Tech-Com SSD-DVD3100 DivX Player

Tech-Com SSD-DVD3100 DivX Player

Frazier Barretto, Jun 21, 2007 1824 hrs IST

The DivX player has been around for quite some time now but it will soon die out and get upgraded by HD-DVD/Blu-ray players. Companies like Tech-Com provide feasible options till that happens

Good Picture and Audio, Good DivX/XviD support, VGA out, Well Priced.

No WMV support, No H.264 support.

Layout

Now let's have a quick run through with the layout info about the player. The Tech-Com SSD-DVD3100 is a very elegant looking player and its slim form factor and build give you a good feeling and much more when placed on a neat TV shelf.



The player has a glossy black dash which reminds me of a hammer-head shark though, its not as scary. It seemed like there were two eyes on the dash one closed and one open like it were winking. To the left there is the power ON/OFF button of the player. Just beside it is the round control panel that has two buttons on it to jump to either the previous or next file on the disc.

Next came two knobs which are the volume controls for the each of the two MIC jacks beside it. The CD tray is placed in the centre of the dash. The tray is slim and smooth. The tray takes about 5 seconds to come out and another 5 seconds to go back in. To the right of the tray there are three buttons; Play/Pause, Stop, and Left/Right Vocal Channel. Then there is the other eye-like information pod which houses a mini-display inside it.

Finally, the last control on the dash is the tray Eject/Close button at the extreme right. All of the buttons on the dash were very firm and required a push such that the player would almost move a little out of its place.



The back panel of the player has numerous connectors. Most of these connectors comprise of audio input/output and are placed to the left of the rear. They comprise of a 5.1 channel audio out, Stereo audio Out, DVD Output (Y/Cb/Cr - Digital), Coaxial Digital audio output, Optical Digital audio output, S-Video output, and a standard Analog coaxial video output. Towards the other end is the Power Cable of the player and in the center of the player there is also a VGA port.

am surprised, have their speakers, they arent so bad, then maybe its becasue chinese stuff cant be trusted. if it works it works, if it doesnt work, then god help you. But I think if it was a reputed brand, you would have got a replacement imme.

I agree, I have also suffered with tech com. I also fell for the looks and pricing of the divx player after reading the review. now I am too far away to be able to return it. And when I called the Delhi office, a guy called Amit, said what else do you expect at this price. get it along we will see if it can be repaired, I said but its new, I don?t want any repaired, so he said, fine then suit yourself. All Chinese stuff that you buy will not necessarily work. You get it; we will see what we can do. I got so disgusted, and decided never will I buy any other product from them.

Oh ho. For so long I was thought, that I was the only one having this player which is not working. I was fed up. It worked well for 1 week. then it did not play cd also. dvd is a far off thing. now its in one corner in the original packing. anyone wants, can come and take it. its 3 months old. take it free.

i have bought this player. It is really sad.Now it refuses to work, i sent it to their mumbai off and the guy says, its working when we test it. now what the hell is the prob here. i have checked all the divx dvds which used to play earlier on it, and now they dont. And they themselves dont seem to have confidence in it. They say abhi chinese maal hai, aur kiya chahiye. Come on maan. You arent supposed to sell it if you arent sure of it. Why dump it on us? I hope techtree is properly verifying things before passing a positive judgement on it. Guys pls dont ruin your credibility because of a some unreliable product. Its not worth your reviewing time. pls boycott these low grade products. its better not to have anything than to have these pathetic products which wont last more than a month. you can get a pioneer s 393 for about 3000 rs or lesser in the grey market. and the player rocks. i trusted techcom and am regretting it bigtime.

Based on this review I purchased the DVD 3100 set. First of all, since I wanted it to replace my Philips cd player I think its doing the job as far as audio is concerned. However, here below are my complaints : 1) The Operation manual is cryptic. A normal human like me cannot understand a single instruction. I have a philips set and its manual is so clear. 2) Since I need to connect my amp to this set I do not know which jack I am to connect for a simple sterio effect. There are too many output slots in the back. Can someone tell me. 3) The review mentions that there is an Equalizer both preset and user mode. I cant for the life of me find on how and where it was. Is it just for the review or does it really exist. 4) With the cable provided I connect the red and white ends to the FL and FR jacks. That means the yellow one is not connected anywhere. When I put on the amp I get a big hum sound. Can someone tell me how this can be eliminated.
