I posted about the DVD player on the 1st, guess they must be rubbish as no-one replied with any spec, other branded versions etc. :/

I`m surrounded by Breakdancing strippers!

Tevion is generally a good brand, raved about in computer active etc etc so it should be OK

does anybody know if this will play vcd as well as dvd????

cheers

is it multi region?

not sure, but as long as it plays vcd i will be happy, do aldi let u try b4 u buy?

As much as I like ComputerActive, I`ve yet to see them give a bad review of anything from Aldi. The cynic in me says it could be to do with the fact Aldi often have a two page ad in the same issue....money talks ! ;)

I`m not saying the Aldi products are bad, I`m an Aldi-holic myself....lol....just that I wouldn`t put too much weight in the ComputerActive reviews (just for Aldi stuff), even though I normally like the mag, and have bought it on and off for years.

They are very good on refunding money on returns and would probably let you try it and return for a refund if it didn`t play VCD , but don`t take my word for it and ask before buying .

So, does anybody know if these are or can be made multi region?

Splash out on a DVD burner as well and you can create region free back ups and keep your originals safe at home, same applies to the VCD question earlier as well - no need to worry about player compatability or changing discs half way through the film.

I`ve just raided Aldi and this unit is not multi region out of the box >:( Hacks for other Tevion units do not seem to work.

Model no. is Tevion DVP 7011

If anyone should locate a multi region hack please post it ;)

Many thanks
