Page 1 of Any opinions on Sony DVP-NS300/400?

Am considering telling my parents to go for one of these machines. Anybody got one/seen one in action to let me know whether they`re worth the investment. Richer sounds sells both machines as multi-region models (although out of stock of both at the moment). Is there much advantage in getting the better machine solely for the second Scart and 5.1 decoder. My parents almost certainly won`t need either initially, but will they get burned later if they upgrade other equipment and don`t have these features.

All advice welcome.

I`ve got the ns 700 and on the whole it`s a fabulous piece of kit with excellent sound, picture and build quality. I would imagine the 300 & 400 to be very similar.

I`ve got the NS-300 & have been very satisfied with it (even though I got it last year when it was costing £200+ R2 only). NS-300 doesn`t have CD-R/RW playback though - I believe NS-400 does.

Hi y`all, thanks for the comments. Am still thinking about what to get. Have just started looking at the Toshiba 220 aswell... Oh decisions, decisions. I always make these things far more complicated than they need to be.

The new Sony NS305 plays CD-R/RW, DVD-R/+RW/-RW and MP3s.
Interesting, eh?
