Page 1 of Fed up of waiting for comet/Aiwa370...........time to choose...advice needed.

I really wanted a Aiwa 370 but cannot wait any longer for a dvd player.
I have a shortlist of 2 but am open to any other recomendation.
My budget is £250.
1. PIONEER 530/535
2 LGL DVD 3350E

I dont want to cock up like my mate who bought a Alba .
So i have to make a good choice first time.
Any info/recomendation greatly appreciated.
Thanks.......Mall

If u really wanted an Aiwa 370, then u should go for the LG 3350e, since it`s virtually the same except for the built in Dolby Digital decoding wich the LG has and the Aiwa hasn`t and the VCD playback wich the Aiwa has and the LG hasn`t.

If u do want VCD playback and don`t need MP3 nor built in Dolby Digital decoding, then go for the Pioneer 535 or even the 530 (if u want silver).

The LG 3350e does play MP3 doesn`t it?

Anyway if you wanted the AIWA, then go for the LG3350e (just like above posting).

Its very similar to the AIWA, the stuff inside is the same, it will give the same clear picture. Its a superb machine (AIWA)

www.dabs.com are/were doing the LG 3350e for £189.00.

For the time being anyways...but Jimbo seems to be on track to enabling BOTH on BOTH machines! :o)

Honest to goodness! Just waiting for the LG rep to get his 3350 to try it with VCD before I release this "world wide" in case it doesn`t work!
(see, he can get his service boys to still repair his machine if we bugger it up! lol)

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Well guys thanks for the prompt replies.
Just 1 question.
1. what exactly is Dolby Digital decoding ?

I will be using my Rotel amplifier on my hi-fi to feed the sound through and my tv is a sharp widescreen with 3 scart sockets.(nicam).

Jimbo, what are the chances of enabling VCD on the 3350e as this is a lovely little SILVER player and would be ideal if it played VCD on CDR of course ;-))

> Just waiting for the LG rep to get his 3350 to try it with VCD. . .

That`s a little tease you dropped in there Jimbo. Would that be by using the theory from the other thread or some other method?

Has the rep come good with any more Macro info?
