The Mico from Sainsburys bigger stores will do the lot, Part Panasonic & only £89-00. PROBLEM seems none available at this moment. Beware with VCDs & SVCDs, many will say they play them but there are lip sinc problems and some (Pioneer 444) will not go forward by time. The MICO is the only player I have tried that does them all. If you want a named brand then if the.. NEW.. Toshibas play SVCD & VCDs without lipsinc problems (The 210 had this problem & I expect the 110 does as well) then they will be the best but you will probably have to have them moded.
