Page 1 of HELP! - Cheap 2nd DVD Player needed - recommendations PLEASE!

I am looking to buy a 2nd player for my daughter for xmas.
The Alba VD104 looks quite good for specs. What do you all think.
I would like it to have Multi Region, VCD, CD-R capability.
(We already have a few kids films on regions 1, 2 and 4.)
What other machines are recommended for around £100 to £120-00.

I have a Scan as main player in living room (mainly due to the MP3 capability- great jukebox!) so I am not thinking of giving her this.

Although suggestions will be appriciated as to what you would buy and where from at the above budget.

Blimey, when I was a saucepan I had to make do with Scaletric,Lego or the original Thunderbirds toys (Big plastic things they were!).

Hi, I got my Alba104 a month ago after reading about it here - £99.99 at Argos. So far I`ve had a great run with it - it`ll play all of the above and other stuff like Mp3s, even some music I put on a CD-RW, to see if it had burned okay. I haven`t tried R4 as I don`t have any, but you could do worse than this machine. It can also tape straight to video.

I believe you`ll have to specifically ask for this item as it`s meant to be a substitute for another model.

The Cyberhome 528 (new model) is approx £120 and, I believe, does everything you require, PLUS it has DD & DTS decoders built-in (I believe). If you ask clayts nicely he might just email you a good review of the machine from Home Entertainment ( I haven`t been able to get to it yet!)
