RE: Goodmans 3500 problem ??

I think you have been lucky, I have found that audio cdr`s are hit and miss as to wether they play or not and also I had a copy of monsters inc and put it on to cd-rw but it still dosen`t work.

RE: What are the new channels on Sky Digital???

I agree, SKY are greedy b******s. I for one will be cutting down on my subs.

RE: GOODMANS DVD3500PK

What make of CD-R seems to work on yours?

RE: GOODMANS DVD3500PK

I bought one from comet last week and I am well pleased with it, having said that it`s the first one I`ve had.I think the picture quality is excellent and I love the dolby digital 5.1 surround sound (when playing a Dvd recorded in that format which most are.)
As for the output from Tv Or Video, you can connect these from the twin AUX jack plug socket and set the dvd player to AUX and it will play through the speakers but only front left and right and sub-woofer.
Just a word of warning that I missed when buying this, if you have your own music recorded on Cd-R it dosen`t guarantee it will play these,some of mine do and some don`t.

RE: Grundig GDV620HT DVD / Surround sound system

Hi, I also bought the Goodmans system and would like to ask if it plays all VCD`S has I don`t think it mentions them in the manual.
Also I can play some CD-Rs (music) some Maxell with blue bottoms and Samsung with blue bottoms.At first I thought it must be the blue that was the reason but I have other makes with blue that don`t work.
I would be interested to hear what works on yours.

RE: Goodmans DVD3500 / Grundig GDV620 Problems

I looked at both these systems as there is a currys and comet next door to each other where I live, I went for the Goodmans and I am quite happy with the picture quality and there is no buzz from the sub-woofer.
I use a scart connection.
As far as the playing of CD-R, it doesn`t garantee playing them but I have found it will play some makes and not others(music) for instance it plays most that are on blue maxell(but not all) and blue samsung,these are the only makes that I have had any joy with.But I bought some other maxell today which have silver bottoms and it won`t play them.
Also I have other makes which are blue that don`t work so I have no idea why some work and others don`t.
If anyone has any ideas it would help.

RE: GOODMANS DVD3500PK

Thanks, I have bought one,as I am new to DVD could you give me some advice?
It came as a home cinema system with 5 speakers and sub-woofer and says Dolby Digital 5.1 which I thought was the latest system (taking over from pro-logic).
However after reading the instructions it also mentions DTS Digital Surround for which a decoder must be connected to the digital audio out jack.
I`m a bit confused, does this unit make use of the 6 channels without having a decoder.

I am thinking of buying the above for £200 because I`m a cheapskate, can anyone who owns one tell me what they think of it,thanks.
