Advantages: Multi-region, Great picture, Great sound

Disadvantages: Whining on playing sometimes

Okay, this player has now been bettered by the M5 model also at Tesco, but when it came out in 1999, I snapped this up for £180.

Multi-region, great picture and sound, easy to use, I would have recommended this to anyone.

New players now can play MP3, VCDs, etc, this one can't but it'll play any DVD on the planet give or take a handful.

The menus though are a bit basic and the aesthetics of the design of the box are basic in the Skoda sense, i.e. it does the job.

It's easy to see why all the DVD reviewers made this DVD player of the year as it embarrassed players that were thrice the price.

The box doesn't mention that it has Dolby Digital (though it's sub modification does), but sure enough the chip is in the box and does work!

If you find one of these second hand, you've got a loyal friend. No mechanical problems, but be careful of some players. The player disc spindle isn't 100% aligned and can give a slight whining noise, but shut it in a cupboard or display unit and you'll be fine.
