Xoro HSD 8430

The Xoro HSD 8430 not only plays DVDs it also shows photos, videos or music from a USB storage device, which it converts from your audio CDs into MP3s, and saves it on the integrated card reader on a memory card.

In addition to normal signals up to 720p or 1080i it has the HDMI connection to the TV. Thanks to HD JPEG technology, according to manufacturer you can also view high-resolution images (1920 x 1080 pixels). This feature, however, must be on the menu, and works only on the HDMI port on the device.

This is a low-priced multi-function device that the manufacturer claims is the best equipment on the market. If the equipment for works correctly they could be right but some users claim that the lack of functionality with almost all the features is unacceptable, sometimes USB devices are not recognized.

To rip audio CDs takes a long time and provides only moderately sound results. Many DVDs will not play at all, sure, the Xoro HSD 8430 is really cheap, but it seems you need some luck in finding a unit that lacks unacceptable faults.
