Proson DVD2002DTS

[Linus]

Does anyone have any experience with this player?

Can´t find any info about it on this site yet.. the only thing I could find was http://www.factory.falkenberg.net/show_prod.php3?prodid=386..
Claims to be playing SVCD and should be easy to region hack.
It´s available for $200 at Siba in Sweden.

Anyone who has it and can tell some good/bad features?

Well.. I didn´t have the time to wait for any response here, I just bought it.. Here´s my review after 15mins testing..

Good
- Plays VCDs/SVCDs w/o probs, FFW works x2,x4,x6,x8. Tested a 45min SVCD and it played the end.
- Came regionfree from the store, worked fine with what I had to test it with (Reg 1 & 2). I also saw some remote control hack somewhere.
- Nice slow motion mode 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8
- Is supposed to be SW upgradeable (via CD?)
- DTS (haven´t tested though)

Bad
- MP3 titles shows only 8 characthers.
- Both HW and SW Looks/feels cheap (and it was 8)!)
- We couldn´t get random MP3 playin to work.

I think this might be a good 1st player for my little brother who might not care so much of how it looks, only that SVCDs works ...basic!
