Two weeks ago the Magnavox NB500MG9 started being sold and its low $300 price has definitely made an impact on the market. We all know that it is not the best player out there but aparently people are not exactly looking for the best, they want something affordable that will do the job! That’s the main reason for this player’s success. We have been getting many questions about its features and capabilities but up to now (with the exception of those who bought the player) you could not find much information about the NB500MG9 on the web. Today we were able to download the owner’s manual from Funai and decided to post it here for you!

You can get all the info about this Magnavox NB500MG9 here!

Enjoy! This will help you make an educated purchase…

MagnaVox started selling a 1.1 profile Blu-ray player for 298 bucks, which has been spotted at Wal-Mart. This is definitely the cheapest option out there…Is this what many people have been waiting for to take the plunge and invest on a Blu-ray player? Maybe… MagnaVox is a second tier brand from Phillips but this player has been manufactured by the Japanese Funai, which also makes a few products for Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Sharp, Denon and others. Also hitting the market is the Sylvania NB500SL9, which can be pre-ordered at amazon.com at an affordable price of $349.99. This Sylvania player is also manufactured by Funai and basically the same as the MagnaVox NB500MG9, only different brand. If you are looking for a “entry level” stand-alone player, these two are a great affordable option but think twice if you are looking for more performance, you are still better off with a Playstation3!
