Thanks again, mate

RE: DVDs that have an mp3 listing (on tv)

Thanks for that, so there`s at least 2 other options, & one with a 3 year guarantee, to boot. Good ol` Walmart!

Wayne, really interested in the ASDA dvd. It seems to do all I want for an mp3 player, I`ll probably use it most as a cd player. I guess all dvd players are different, how would you rate the cd/mp3 quality?

Excuse my ignorance, but could I listen thro the tv speakers OR hifi speakers?

RE: Philips 8cm CD MP3 Player for £30 at Amazon - Bargain!

Being a bit of a cheapskate myself - anyone know if this jobbie be plugged into a car cassette player with one of those converter kits?

DVDs that have an mp3 listing (on tv)

I want to buy a DVD that not only plays mp3`s, but shows the listing on screen (tv). Anyone know if any cheapish DVD offers it other than the Sony DVPNS305 (who call the facility an mp3 browser)?

I`m about to buy a new Philips tv, and thought a Philips dvd would be best. Same remote? Easier connections? Compatible? Or is the same make not important?

Thanks, Chris

Sorry, this is not an answer, just another question...

General questions re DVD/receiver prior to purchase

My, oh my, its all changed since the 70`s when I`d wander down Tottenham Court Rd, pop into Laskys, and knew whats what!

Its time for me to get up to date, but I`m confused. I`ve done my damndest to read up, I`ve wandered into Richer Sounds (& wandered straight out again!)

I want to buy 3 things, starting with a digital 28" TV. As the last Sony has lasted 22 years, I`ve talked myself into a Sony KD28DX40. It has virtual Dolby + Freeview digital tv & radio. Mind you, trying to puzzle out how this differs from the KD28DX40 has made me grey even more, so...
Question 1) anyone know the difference?.

I`m no sound purist so I want a DVD mainly to play MP3`s. I thought I`d go for a Sony DVPNS305 (£120 at Richer Sounds + £20 for multi regional). I don`t think I`m too fussed about USA dvd`s, but ...
Question 2) is there a `hack` (its got to be easy) for the Region 2 one?

If you`re not fed up with me yet...

Being used to Quadrasound in the 70`s, Virtual Dolby Surround sound is ok for me, I don`t want 5+ speakers. But, I`d lke to use my 2 existing external speakers when listening to music. And I`d like to get radio.
Question 3) Am I right in thinking I need a receiver (aka home cinema?) to do this?

Question 4) Could I finally connect up the Video I already have, thereby ending up with a system comprising of:- a digtal surround sound tv, 2 external speakers (optional), a dvd and a video?

Please don`t make me get my walking stick out again for another wander into Cheaper Sounds. Thanks for any help.
