I am trying to find a DVD/VCR combination unit but can only find them in Silver. As all my other units are black, a silver one would stand out like a sore thumb. Does anyone know of a black one?

Do what i did, just go out and replace the whole lot, then face the wrath of the missus. ;)

It gets me down too. I reckon silver looks tacky and cheap - give me black anytime!

I like silver - my amp is silver, as is my DVD deck and digibox. One advantage is that it needs less dusting!! :)

Thats very true. All my equipment is black and just loves dust!

saw a black JVC DVD player & a black JVC TV in Debenhams yesterday so they must be about cos i don`t think these were old stock. Get on the phone & see it they have what you are looking for.

What really annoys me is when you ask the shop assistants in the shops that you`re looking for a new TV / dvd / video or whatever in black they tell you theyre not available - because nobody wants black anymore, everyone wants silver. Well I want black (and I want to buy an IDTV that`s not the size of an artic` truck too - ie smaller than 28" !!!)
So much for consumer choice. !!

Au contraire...
I think you`ll find black is the new, erm, black. :/
Could always do what I did - get some nice furniture to hide away the messy bits (silver video, netgem, PS1 that don`t coordinate) and put the telly on top (Loewe Aconda in Piano Black in our case). Also went for Bose speakers too.
Looks good and keeps "she who must be obeyed" happy - so is worth spending on for that alone !
