I own this machine (but am thinking of changing it). I was expecting it to have a built in Dolby Digital Decoder but it didn`t!
But I was flicking through the instruction manual and saw that there is another version of this machine with a built in 5.1 decoder.
What I want to know is does anyone own this machine with a 5.1 decoder?

I have heard that it was planned but never made.
Or it was made and known as the Bush 2002.

On a slightly different matter, if I do change my machine, does anyone have any recommendations?
Requirements are that it has to be multi-regional (but not something like the Bush 2000 which only plays half of region 1 discs).
It has to have a 5.1 decoder (to save space in the house).
And it has to disable macrovision (to make my father happy).
