Default Cheapish multi-region dvd player

Has anybody got any recommendations for a relatively cheap multi region dvd player, doesnt have to be a particular brand just looking for a decent price really.. oh and if it could play DVD-R discs made on my panasonic DMRHS2 dvd recorder that would be a bonus too

Cheers

i recommend the Pacific 1002 sold in Asda for £40. Myself and a few mates at work have these and they play everything thrown at them. Apparently the 3 year warranty is no more due to too many people abusing it.
