Which Low-priced Multi-region DVD player?

mrbond (Harmless) posted this on Monday, 23rd April 2001, 18:17

I intend to purchase a multi region DVD player at the end of the month. I was considering the Hiimage DVD 2290, but these are now sold out. The others I had in mind were the Limit JDV300A, Eclipse DVD595, Ariston DVD2000,and LG DVD3200.

Any comment or suggestions? I want to stay under the £150 mark.

Samsung 511. £137.00 at John Lewis.
Top style as well as a quality piccy and sound.
Multi region to boot.

I`d go for a Philips 711, great budget player and Multiregional by a Oneforall remote and plays all RCE titles as well. Can get it for for about 160 - 170 quid, personally i thinks its a great buy.

If I were you I would definately go for a Phillips 711 - very good quality picture and sound - I only have it a few weeks but I have been very impressed.

Good Luck

does the same apply for the 701?

All the ones you mentioned....Don`t.

alot of people don`t like these but I do. Cyber home ADN212.

they dont do nothing special but they play region 1. I brought one for a mate at Christmas and it cost me £119.95 at Richer sounds.

I have had no problems - it plays region 1 with one simple code once.

bloody easy!! all for £119.95. and when you decide you want more you can upgrade. (I found the quality comparible to my Sony which cost me £300!!)

Well thanks for the advice everyone..... I am going to look around a few shops and so on, and see how these things appear / perform "in the flesh". I will let you know what I decide....
