Can anyone give me any more info about ths machine - a Kingavon DVD28 for €119 in Roches Stores, also saw in small EuroElectrical store . (Chinese import but cant find any ref to it, not Mico), they seem to do incar-DVD players. Kingavon techsupport themselves dont even who manufactures it & its not yet on their website. To describe it, its a few mm slimmer (height) than Alba108, shinier silver, bottom half of fascia sloped with buttons in straight line like the Bush 2027, but no display. All onscreen. Nice blue power light only. Few oddities - no chapter FF REW Next on remote, use a multifunction pair of buttons switchable between different modes - skip, search, etc, direct search / skip only on machine fascia,or use chapter numbers.
Big Bonus is - It is MultiRegion, plays VCDs, MP3`s, most mpegs off CDR (yep), has all the conxns and Dolby5.1 AND ITS MACROVISION FREE (yippee)- By far the cheapest yet neatest multieverything player I come across to date.
I guess there is nothing on the web, because nobody is looking for any hacks for it as it does everything out of box. Would like to find out more about it though, maybe it could be made to read jpegs etc. Also it wont skip FBI warning, maybe there is a hack for this

wacket,
what roches stores did you see this player on sale. I went searching in my local store but they said they did not stock it?
Also does this player disable CMGS copy protection??

Thanks,
Scart
