Page 1 of Hitachi DVD 515e

I`m looking into buying this player. What are peoples opinions of it?

I had a Hitachi 305 but that caused me a few problems. Half way through movies, at random points, the picture would pixellise and it would say the disc couldn`t be played. There was no dirt on the disc and it really baffled me because it did it at random points.

Cheers

I bought one for myself for X-mas, and I`m "very" happy about it:
Pros:
- It plays VCD, photoalbum made from jpg-pictures in WinOnCD
- It plays MP3`s though only 8 character names and only 1 sub-directory.
- 2 scarts
CONS:
- The ones with the new bios can NOT be made Regional free, as far as I know.

Conclusion:
I need a regionfree dvd-players so I`m therefore trading mine in for a Pioneer 444.
