Page 1 of LAST CHANCE GUYS!

Right i`m going to get a Pacific DVD1002 from Asda this morning unless you guys can tell me otherwise. I`m waiting !!!!!! Might as well make a hat-trick of returned DVD players this last fortnight!

Nooooooooo....don`t do it!

Sorry to sound ovbious Garry, but why dont you just get a decent brand name, and a reputable product from a range. Not as if you pay an arm and a leg these days.

You could do a lot worse than buying a Toshiba-SD125 or upwards for less than £100 at http://www.richersounds.co.uk Toshiba Pioneered DVD technology and believe me there still at the fore front when picture is at stake.

Imho, ive just buy a decent player, all these cheap&tacky players are made from DVD-Rom computer drives which have basically been housed in larger casing and fed the necessary bits, artifacts and bad aliasing arent wholly uncommon.

Thanx men for your input especially jimb0b. But alas tis too late i`ve parted with the £69.83 and got it!
I`m getting a dab hand at taking players back now so it won`t be a problem if i`m not happy with it. Will let you know!
