Expert review by : Don Bradbury (practicalpc.co.uk)

Review: Mustek PVR-A1

 

Don Bradbury tries out an inexpensive Personal Media Center

Price

Insufficient memory; basic manual

At the price, the Mustek PVR-A1 is a reasonable buy. It's decently comprehensive in terms of media coverage, and it comes with all the leads and attachments you need, together with a neat case. The build quality is adequate, and the multi-language...

PVR-A1 4 kids

 

The bottom line: Unless you're ready and willing to spend $00+ on a Personal Media Center (the gold standard) and want to play portable video and audio - and can live with the limitations - the Mustek PVR-A1 32 is a great choice. Perfect for young kids...

Good quality TFT screen, video playback, support for larger SD cards

Awkward UI, poor bundled software, weak manufacturing and design

PVR is good value for the money.

 

I bought the PVR mainly to watch DVD & pre-recorded videos while doing the stairmaster at the gym. Let me start by saying that I paid $129 for the PVR and about $50 for a 1 GB SD Card. The video player works great and is substantially cheaper than ...

For the Price... Not too shabby

 

Of course there are the drawbacks that everyone has discovered: Poor documentation regarding the video recorder (remember TV Out), the battery door is flimsy, controls are sluggish, on board memory is quite low. Really, what can you do with 32MB? Sound...

Price, expandable memory, multiple functions, overall sturdiness, decent screen

limited on board memory, flimsy battery door, poor quality voice recording
