Samsung 811 vs Panasonic RV20

Need to get a player for my folks as they disapprove of all the wires associated with my surround system (tragic) so I`ve deprived them of my player.

Techtronics do the Panasonic for under £200 chipped. Sounds good but no digital decoder - does this make any diff? My folks only want to plug it into a normal stereo hi fi. Is the virtual surround sound feature any cop? Are there are any compatibility probs?? I`m well narked with my sampo`s inability to lip sync R1 discs - and it REALLY doesn`t like Pitch Black.

Samsung 811 - is the hack permanent? DO you have to put it in every time you throw an R1 at it? Any compat probs?

Anyone got one of these players??

Cheers

The hack in not permanent for the 811. Seems to perform OK, with all of the 30 odd discs I have thrown at it, though I only own the Matrix which was an old problem disc on early 709s.
