Page 1 of pacific 750 or schneider 857 which is best ?

i want a dvd player to backup dvds onto tape ( mostly region 1 )which of these players will be the best.can you set them to multi region and macro disable on these models on sale in asda ?.if not which would be good player to do so,any advice appreciated.

Neither.I was lumbered with each of these after my Dansai 852 packed up,and both went back because-

a:There build quality is substandard
b:Most models have been nobbled not to play vcd`s etc
c:lip synch problems on various titles

I know it costs a little more,but the samsung 224 plays most things and got a best buy award.It`s multi region also,as are the 2 you mention.If price is the key you could try the Daewoo 6000D,but sadly no macro hack.Infact most players now have had the macro disabling feature removed.It can be a real pain finding a decent budget player,i almost gave up after constant refunds.Good luck.
