Pacific p-dvd 1000 from Asda - a Sampo clone?

Hi you gurus,
I was thinking of buying the Pacific DVD player from Asda at 89 pounds. I see the region hack (involving entering 8421 - elsewhere on this site) is identical to that for the Reoc A3 from Safeway at http://reoc.keyservice.co.uk/a3/regionfree
I`m sure I read the Reoc is a Sampo clone, or is it just the Reoc A5?
Does this mean the Pacific 1000 is a Sampo clone - of which model, and since the Pacific 750 has the same hack how is it related?
Any opinions on the Pacific 1000 - is it good for VCD, does it play CDR, and MP3? - the latter is a feature of the A3, but not mentioned on the Pacific 1000`s box.

It`s just the A5 that`s a Sampo clone, sadly.

We think the A3 is an "Aki" player

Intersting both the Pacific 750 and the 1000 are said to have the same region hack as the Reoc A3.
Perhaps all are from Aki ?
But I notice the 750 looks a lot like the Reoc A5
Oh well, back to the drawing board,
Geoff
