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

Amazon were doing one for £30 the other day.

 

mate get any new dvd and u can decode it via your remote

dougster here helped me and gave me a link and i turned my normal one into a multi region

speak to dougster

 

Try asda m8, about £45 and with 3 years warranty

 

yamada 2500 on amazon for £30. i have just bought my 3rd one for one of my friends. it has played every thing i have thrown at it including putting 4.7gig of mp3s on a blank dvd-r. plays rce discs no probs as well.

cheers

www.richersounds.co.uk - always have some great deals.

 

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.

Alba108 fro Argos about £40. Multi region out of the box and plays the dvd-r's I've put through it so far.

 

I've got one.
It plays all the MPEG's, AVI's (Div-X) etc, all your downloadable goodies from the internet - around £90ish

 

Can get an Alba DVD45 DVD Player in Argos for 29.99, hackable on its handset.
