I have been looking for a good DVD player / Home cinema system. Most out of the box packages I`ve seen don`t have a scart connection. From what I`ve picked up off the message boards SCART seems to be the best type of connection? I am now looking at buying just the DVD player first and upgrading later. I`ve seen the Tosh 220 for around £120 region 2 and £140 multi region. Is this a good player to build a system around and is it worthwhile getting a multi region player? Also any idea if the Sony HTBE1 is a good surround solution? Any help most appreciated.

But with Multi Regioning, doesn`t it mean that you may have to upgrade the Firmware at times? Especially with RCE coming out.

My good lady and I got the Tosh 220E a few months back and reckon it`s a very good machine. Don`t know if this is any help but there was a link on a posting somewhere (DVD reviewer site) that pointed to a download that "Allegedly" enabled Multi-region on the 220E. Might be s***e or even dangerous to the health of the 220E as going by other posts it seems that Tosh`s all need physical mods rather than firmware updating to enable multi region. Being a miserable Scot, I just usually wait a few months for the DVD that I fancy to come down or a 2 for 1 price deal at Play / dvd.co.u etc..

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I picked up a Tosh multi region from Richer Sounds. Had no choice in the matter as apparently no region 2 machines in stock. Haven`t tried a region 1 disc yet but the picture quality is excellent on R2. Now I need a suitable surround package. Still considering the Sony HTBE1 ( the missus likes the look of it, nice and neat ). However open to any suggestions.
