Best possible DVD player for max. £200

paul© (Harmless) posted this on Friday, 21st September 2001, 20:44

I`d like to know the best DVD I can buy that costs up to £200.

It MUST be able to play CDR/CDRW/MP3/VCD, have DTS/5.1/Optical/Coaxial/Composite/S-Video outputs, 2 SCART sockets, multiregion/region user selectable, a good remote control, and preferably in silver.

Any ideas?

I have looked at the CyberHome AD-L528 player on Scan.co.uk and although it meets these requirements I`ve heard the picture/sound isn`t up to scratch and thats why it`s only £130.

Thanks

Tosiba 210e

Currenty the best rated DVD player going, its scooped all the awards up for one thing, can do everything u listed.

Every review ive checked rates its picture/sound quality at 5/5 no questions asked.

Apparantly its beating nearly all the £500-600 dvd players out there and its only 200 quid :)

Only became the best DVD player recently though.

Only one bad thing about it is the drive has been noted too be Noisy...
So id listen too it first.

I asked a question on another forum about how it performs up against Scan player(I got that one) and the Cyberhome and other budget players
and heres the reply:

bloody hell mate, you dont want much for your money !!! I agree slightly with the others in the fact that the Tosh is a cracking player for it price but ITS NOT MULTIREGIONAL !!! nor does it have a DTS decoder but does have DTS output via optic fibre or my fav coaxial, and it only has 1 scart socket which although it is RGB, but it does also have S Video, oh and a plus for you - yes its silver !!!
To be honest with the spec you want for the money you`ve got - well if you can get one, get two and i`ll have one :-)
