I got the Warfdale from Tesco... I`d heard that the 711 had a limited region 1 hack, to 25 hacks.
I have seen a review for the player though... here`s one I found earlier..........epinions.com
Pros: great video & sound quiet operation ££AWESOME PRICE££ Cons: Can`t think of one!!
Finally a great piece of electronics with mature technology and a strong name to boot! The Philips DVD 711 is a single disk player that has dual lasers for DVD & audio cd,and it`s features can be enhanced the tech from Philips told me if some new technology comes out that this player does not support, call Philips and they send you a cd you pop it in and the DVD player does the rest!! The player supports DVD, Video cd, Audio cd, DTS digital out, Trusurround, Dolby Digital. It has fiber optic & analog out for audio,it has S-video & component video for video. Component is supposedly the newest thing in video. I paid £199.99, from Circuit City the player according to Philips tech support is the newest single disk player, I have owned the player about 3 weeks and have had no problems. The player is by far the most quiet DVD I have owned compared to RCA & HITACHI. The player menu is some what complicated it has more options compared to the earlier model its` screen saver is cool!! The video is great considering I don`t have S-video or component. I could only imagine if I did have it. I do have fiber optics for sound and the DOLBY DIGITAL is awesome!! I have played a majority of my DVDs` and audio cds` with no problems!! I am extremely satisfied and that is hard to do, because I demand excellence out of all my purchases. For the price you can`t beat it because I have tried for less you get exactly that less. There are cheaper players like Samsung, Hitachi, and Oritron, but why risk it!!
Purchase Price: £199.99 Sound: Professional quality Ease of Use: The basics are easy to learn and apply Picture Quality: Sharper and crisper than real life Durability: The Best: Solid and unbreakable: it will last forever
