player that looks and performs like some of its more expensive brethren. It may be lacking in some features, but as a basic, no-frills multi-region DVD player it's well worth taking a closer look at.And if black isn't your bag, it is also available in silver: H & B 4420 Silver Multi-region DVD Player. |
