Hitachi HTD-K185    Post Date: Nov 29, 2005
Reviewer: Dave Ridge from UK - See all reviews by Dave Ridge

Review:




Freeview, DVD, FM (with RDS) tuner and home cinema in one box (6 speakers)



(http://www.hitachidigitalmedia.com/DMG/viewProduct_1.jsp?productid=419&drilldown=7&urlnumber=0)



DVB:

Tuner: seems quite sensitive compared to my Netgem box, quick to tune in.

EPG: only now and next

TUTV: no

RF loopthrough (no modulator)



DVD:

CD, MP3, vcd and photo CD compatible (only tried vcd & dvd so far)

Disappointing aspect is lack of disc memory (even the 1 disc memory is very time limited)



FM tuner:

Not tried so far.



Digital outputs (coax & optical), s-video out plus AV inputs.

I have to admit that I haven't connected any speakers up for sound quality!.



Niggles:

Remote has short range, poor SCART sockets makes connecting VCR difficult. Have to cycle through each function rather than direct access (eg have to be in DVD mode before drawer will open). Gets quite warm.



There are lots on Ebay (Nov 05) so if the price is right it could be a bargain but there are better ways.
