Digitrex CFD1571 15.6″ HD Ready LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player

Any idea where I can find a manual for DIGITREX CFD2271 ?

Hi Paul

You could try Digitrex themselves or maybe this website:

i have never come across a tv that is so hard to tune in! i have a sky arial that come from the main box to this tv, yet i cant seem to tune it in at all. all the instructions keep telling you to do is go to 1st time set up! why is it so hard?

Hi Nick

Isn’t there a SCART connection that you can use from the Sky Box to the TV?

Just bought the Digitrex CFD1571 15.6″ HD Ready LCD TV from Currys, plus a discount (£20 from £31.99) warranty for three years . So far, this is a great set. The only drawback is that there is a bit of delay from switching channels (1 secs). Otherwise, everything is great …

Thanks for the feedback WM. Hope you enjoy the TV

Hi, i purchased the digitrex cfd1571 on 15th Dec 09 as a xmas gift for my 9year old daughter(from father xmas). after watching 1 dvd the sound started to go off for about 3 seconds. i know this because i sat and watched a full movie with her and noticed this, it happened about 8 times throughout the film (108 mins).there is nothing wrong with the dvd as we watch it on other players in our home. It also does it with all other dvds we have played on it.
I returned it to Currys where they exchanged it for me. very good. when i asked about a refund they told my my 14days are up this being Dec 30th. no prob i said and returned home with second tv, set up for my daughter, who was most upset about Father Christmas leaving faulty items.
well yesterday Jan 1st 2010 guess what, yes it started playing up again same problem the sound.Now i know i can return and get an exchange, but i also know i cant get a refund. Now my daughter is most upset with father xmas. What if the next one does the same, where do i stand for a refund, yours Chris.

Hi Chris

What a shame.

I’m no expert but I think you should be able to get a full refund under your consumer rights.

All the best

just bought the tv and tuned it in but cannot find the sky chanel. The tv is in the kitchen so I have a tvlink thing and eye - please help as it is driving me mad that I cannot get sky!! Thank you

Hi Di

Did Sky work over the TV link before or is this the first time you have tried to do that? We just need to narrow down whether it’s the TV or the tvlink that’s the problem.

Maybe try and get it working connected directly to the Sky box first and then introduct the link after you know that is working.

Hope this helps & good luck.

All the best

Richard

Hi Richard - thank you for the prompt reply! No its not the first time - I bought the Digitrex from Currys to replace an old tv. So took new one out of box, put in aerial/tv link and switched on, pressed install and search buttons etc - have all the pther channels but no sky! Di

Hi Di

Have you tried manually tuning into the Sky frequency? Normally the tuners have both an auto search and a manual tuning option. It may be that it has found a channel close by instead of Sky.

Try turning the Sky box on and then using the manual tune option to see if you can find it.

Good Luck

Richard

Richard,
I wonder if you could help me. I have just bought this telly for my son and fitted it to his bedroom wall. If we are not perfectly in front of the telly then the screen goes negative, and then black depending on the angle. I know i should not get a perfect picture if viewing from the side, however this is just a slight move off centre. I have another flat screen in mine and the wifes bedroom and we do not have this sort of problem.

Hi just bought a digitrex CFD1571 from a currys store in ipswich that is closing down …put a dvd in and the sound keeps cutting out ..tried several others and the same thing..so i phoned shop and they said i have to take it to another store outside ipswich ..and ..wait for it..there is no guarantee that i will get my money back!!..i bought it on 9th of january 2010…yesterday!..after reading the comments from chris on 2/1/2010 i thought this news should be in the public domain…many thanks Tony

Hi Kessy B

You should be able to see the screen from different angles. What is it like if you take it down and try it in different positions. Is it still the same?

I guess you could also look at a demo model in a store just to confirm that they are not all like that.

It sounds to me like a fault and that you may have to exchange it.

All the best

Richard

Hi Tony

I’m afraid you are about the 4th person who has complained of this sound problem when playing DVDs on a Digitrex.

I think there must be a faulty batch and so I would take it back and exchange it for another one.

All the best

Richard

Hi,

I purchased the above for my daughter and am not able to tune in any channels. We purchased a “show” version that worked fine in the shop but when trying to connect via a normal telly aerial found it doesnt pick up any channels and also via a scart lead ( Sky connection) it doesnt work either. Do i need to take it back to the shop or could you please advise. I dont really want to have to pay for an aerial tech to come out and check the aerial !!
Help!
Thanks

Angela

Hi Angela

If you know your aerial connection is good and the scart doesn’t work either it does sound like a problem with the tuner in the TV.

I would take it back to the shop in the first instance.

All the best

Richard

Just bought the cfd1571 and am missing channels 3, 4, 5, on alllists anyone able to advise where to find them?

hi I bought a digitrex cfd1571 for my wifes xmas and we cant get it tuned in. went to cuurys and theman sold me a digital amplified arieal(outside) to which i still cant get any signal with it . i hhave tried other tv on same ariel and the picture is perfect please can you help

Hi Davie

I would get a refund on the aerial amplifier as it sounds like you didn’t need that.

Try doing the initial (first time) install over again and make sure you have saved all of your channels - and if this doesn’t work then I would return the TV to Currys as it sounds like it could be a fault with it’s tuner.

All the best

Richard

How can I get this new TV-DVD to play my old video tapes, it doesn’t seem to recognise any video signal…..

Hi AD

Either through the video socket or the SCART. Try 1st time installation again with your video recorder connected and playing something - and make sure you save your settings if it finds the VCR.

If not then there may be a problem with the tuner on your TV as a few other people have been experiencing this. In this case I would take it back to the retailer.

All the best

Richard

Well so far the reviews point to this not being a good buy - probably its cheap for a reason! So I have decided to carry on looking.

Have purchased DIGITREX T.v. CFD 1571.
Need code for the remote to key in sky rev 6 remote.
Anyone know???

I am thinking of buying this tv for my boat, does anybody know if it could be connected to 12v supply instead of 220v?

i bought this digitex for my daughter and we cant get the Playstation 2 to work on it, tried it with the scart and without just plugging in the relevant colours etc’ yellow red white plugs - no sound no pictures no nothing. any advice would be thankfully recieved.

Hi

It may be faulty as a number of our redaers have had problems

Cheers

Richard

i read on another forum somewhere that i may need some different leads ! do you know if that is so ? i only have the ones that came with the PS2 - that’s the yellow, red, white plug/socket ones. thanks.

I just purchased adigitrex cfd 1571, everything is fine except the one thing. After scanning on digital ariel, the bbc chammel numbers are ok at 001,002, but itv, 4 and five are allover the place. itv is number 800 so how do I change it to 003 and others to suit. Thanks

This TV is a dissapointment, first one had three dead/active pixels and sound drop out problem, exchanged it in store for a new one. Replacement has no pixel problems but sound still drops out. Seems to do it when watching DVDs mostly but also using external DVD player and Game Console. When the sound drops below a certain level the speaker seems to switch off (during a pause in dialouge for example), then will come back on when a loud sound reactivates the speaker, but usually with a slight delay. Frustrating when watching a movie during a particularly quiet scene or slow dialouge.

hi i bought a digitrex CFD1571 and i was wandering if any body new the region hack for the dvd player

Hi just baught a DIGITREX CFD1571 15.6″ HD Ready LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player for use in my motorhome ( RV ) powered with an inverter. On forst go it does not work , the power light flashing. What is the power consumption of the unit? I am using an 80watt inverter should this be enough?

I had one of these bought for xmas with the same dvd sound issue everyone keeps talking about. I took it back and they exchanged it with one from PC world (even thought they had none in stock and sent me to a store that was closed) I was hoping that it would be from a different batch so the sound would be ok. Unfortunately it isnt. Is there anything that can be done about this? With the people that got an exchange, were theirs ok? I like this tv, but Id like it to work!! Thanks

I purchased the CFD1571 yesterday but need the 4 digit code to allow the use of the supplied remote control to change the volume level on the cfd1571

i Have got a Digitrex Model CFD1571 LCD TV, And a Freeview Areia and i cant seem to set it up i have tryied everything and i cant evan get the simple channel bbc one itv channel 4 !!!! HELP !!!!!!

Hi 123456

If you read some of the other comments about the 2 Digitrex TVs we have reviewed - other people have had this problem. Try doing ‘first time’ installation again as that worked for one reader.

Are you in a good coverage area for Freeview and have you had Freeview on any other TVs before? You can check the areas where coverage is available on the Freeview website.

If you have good Freeview signal and other TVs work in your home then you can’t rule out it being a fault with the Digitrex. Try taking it back to the retailer and they can see if it works in the shop.

All the best

Richard
