Page 1 of Replacement for Wharfdale 750 please!

My old Wharfdale Tesco DVD player (750 I think) seems to be wearing out. I need a replacement which

What I need is a DVD player which:

Will play all formats of DVD (DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, although I can live without DVD-RAM)

Is multiregion without having to buy anything extra (burning a firmware to cdr is no problem)

Will auto-switch between PAL and NTSC

Has RGB Scart output with fairly decent picture quality. The Wharfdale was fine.

Doesn`t have sound synch issues (I hear the KiSS ones do)

Costs less than £170

It would be nice if it also:

Played DivX\XviD\MP3\ogg etc etc etc. I have an XBox for that stuff, but hey, options is options...

Didn`t look\feel cheap and nasty

Had an unloseable remote control ;)

Am I looking for the moon on a stick or is all this reasonable?

I know DVD recorders are all the rage right now, but I don`t have even an arial, so one will be no use to me at all.

hi richks I still have a good working wharfdale 750 multiregion which I do not use any more. This is a very good player and if you want to keep the same machine we can talk pennies!

Hey mate,

Cheers for the offer, it`s not that I`m exactly attached to the s750 in particular. More looking for the 2005 equivalent replacement for that 2000 machine.

At £35 the Chello is too cheap to pass over, even if I give it away in 6 months time when something really spiffy comes along.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

We went for the Pioneer 575, but it really depends what you`re after and the Chello does what you want then go for it.

Bought a Cello yesterday, £35 I couldn`t resist.

Picture quality is what I`d expect from a £35 unit. Obviously not up to the standard of the Wharfdale.

After a brief test there are several issues with the unit, none of them make it worth less than £35 though.

I think I`ll pass it on and check out the Poineer at the weekend.
