Page 1 of advice needed budget £100 max!

I want to upgrade my DVD player from a wharfdale 750s.

Essentially the replacement must be the same (eg multi -region,RCE compatible) with the exception of an added inbuilt Dolby/Dts decoder. It would also be good if it didnt have any problems with playing any discs at all!

I have drawn up a shortlist - which one should i go for? (Or suggestions of any better models that have my required specs?)

SVA D-2008 Multi-region.

Philips 634 (dont know if it can be multi-region and sketchy if it has an inbuilt dolby/dts decoder)

Thomson dth-210u (apparently has a decoder but i havent heard of any sucessful region hacks?)

And even a Cyberhome player? I dont know any specific models.

Can anyone clarify the details of these players? Id be most grateful if you could help me as i want to buy one in the new few days!

All the best

How does £57.50 sound, click here http://www.dabs.com/home.asp
then look top right hand side.

I was really interested in the SVA D-2008 to me it looked like a fantastic player from specs but I couldn`t find any reviews or actual first hand experiance of it, this put me off :( I am confused though as this particular Drive has a built in decoder ? did you mean that the exception was that it would have a built in decoder, and not that the exception from it would be a decoder ??

I ended up getting a £69 Pacific 1002 from ASDA as my budget bedroom model and I must say that for the money its excellent. Plays everything and can be made region free with a hack available on this site. But no built in decoder.

Must add though that if your looking for a built in decoder at this price range don`t expect anything great from it !

I think im going to go for the Thomson dth 210u model as it has what i want (I hope) and is only 79.99 so im going to go 4 it! Wish me luck. I know that inbuilt decoders are not too hot but i just want a basic surround setup - nothing too flashy!

Tesco`s are doing the Dansai 955 for £99 or even £89 that has a built in DD decoder.

Toshiba SD220SE from Richer Sounds multi-region for an extra £19.99 on top of your budget. You must be mad to ignore this bargain!!

get ANY cyberhome! SUPERB! especially the 505

will this player accept dvd copies? vcd?

yep!

It definitely accepts (S)VCD and DVDR
