Page 1 of Should I buy a Wharfedale 750(s)?

I am fairly new to the world of DVD and am looking for a player in the sub-£200 range that can be set to multi-region.
At the moment I am very tempted by the W750s as I`ve heard many good things about it but am still slightly unsure:
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks

No.

"No."? With a sweeping statement like that I do hope you own or have owned one.

I own one. (one of the Second gen 750S machines) and for under £200 can`t really fault it.

Sure it has some minor niggles, but for under £200 what do you expect?

It has yet failed to play a movie for me, the picture and sound are perfectly acceptable, in fact, I keep being amazed how crisp and clear it is.

The only faults I`ve found can be worked around with ease (like stopping and resuming the playback).

Yes there are better players on the market, but most of them are twice the price.

Sure I`d love a Sony 735 - but not for £500 I wouldn`t!

I know someone with one of these and although it does the job <200 quid can get you a much better player. I work for a huge electrical chain and have seen more than enough returns with this machine.

735 and 736 with full mod for 385 delivered.

AIWA 370 Destroys this statement!

Which electrical chain do you work for?

I dont work for any Electrical chain funboy!

It`s simple math

AIWA = LG3350 CLONE = C-CUBE 4.1 CHIPSET
WHARFDALE(S) = C-CUBE 3 CHIPSET

AIWA has more features and wins hands down.

I thankyou!

Yes.

750S is a great little player. Plays all my R1 discs with no problems. As for features it has all you need to play a disc. How many times do you need all the fancy stuff (window dressing).
