RE: Pay through the nose for region 2? or buy region 1?

Hi all
Thanks for your interest.

Yes I definately am thinking of selling them as a business later on in the year, especially now I have sorted some decent players that might work over here.
I would gladly post a link but I am not buying them from a website. I know somebody in the U.S and have been sorting things out on the phone.

As i said earlier, if anyone is interested I will make a webpage with the info on and prices, I just want to make sure I know everything about the players first. (It would be no good saying I can get them and they dont work properly would it?)

Let me know what you think.

RE: Pay through the nose for region 2? or buy region 1?

I will have to confirm this when my DVD player comes, but i have just found out that the in dash player i am getting is region free and will play all discs.
If this is true then i make a website with prices and more info and post links to it on here.

If anybody is interested then let me know.

Look around. I did. Do you think that`s a good price then? Will other people want to buy them? I thought it was just me.

If anyone is interested in having in car dvd stuff I bought my screens for a very reasonable price too.

Hi Richard
I already have several R1 dvd`s now because i changed my dvd rom to R1 aswell. I also have an in dash remote control dvd player coming anytime soon that i paid £176.00 for including shipping.

Now if i can only find someone who can change the region on these players then i can pass these great deals onto you guys.

Just one question
Does this Dansia 852 fit in your car dashboard?

Pay through the nose for region 2? or buy region 1?

Has anybody got any thoughts on this subject? Please let me know.

I have been looking around for a while for a car in dash DVD player. U.K region 2 players over here retail at £500 minimum while i can buy a better (in my opinion) region 1 player with remote etc for under £200.

Now i know what your thinking.....I can`t play discs bought from a shop over here right?
But i can buy region 1 DVD`s and get them delivered within 2 days from sites such as play.com etc.

Now I think i`m going to go for it and buy the region 1 player but it all sounds too easy to me so could anyone please let me know their thoughts on the matter.

(by the way the screens i am using are ntsc/pal so they will work with either)

Thanks

Any help and advice about converting region 1 players needed

Can anyone please help?
Any information of any kind would be most appreciated.

I have the opportunity to import region 1 in car dvd players from america. The only problem is changing them to play region 2 discs. Below is a list of some of the players i can get. If anyone can help or has even a little information it would be most appreciated. Or if anyone in the south Lincolnshire region thinks they can do anything then i would be willing to trade on a regular basis.

List of players -
1/ Necvox in dash dvd/vcd/cd player.....manufacturer No - DVA 310X (i have seen this advertised without the X on the end aswell)
auto ntsc/pal detection

2/ Blaupunkt boot mount dvd/cd/mp3 player.....manufacturer No - DVD ME 1
