Page 1 of Sub £200 DVD player

I am going to be buying a DVD player in the very near future and i know this question has been asked lots and lots of times but i am very confused as to which player to buy.
I definatley want one that plays CDR and CDRW but i can live without the MP3 playback. I also want a player that can be hacked via the remote control.

I was originally going to go for the Lecson after seeing a review in what-hifi? but i have since read more mixed reviews on the net. Also, after visiting my local Debenhams to have a look at one, i have to say in my opinoin it is not a very nice looking machine.

Then i was thinking of the Alba. Is it correct that the Alba has a Digital Decoder built in???

Also i noticed that WH Smiths are selling a DVD player for £130 made by someone called Cyberhome ???? Never heard of them. Is this player any good ? Can it be region hacked ??? Maybe the Wharfedale is still my best bet????

My head is going to explode !!!!

Someone please help.

I have a Mico which does all you want and plays Mp3.
Trouble is the company you have to get them from are not the best at customer service (I had no problems though)

I did try a friends Wharfdale which was good but had no macro disable.

Have a look through the old threads as someone did buy Cyerhome

Mico from www.unbeatable.co.uk

I could quite happily parrot evrything Briley says.

My second Mico is a gem. It`ll do it all.

DVD/VCD1.0,1.1,2.0/DVCD/SVCD/CVD/CD-DA/MP3/CD/CDR/CDRW and comes auto-region as standard. You can even set it back to any specific region for the new RCE discs out.

I found unbeatables customer service OK. They picked-up the faultly Mico at their expense and no quibble.

It was quite hard to get someone to answer their phone, but the bitch who did, finally removed her sink plunger and sorted the problem.

Ask to speak to `Ben` if you need assistance.
