dvd player suggestions please...
 
Can anyone suggest a good dvd player for under £100? I don't really care about the colour of the thing, or surround sound etc...Just something reliable, with good picture quality that doesn't confuse the hell out of me.... (Yep, I am one of the women who can do your company accounts in two mins flat, but can't even work out how to tune in the channels on my video... :dunce: )

edit

I wouldn't mind if it had radio on it aswell.....

If you aren't worried about 'extras' then you may as well get a cheap one from asda or argos for aroun £30

I have a yamada one that plays pretty much anything cd/dvd shaped :) Including divx and xvid discs.....

I think maplin are doing this on special offer at the moment for around £80

Our Tesco's has a good selection of DVD players. Can't say I've tried any of them though.

You can go for one of the various £30 obscure brand ones, or for £63 you can get better quality with the Toshiba SD330 (multi region) from Richer Sounds.

My pioneer top of the range wouldnt play half the stuff i put in it but the Asda pacific plays anything I throw at it.

Asda Pacific is an excellent player, as is the Phillips DVD625 they both play everything bar divx and xvid without bother for me.

The phillips is sub £100 as well :)

It's certainly worth paying slightly more for a multi-region player. I seem to buy most of my DVD's on the web from Australia, Hong Kong and USA. They are far cheaper than buying them in UK shops.

Best value for money is from Amazon.co.uk - a player that plays all regions, mp3, photo cds, et al. £29.99 !
I've got 2, and both are excellent quality.
