Actron Portable DVD player from Scan - opinions

Brevilo (Harmless) posted this on Friday, 20th February 2004, 20:25

Has anybody purchased the Actron Portable DVD player from Scan, or know any details about this player such as TFT quality etc? Do you know of any reviews?

I have found the same player as the Actron PD710, Actron AE P-710 and the BBK DL333.

I have a feeling that this may be related to either the cyberhome or mustek machines but am not entirely sure.

Any info on this player would be much appreciated as the spec looks pretty good.

On further inspection and looking round www.globalsources.com I`m pretty sure this is not related to the cyberhome portables (which are actually made by CIS) or the Mustek, and is in fact manufactured by BBK.

Still any info on this dvd player would be greatly appreciated

I would be inclined to agree as it bares no resemblence to any of the CH portables or its derivatives.

The reason I was looking at this player was that I could only find the cyberhome 710 etc for £250+ (am not keen on the Mustek or AMW/Ronin) when I was looking at spending around £200.

Just been on Novatech and they had 1 Arrgo left so I have got that at a total of £216. Am still interested in details of the Actron though just incase there are problems with the Arrgo.

I also found out the Arrgo isn`t a manufacturer it is a brand, and this player is actually a `CIS Arrgo` for those interested..
