Akura ADV13S vs. Akura ADV15S

Sainsbury`s have the ADV15S at £34.99 but it doesn`t output RGB, Superdrug have the ADV13S for £36.99. Anyone know if the ADV13S can output RGB? Any other major differences to make one better value over the other?

I phoned a tech support number (01422 203676) as I was concerned that the ADV13S would not play DVD-R disk used to burn home movies on. The guy there tested one and confirmed it played so I popped along to the nearest superdrug that had one in stock and purchased it.

The manual states (quote) Scart R-G-B output x 1 (unquote) but gives no pin outs to confirm its fully wired.

For a £35 player the picture quality on our 10 year old sons 14" TV is good. It played a home movie (holiday) DVD fine, and played a ripped DVD from one source fine, but woud not play a ripped DVD done on my PC using branded (sony TDK) DVD-R disks. Maybe this is due to sothing in the commpression when I ripped the disk ??? Not tried MP3s yet.

All in all a very nice player for the money. Puts my old Awia 320 (which cost over £200 two years ago) to shame !

my missus bought an Akura ADV13S and it plays multi-region straight from the box...
