Excerpts from the test

Picture:
“It is sensational: Xoro HSD 8500 boasts not only the best picture quality among all the tested DVD- players, but also gets ahead of the rivals due to its outstanding good technical features. The player realizes picture of unusual sharp, clear quality.”
“Right after switching-on via 720p/HDMI Xoro HSD 8500 showed the best performance we have ever seen from a 199€- player.  Its crystal- clear picture made the opening battle scene from “Star Wars Episode III” to a great experience! This astonishing deep black colour, that Xoro offers, was recently possible to get only in 800€ category. All visual and technical effects, all masks, every detail of star battles was seen, no matter, how murky the colours in the background were, no matter how quickly the images were moving! One could see even the skin pores of Anakin, sitting in the cockpit of his starship.”
“As we tested the picture quality of new Xoro DVD player with “Troy” and “I, robot” - it convinced us anew with its sharp, vivid and complex performance. Even Pioneer DV-696 AV doesn´  t offer such saturated colours as those of Xoro in “Star Wars Episode II”.”
“It is unbelievable, what contrast Xoro HSD 8500 delivers! The picture is excellent in dark fields, as well as in light ones. Xoro provides every detail of the image so that it looks really tangible.”
“One of the further advantages of this new Xoro model is, that in both connectivity kinds (Scart - RGB and YUV) an excellent picture is showed. The component picture is performed very detailed and in high contrast. Due to this feature Xoro HSD 8500 goes ahead of its rivals. Even well-known brand Denon DVD- 1730, that has been our recommendation before, doesn´ t provide such crystal- clear picture like Xoro´ s new- comer.”
“Our overall score is “excellent” for performed picture quality – a great success for Xoro!”
Sound quality:
“The results of this sound test are very impressive. The well- thought interior bodywork supports development of fresh and clear digital sound. With aid of digital input Xoro HSD 8500 offers options, that, as a rule, are not supported by majority of devices in this price category. Connected via analogue input, the second stereo channel throws you a curve with its solid and good performance.”
“Our overall score is “excellent” for sound quality of Xoro HSD 8500.”
Verdict
“Due to the outstanding good picture quality Xoro HSD8500 is outshining all the existing devices and is setting new patterns. Its exterior and interior bodywork is next to be perfect! We are going to test one more device. Perhaps, Xoro HSD8500 will stay the only winner in this price category!
Xoro HSD8500 boasts of the best picture quality, we have ever seen or tested!”
