I am considering buying the Sony DAV-S500 DVD System from Link online, it comes with a Paragon multi region upgrade included. Does anyone have any experience of this m/r upgrade or of buying from Link Online?

Other optionms seem to be buying from Home Cinema Heaven or Techtronics.com - similar upgrades but are these sites reliable?

Would appreciate any comments from previous customers - good or bad!

Cheers

Richard

I've personally ordered 3 dvd players from techtronics only time i had problems when someone nicked one of them from the delivery company, although they resent order straight away
You will no doubt here different from other people as things do go wrong, but i would definately use them again

I've got a Paragon upgrade from the Link guys on my Sony DVD player , although I can't comment on their delivery service as I drove up to Northampton to collect from them.

The upgrade does everything they say it does - 'manual' multi-region selection (which has no problems with RCE - I have The Patriot and it plays fine), "unlocking" the copyright notices so you can skip them, disabling Macrovision (not that I use this feature!), and I have never had any problems with it at all.

Hope this helps.

Had my Pioneer 717 from Techtronics for ages (must be about 2 years now) - can't fault their service, the player or the region mod in any way. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

You can also talk to their sales staff via their website.
