Advantages: cheap, easyily available

Disadvantages: jumps on some films that is expensive and hard to replace

After much soul searching and scanning around the
net I finally took the plunge and purchased a 750
from Tescos about 2 months ago. I wanted a DVD
player with good video output (RGB) but without any
surround sound decoding, it had to be cheap, play
CDRs, be multi-region, black (strange i know, but i
didnt want a silver player sat between my black tv
and video!), and have DTS compatible digital audio
out (see my Digitheatre DTS review).

In the 2 months that Ive had the player it has
performed brilliantly. I use my seperate surround
sound system in dolby digital and/or DTS mods and
watched 10 or so films with practically no problems.
The player does have some known hitchs - from
memory "The talented Mr Ripley" and "Jaws" both
have problems where the film doesnt start when you
select play from the DVD menu, this isnt a problem
because if you go to the chapter select menu on the
disk and select the 1st chapter the film will play
through properly.

Overall this player is cheap, fully featured, and a
generally good value-for-money buy, if you want a
good looking player, or one with a more prominent
brand name then expect to shell out £50 to £100

more for the same features!
