I had problems with a DAB500 Music system

I bought a DAB500 Music system but had problems receiving DAB and FM stations. Technical Support were very quick to respond and incredibly helpful and patient. Unfortunately none of the suggestions they made helped as I eventually discovered DAB/FM coverage of my location is quite poor. My best option would be an internet radio. Tech Support offered me a refund which I received immediately. I will probably buy one of their internet radios as I have no doubt their products are good quality, and I'm impressed by their efficient and courteous service. My thanks to Josh & Emilyn.

I ordered the Oakcastle DVD100 from Amazon.

I ordered the Oakcastle DVD100 from Amazon. Mostly because of the price and great reviews. I had been using the ONN dvd players from WalMart with absolutely no luck. After a few weeks, they started skipping, pausing and no way to continue, not only skipping, but going from one scene to another. After spending enough time and money on these WalMart pieces of junk, I decided to try a different brand and found the Oakcastle on Amazon and decided to try it for the price. The player has great picture quality and after using it for about a month have had no issues with the player. I had some issues with the remote and contacted the seller. After giving them my purchase info from Amazon, they are sending me another remote. They were professional and had no problems with them. At this point in time I would recommend giving them a try. Can't beat it for the cost!

Following a fault with the CD component on the music centre, Oakcastle tried to help rectify but then sent a replacement which works fine.

A small fry issue for Oakcastle - but they listened

A small fry issue for Oakcastle I am sure, but they responded to my email within hours.
The advice provided was clear and effective, curing the lack of connection btewwn my remotes volume control and the soundbar.
(A soundbar which has improved the sound quality from the smal TV in my kitchen immeasurably)

I purchased an Oakcastle digital radio / cd player in December 2024 and recently had an error message appear, which meant I couldn't use it.

I contacted Oakcastle customer service and the wonderful Josh helped me sort it out. The speed, courtesy and helpfulness of his messages were impressive. I was able to follow his instructions and now have a working radio and cd player again.

I highly recommend this company for the quality of their products and the exceptional customer service.

Excellent customer service

I brought my husband an Oakcastle music system for his birthday which he has used every day. Lately the unit has been showing an error message. I emailed "Oakcastle" for assistance. The agents were polite & helpful. They quickly identified the problem and offered assistance by way of an upgrade link and step by step instructions. They checked back with us to make sure things were working correctly.
Very polite, professional staff. Can't thank them enough for all their help and support

In car CD player

I was trying to find a suitable portable CD player for my new car (they don't come with CD players any more!). Oakcastle answered all my questions about compatability and the CD 100 works great via Bluetooth now through the car's audio system. Great service, reliable and UK based.
