Page 1 of Newbie alert! Toshiba or Philips?

Looking to buy my 1st DVD player - all the reviews say the Tosh 210E is the dog`s, but:
(i) Not sure about the looks
(ii) Heard it can be a bit noisy

Anyone tried the Philips DVD712? Reviews seem a bit thin on the ground, but I quite like this machine `cos I`ve got a One4All remote to hack it with!

I would stick with the tosh.

All the best,

Andrew.

I`d be tempted to go for the Philips. The multiregion mod is via the remote as you say .Philips technical backup is very good ,I`ve received a couple of upgrades from them on a cdr for an older player.

What TVand Video have reviewed both these players.

At the end of the day it`s your decision,I would try to compare both and then see what price you could get them for.

Fair advice, I can`t argue with that.

I`m biased towards the 712, I have the 711, & wish mine could play MP3`s like the 712, apart from that, great player. easy hack, rce discs............etc etc etc(3 free Nick Cage discs with the 712, if they`re still available near you, I know we have loads at work! Another good buying point I think)
