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.
