Page 1 of Yet another cry for help! (including aiwa 370)

Ok, I know its been asked before but advice is needed.

I want a budget dvd, it basically has to play dvds with decent picture and sound, and low or no operating noise. (not bothered about CDs or MP3s etc). Oh, and multi-region hackable and RCE capable.

However I only have an 12 year old 14" TV with no scart but just the socket for the arial lead from my video, a 1 year old Panasonic which has 2 scart sockets labelled, AV1 TV, and AV2 Decoder/Ext. I have no additional speakers.

Will this set up work? What is this about shuddering through the video? Do I need a new tv and if so should it have one or two scarts?

I have more or less decided on an Aiwa 370 ( I believe it rocks).

Advice anyone?

Yeah,

If u can get an AIWA, get one hell knows they are hard to get hold of. If not try getting a Toshiba SD100E which is what i`m looking for at the moment. A nice player from what i`ve heard.

Yep, Aiwa 370 (if you can bloody find one!!)

Setup won`t work without a macro decoder I`m afraid. Must have scart or ext input on the telly.
If you`re buying a new telly, get the best you can afford, with as many scarts as you can (2 as a minimum, 3`s good, 4 is ACE for connectivity)

And yes..it does rock! lol

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!

I`d upgrade your telly first. You`re kinda tryin` to run before you can walk! You won`t really appreciate what DVD is all about on that TV - also, did you say it was a black & white set?

Thanks for the advice.

The search for an Aiwa begins.
