Page 1 of SCAN versus YELO

Hi,
A couple of months ago I was all ready to buy the Scan DVD player, content with the excellent report it received from the mags. Then I went to a Computer Fare and was introduced to a machine made by Yelo (not sure on the spelling). This machine could do everything the Scan could do and more. In addition it gave a full playlist for MP3 format discs rather than the reported limited display on the Scan.

Is the Yelo all that this quite plauible salesman said it was or not? Should I take it with a pinch of salt? I do play a lot of MP3 discs so an enhanced playlist would be a plus but at the end of the day it`s the DVD quality and features which matter.

I`ve read all the comments here and the very latest Scan does sound to be an good product. The only mention of Yelo is an entry suggesting thats it`s now withdrawn anyway as a result of quality control problems?

I rarely watch a video all the way through now due to dozing off so didn`t intend breaking the £225 barrier for a budget DVD.

Any help greatly appreciated, Cheers.

Like many others here, I rushed to buy the Yelo 800 from InterDVD.

Yes. It was a superb MP3 player. Even better than the Mico as it could pause and fast forward/reverse through the songs.
The Mico shows the song/directory as a number.

Also, as you point out it has an explorer style interface able to show the first 11 characters of the file.

Unfortunately the picture quality was the pits (THE WORST EVER???). So bad in fact that Yelo recalled them!!! Their reliabilty also came under some criticism.

SCAN as had a similar reputation in the past, but things look like they are improving!

IGNORE ALL REVIEW MAGS. READ THE FACTS HERE FROM ACTUAL BUYERS.

Consider MiCO A980/LG 3350E/Wharfedale 750 BUT NEVER A YELO!!!

Can`t comment on the Yelo, but I have recently bought one of the new-specification Scan players and I think it is a great machine. Only displays about 8 characters of the MP3 titles though. Audio playback quality is very good.

Carrot,
Thanks very much for your advice.
I`ll avoid the Yelo like the plague!!

Microstar,
Thanks very much for your advice, it`s looking like a Scan but I`ll check out Carrots suggestions too.
Cheers

We are working on long file names on the mp3 part.When the firmware
is avialable you can upgrade it by cd.

Thanks for that Nelley. If you can do that you will have a really cracking machine.

Bought a Yelo, sound good picture pants.
Got a full refund.
Got a Pioneer, `nuff said.
