Just got a 1002W from Asda in Gateshead and, not that I`m bragging or anything, but mine played R1 DVDs, VCDs and copied DVDs straight out of the box. All I needed to do for R1 for smooth playback was to change the player`s tv mode to NTSC. I`m well pleased with the player. There`s only one thing that I`m dissapointed with about it and that`s the lack of an optical out socket for surround sound. The coaxel out sounds lovely, but now I`ve got a spare optical lead lying about with nothing to do :D
