RE: Panasonic RV-40 or RV-60?

I almost bought the RV-60 from Techtronics but they F**ked me about.
For an extra £50 I plumped for the Award winning Sony 735 with all the sockets (gold) you need and more toys than an Ann Summers party!
The Duke is right about the panny but the Sony out gun`s it on the visuals. (Try Multiregion Magic, Nice people.)


Sony 735 Rocks with the volume knob turned up to 11 !

RE: IS THE ALBA IO3 ANY GOOD

If you want to be forced to be selective about your DVD collection then by it, you may be lucky and only 1 in 10 movies won`t work, If you want to play any movie then go with the Irondukes advice.

Sony 735 Rocks, Cooks, Cleans & Picks your kids up from school......

RE: Gladiator R2 Disc 2 problems

I had similar pros with my Alba 103, which I recently punted and replaced
with the spankingly gorgeous Sony DVP 735, there is no subsitute for quality, it`s the difference between knowing a disc will play and hoping a disc will play.

Toshiba & Hitachi `bow down and kiss the brushed aluminium casing of the player who is king, Sony 735` the Russell Crowe of DVD players.

Alba 103 Shadow dancing

I recently bought the Alba 103, I`m very happy with the player, but I have noticed a lot of background shadow dancing in darker scenes in movies (Matrix, Sixth Sense).
Any advise on how to combat this, I have tried both Scart & S-Video connections (no difference).

RE: Can anyone suggest a cheap MultiRgion DVD Player ?

I bought the Alba 103 from Toys`r`Us £148 on Friday.
It will play "any" Region DVD straight out the box (automaticly).
£150 from Argos.
