RE: Toshiba Software update Adive sought.

Thanks for the advice. I have gone ahead and ordered one. If anyone is interested it was from be-direct for 175 as suggest in another thread. I tried Richer for a price match but they had none in stock.

Toshiba Software update Adive sought.

Hi

I have seen a good price for the tosh 210e. Speaking to the call centre person (who did at least go and speak to someone else) reported that this was multi region adapted through a software upadate, not chipped. Do any people out there no where this is possible. The website said it was not RCE c ompatible, is this likely to be true or will the start off with a no RCE disk likely to still work?

Many thanks

Which DTS decoder player for JBL Curry`s deal

Dear all

Have just acquired one of these Curry`s 150 JBL deals.

Am I right in presuming that if I buy a DVD player with a DTS decoder I could match this together for a DTS system as well?

If so do any players sping to mind?

Budget systems

I have been considering here buying a DVD player however since visiting this sight and shops I have come to the conclusions that I need a full set up. I want to do this on the cheap.

I have seen some cheapish av amps with DTD DD.

I am considing a toshiba 210 player.

Now in terms of speakers could I pick say a couple of pairs of Ariston speakers from RS fo £15 a pair and then a centre speaker from there as well? A subwoofer is something I could possibly leave for later on if needed.

How do you think this would compare with any of these all in a box jobbies that appear to be approx £500.

Any thoughts would be aprreciated.
