Pioneer DV535 / players for £250 tops

Hi all,

I`m looking for a replacement DVD player (the Wharfy 750S had to go - it wouldn`t play Spaceballs right!)

I`m going to have (after the refund etc) around £250 to spend and am wondering what the best player is for that money and which is the best multi-region hack for it (I know it`s got to be chipped).

The current favourite is the Pioneer DV535 from either hifistore or upgradeheaven - upgradeheaven are currently winning as their mod claims to be RCE compatible in auto mode.

Is there a RCE compliant "auto mode" chip available for it, or are upgradeheaven doing a sales pitch?

Any problems anyone has had with this player I should watch out for?

What`s the layer change like - small, bad, similar to the Wharfy 750S?

One last thing, how is the firmware upgraded on this player - flash?


Many thanks,
Jason
