By the way, can you please give me some information about the system. I would have thought that you would have had it for a while now so can you please inform me if you are happy with the product......... I am considering purchasing a similar technics hifi (SC-DV250 - which is the 170`s successor) and would like to know if you would recommend your system to others....... Is the DVD playback good? Have you encountered any DVD discs that don`t play in the system?

thanks for the info i shall check this out,
yes i am very happy with this product but i have only had it about 7 months, i have not yet encountered any disk that i could not play i think the only thing that i am diappointed with was the fact that it did not included a separet (dont think that is spelt right) Sub-Woofer although it has a built in Digital Sub Woofer which is very good and has the port in the back able to take one should you want one , as would i recommend anyone to buy one then yes i would.
Could you rell me if it is worth spending 200 pound on a Sub Woofer as i have seen on in Riche Sounds that i like and was going to buy would it be worth adding it to this system, i thionk it would but would like your input
many thanks phil

I thank you for your comments on the system.
With my current stereo (a crappy Aiwa) I have got a seperate sub woofer which REALLY lifts the bass. The body of the sound also feels a lot richer and I don`t think that I could go back to a system without a good bass on it. The Technics system (like you said) does already have bass on the main speakers, which is why I am thinking about purchasing it.
If you can afford a sub then I would recommend that you get one - but you should really go and listen to the impact that the sub will have before you buy it. I would have thought that Richer sounds would be able to give you a demonstration.
Do you know if the sub output works for everything or is it just for DVD`s? If you listen to a lot of CD`s, radio, Video input, etc. and the sub doesn`t work with them then you will have to weigh up whether it is worth getting one just for films. I am sure that you could find a slightly cheaper one if it can only be used for films. If however you can use the sub for everything then I would suggest that you get one as it really does lift the output of the sound, and adds that extra body to it.
Hope that this helps.

I know you are pleased with your Technics player, hopefully i will also when it arrives, did you actually manage to have it coverted into multi region and which company did you use? Also sorry to interogate, how long did they have the player for?
