Page 1 of Aiwa XR DV 120

I`m considering buying one of these at GBP199.99 from Currys. Essentially it is a mini system with a 3 disc CD/DVD changer.
See www.aiwa.co.uk Products > Hi-fi Systems > Mini Systems > DVD Systems

Now the questions from a newbie:
Does anyone have any experience of the model?
Are there any multi-region hacks for it?
Will it play back in surround sound on my 5 speaker TV?
Would I be better off with a stand alone DVD player?

Sorry if the questions seem silly but I have absolutely no experience in the field.

TIA
