Advantages: Fantastic Multi region player

Disadvantages: Ugly

This DVD player is not pretty, (though the 750s that I have has a better looking remote than the 750) but for the specification and price the machine cannot be beaten. The main attractions for me were the shockingly easy multi-region hack, the ability to set the DVD to a particular region (very important for new imported DVDs that check for multi region players and will not play if the DVD can use DVDs from more than one region) and the excellent NTSC to PAL conversion (I won't bore you with the details, the Whafdale web site has then) that make R1 discs play perfectly. As an aside, the ability to play R1 discs should not be understated, we are REALLY sold short in the UK as my last purchase demonstrated, it was Dinosaur (2disc) from Canada for less than the cheapest price quoted in the UK even when you add the cost of shipping (www.dvdboxoffice.com has free shipping) and this title is not released in the UK till 29th March 2001 (I got mine on 31st Jan!!)
