Digitex DVD player at Big-W rulez!!!

[DigitalG]

This little beuty rulez!!! same picture as pioneer 535 and plays mp3s smoothly at $98 i said why not, and never looked back :cool:

[movieenthusiast]

I agree, it is a good unit. I bought one for a relative who needed an all zone player. It does play all zones and RCE (I tested it with 3 RCE titles). A very good bargain indeed if anyone is looking for a player.

[mR_CaESaR]

do you have a model number for it?

or even better, can you tell me the outputs in the back please?

s-video? component? 5.1 analog? coax, fibre optic? etc

thnx for that dvddude, while the price is nice, i need more outputs and an onboard decoder. It would definately be good for just a very basic player.

[dvdude]

Why the onboard decoder? I always believed they weren't much to write home about.....?

[mR_CaESaR]

well you see, its only for my room and i have these 200 dollar active 5.1 speaker setup and i dont' have an amp. I do already have a dvd in my room, its just i am tempted to get the other digitrex dvd player GK705 i think, i might try to get rid of this Sansui one i have now, and get the digitrex, after all its only 165 at umart

[gwiz]

you say $98 at Big W. If that's true then I will definitaly pick one up.

can someone plz confirm.

Thx
G

[dvdude]

Confirmed.

But ring around first to make sure they have them in stock!
I have bought 2 as Chrissie presents, unfortunately one of them has a dead remote control, so I have to take it back and exchange it :(

As long as you don't need an onboard decoder, it's the shiznit! :)

[rogerebert]

Is it multi region straight out of the box. If not is the adjustment hard wire or remote? and does it play VCD?

Ok, the Digitrez GK-1020 has the following

MULTIZONE straight out of the box. No codes needed.
Plays MP3, Audio CD, DVD and VCD (tested VCD just now on a homemade copy and works perfectly).

Has Coaxial Digital out for the DD/DTS signal
Has Svideo and RCA Video Out
Has L/R Analog audio out

Does NOT have onboard DD or DTS decoding.

:D

[shintaro]

These units state they can do HDCD's.
Can anyone confirm that they have a HCD decoder?????????

Anyone tried dvd-r/+R media in one yet?

[pvt_ryan]

Where else can you buy this unit except from Big W, and is it $98 almost everywhere? I couldn't find it at my closest Big W... so I need some help and direction please. Thanks

[dvdude]

I am fairly sure NSW, VIC and QLD are all sold out.
AFAIK, Perth Big W stores still have some, so *maybe* you could get your local store to transfer one from a WA store.

I haven't seen them anywhere else but Big W, and the normal price was $98 - i.e. it wasn't a special or anything.

[pvt_ryan]

Thanks dvdude....I guess I'll wait then :)

[p wahid]

Ive seen them at Domayne here in sydney if know of it , BUT dont go there unless you have fantastic bargaining abilities or your desperate for one, they have jacked up the price to 120$odd.
What a joke!

[dvdude]

Apparently Big W at Blacktown still has stock!!!!
Got the info from dvdplaza - the guy reckoned they had over 20!

Worth a call if you're after one!
