Fireplace XL

Received Fireplace DVD today and was able to play it. I love it. Thanks so much for helping me—much appreciated. Have a good Christmas.

— Robert Latzer, Canada

Great picture on my Sharp Aquos. No shifting views or zooming—just a great looking fire. Choose crackling fire, music, or both; many scenes and a looping feature to replay your favorite. Wonderful DVD!

— C. Holloway, Baconton, GA

Very impressive. Looks great on my Panasonic 50" plasma.

— K. White, U.K.

Exactly what I wanted for a cozy, relaxing ambience during dark winter months. Looping is seamless; either replay one fire or play all three in sequence. I haven’t watched TV since—just the calming sounds and glow. Bought three more as gifts.

— Kim Wilson, BMW Group, Westminster, London

No chimney in our barn conversion—this is the next best thing. Long run times, sharp picture, framing is just right. I prefer the “with music” setting for guests—chilled, non-intrusive background. Funny effect: the room even feels warmer!

— Amazon Customer (U.K.)

I own two other fireplace DVDs—thought they were nice until I tried this. Fires look like close-up natural fires; mellow music is spectacular. My favorite slowed-down first fire literally relaxes me. Highly recommended.

— Jazzybee

Looks and sounds great with just fire sounds. Fits large flat screen perfectly.

— B. A. Carter, Isle of Anglesey

Lovely warm feeling in cold weather. Logs actually burn down—very realistic.

— Amazon Customer, U.K.

Perfect for Christmas day—kept the focus off a blank TV. Seamless loops, easy options for music or crackling. Felt warm and toasty with the heating off!

— Mrs. Catriona MM Paterson

Looks great—you can almost feel the heat it gives off.

Adds ambience to cold South Australia evenings—pair with a Barossa red and enjoy.

Elevated our lounge into a cozy reading space—ideal when friends are over.

— Kompani, Hertford, U.K.

Simple to use for my parents; they resume the same fire anytime and prefer crackling over music.

— John Woolfrey, Canada

Detailed Usage NoteLongform

I’m thrilled with my Fire Ambient DVD. On a widescreen TV it’s almost as good as a real hearth—realistic progression, great sound, and different moods from gas flames to campfire with crickets. The psychological warmth is real, and guests love it. I’ll be gifting this.

— John Woolfrey, Canada

Nice way to enjoy a roaring fire in a warm climate without overheating.

— Cheri

Guest bedroom needed a calming, warming effect—this did it. Professional photography, seamless looping, and a wonderful cabin scene with natural sound.

Adds Hearth to a Boat

We missed the warmth and glow after moving aboard. Fireplace XL (1080p) + radiant heater = convincing hearth vibe. Outstanding customer service and quality. Also amazed by the Tropical Reef DVD—no maintenance, all wonder.

Perfect companion at −40 outside—just like my real wood fireplace back in the country.
