Toshiba SD210 vs Sony DVPS300

I think i`ve narrowed my choice down to these 2 players, ASLONG as either of them can out put NTSC R1 discs at either PAL 50 or 60. I checked this morning and my TV can handle Pal 50, Pal 60 and SECAM but i havn`t a clue what SECAM is!! Well my problem is I that wherever i look on the net, i can`t find out what TV output format they do, i`ve heard that if u try play R1 discs on a multiregion Sony 300 player it can only output it in NTSC, so even though it is multiregion im still not going to be able to watch R1 DVD`s! Is this true? Can the toshiba player output NTSC at PAL50/60? Thats what i need to know before i go blow £200 on something that won`t output R1 discs correctly. Thanks very much in advance.

Help needed on new DVD player, plz this is driving me mad!

I have £250 to spend on a DVD player, which MUST be multiregion, the only thing that is bugging me is that I don`t know which can output NTSC at PAL 50! Do any players besides the Hitatch 505E? I know the sony models out put NTSC at Pal 60 but what will happen if I play this back through a PAL 50 TV? Will it jump? Does anyone have any experiance of playing R1 discs thought PAL 60 on a PAL 50 TV? how is it? Or any info in NTSC - PAL 50 players multiregion for under £250 would be great. I don`t mind if you can`t get one aslong as i know that players such as the Sony DVPNS300 can play R1 discs though a standard PAL 50 UK TV fine. TIA

Customs charges

I heard alot of talk about the charges customs can make to you when importing DVD`s but i have never read anywhere how much these charges are, does anyone know how much they can charge you, or what the average charge is? TIA

Views on HITACHI DVP505E DVD PLAYER please

Im hoping to purchase a dvd player in the next couple of weeks, and i`ve been looking around on richersounds and superfi and came across this player. I see alot of people asking for recommendations for players under £200, and i know this player is slightly more £230. There are lots of hardware threasds concering sony and panasonic but i never see any views on hitachi models. Anyone got any experiance with this player? the reason it cought my eye is it`s abilitie to output NTSC at PAL 50 and is multiregion. Any feed back would be great
Thanks in advance
