Sometime earlier, we had reviewed the Mitashi DivX-555 player. Now, Mitashi has launched a sibling, the DivX-999. It is similar to the earlier launch but looks much sleeker and has a tray-less slot design. Yes, instead of a tray coming out of the player, you will have to insert
the disc into the player. It plays DVDs, Audio CDs, Video-CDs, MP3 and WMA CDs and DivX and XviD movies and more. Regrettably, though, not WMV files. Build quality is good, although the remote looks tacky and the laminated keypad plastic soon starts coming off. The remote provides all functions to control the player. Playback quality is good and setup and menu is intuitive. DivX and XviD playback is good, but if the movie confronts higher bit-rates for a MPEG 4 movie, it starts framing. DVD and Audio CD playback, though, is impeccable and yes, it does play HD-CD’s. The player offers 5.1-channel audio using analogue as well as digital connec-tivity options. Overall, this is a good all-round player and the player is region-free, which will let you play DVD’s from anywhere without a hitch.
