Ripspeed DVD player

I've heard they're alot of problems with them. Never even come into my mind to ever buy one. IMO needs to stick to branded names for stuff like that

It annoys me that there isnt actually a stop button on it.

For the price i dont think you can beat it, cd-dvd-radio-sd card reader. Those same functions from a named brand would be around three times the price.

Swings and roundabouts.

in fairness you cant expect everything you want from any product, good example is the iphone, no matter how good it is there are thousands of people complaining about it
i sell these headunits regulary, very good for a hundred quid, we have had a bit of trouble with them but the good thing is that you still get a years guarantee, same you get with units 10 times its price, and your covered for any minor fault (i could go on, lol), the 722 had all the functions but its silver fascia wasnt that attractive tho the black 730 looks very JVC exad and has a few extras, its attracting a lot of attention these days
as for controls on the unit, for all dvd players the actual controls on the unit is very limited, so the remote will have a stop button, pause is near the exact same function in terms of a cd anyway
but i doubt you can change the backround, ive never seen this done, i will test of the pioneer and alpine units so see if its even possible on them some time
njoy the unit

what is the differnce between them cause i have the cacky grey one

well apart from look, my personal opinion is that the black one looks well sleek and actually looks well in a dash instead of the silver one sticking out like a sore thumb
from memory i think the extras are an SD card reader and an auxilary in plus they fixed reoccuring problems that occured with the grey 722 model

the bastards at the shop told me there was no difference! i want to complain lol

I used to work at Halfords and honestly couldnt find any issues with the DVD Stereo. Got very hot admittedly, but worked a treat, never had to many come back.

Good for a budget buyer but i would recommend JVC anyday of the week.

Thanks All

I got mine from halfords about 2 weekes ago now. The silver one was £20 cheaper than the black one,and which has already been said, you do get an SD card reader and aux in. So there a difference between the two.

Has anyone hooked a sub to it?

If so which model as i am looking to get one installed?

I cannot seem to find any info on subs being attached to it as on Halfords website it doesnt say how many pre-outs it has (being them gold plated or 24v) only has info on 1 AV connector so I cant say.

I would expect it to have 1 at least but I would have to look at 1.

Thankies

yea it does have a pre out, i think its the standard two phonos and a remote, it has quite a lot of connectors on the back, quite a nightmare when fitting them

apart from looks the sd reader and aux in is the big differences so complain, you may get an upgrade

im not sure about the quality of the pre-out, like the most expensive dv920 flip out 7" has only one preout, which is one single phono adpater, which has to be then split by y-splitter at the amp, or it can be run off rear speaker phonos but aparently not as good sound quality

any sub will work, the only trouble ive got with these units is that the seem to magnify the need for good earth on amps, weird but true

when i get time il go to the store and complain. But my sis boyfriend cut the wire so that it plays while im driving ...

i do that when fitting them anyway, theyre a total nightmare if you dont do that so im sure that the halfords people would of done the same if they fitted it
just try your luck, generally if theyre not a stubborn git they give in to save the possibility of a complaint

theyd be more expensive but at least you know they would work,

the other day the cd player would not work and the screen went blank! its ****ing up already

:b ang:

just went in halfords to complain about it! The manager was out to lunch! Its not like i can just wait around all day i have to work 2 lol.

Anyway a guy said he will refund it but wont do anything else and thats when i wanted to complain.

IM SO ANNOYED!!!!!
