Hiya lads I am after getting a cheap DVD player in the UK that will play DVD-R's. I use a Pioneer 105/A05, just wondered if you had any recomendations of which player to get ?? Cheaper the better for me as I have a baby due next week and don't have much cash spare. Thanks very much STEVE
Steve, go to ASDA, get yerself a Pacific 1002w, £39.97, bloody bulletproof !Good luck with new arrival, my lad's 5 Sunday coming, time flies, mate. Reason i ever bought DVD player was cos he went thru 2 copies of Toy Story, and 2 copies of Toy Story 2 on video, wore 'em out !!! Dene _X_X_X_X_X_[small]nineteenseventythree[/small]
Cheers safc_66. Hope he has a nice birthday mate. I had read about the Pacific 1002w which people had said good things about. I am sure I read somewhere that they can be noisy playing back DVD-R's, is this the case ?? Thanks
Unsure on that one, boss. Can only tell ya that a few mates have 'em, glowing reports all around. Have had occasional 'Noisy Disc Syndrome' in my Mustek V520, can't explain why ! Try it, if it's crap, take it back & get a full, no-hassle refund. Nowt to lose mate ;-) Dene
Hi I can't help but recommend the Yamada/Umax 5520 DVD player Multi region and available from Amazon.co.uk for the VERY reasonable sum of £39.99 delivered! It plays everything with the exception of Avi/Divx! You've just gotta check it out I've had mine for 6 months and no complaints. Rob.(The nickname is my ladyfriends name & she's got the same player & likes it too).
Yakumo XL2 Multi-region DVD Player for only £34.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000UIXTU/202-9935965-3256669 Does anybody know if this one is anygood ?? Thanks
That one it is then, cheers for all the help lads. I'm off to ASDA at the weekend, I bet the buggers will have sold out, lol.
ASDA local store locater , once you find the phone no. of your local store ... bell 'em to find out if they are in stock bro : )
Herbsman I read your advice and went straight to ASDA and got one: boy am I pleased, plays my CDs plays my DVDs, and now I am playing MP3s in the background all for £39.97 great value Thanks again Guyos
MAYBE THEY SELL APEX DVD PLAYERS IN THE UK- OR ITS MULTI REGION SO YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT ONLINE FROM US DID YOU THINK OF THAT BEFORE WIPING OUT MY POST???
No it is not a brand/make sold in U.K , and that I knew. Plus it has nothing really to do with region (as he wants to play back up DVD-Rs where region is removed) and more to do with said Apex unit being NTSC if ordered from US & shipped to here (christ knows what the cost of that would be , more than the DVD Player no doubt) Obviously yes I did , and please do not shout at me again or I will ban you !!!
Steve, i wouldn't worry about lack of availability, i was in my local store tonight, there must've been 200 of the buggers, packed up to the ceiling, lol. Dene
I have to say I waited ages for the PACIFIC Dvd players to come in, and in the meanwhile bought what I thought was a crappy DVD player for the bedroom from Somerfields for £34. When the PACIFIC's arrived in Asda I gave the Somerfield DVD player (cant remember the make off hand) to my dad and bought the pacific one. I have to say the noise it makes playing DVD-R's is incredible!! I dont know whether its because we are watching it in the bedroom and its a bit quieter than the living room but I preferred the Somerfield player. That said, both played everything anyway!
