I bought my Wharfdale 750 from Richer sounds for ony £149.95 after my Cyber-Home ADL528 had an unfortunate encounter with a falling shelf.

Why not just buy another Cyber-Home? My reason was
CD playing performance. In addition to the player's
excellent DVD picture and sound, it also has a very reasonable CD playback performance. The improvement
in quality when playing CDs thorugh my mini system amp
using the Wharfdale rather than the onboard CD player was amazing!

This makes it an ideal purchase for somone looking to move into hi-fi separates, as it can act as an perfectly good CD player until a dedicated player can be purchased.

I have also tested the Wharfdale on VCD and MP3 playback, and despite no obvious mention of it's
capabilities in the manual, it can playback both VCDs and MP3s recorded on CD, a very useful feature.

The remote is OK. I find it's colour scheme slighty odd, but at least it's not too bulky.

My only real gripe with this player is that it seems to have a very long seek time. This means a slight pause when selecting menu items before arriving at the desired section. This pause is only slightly longer than with other players I've seen, but is slightly irritating none the less.

Overall I'd say this is a great performer, in addition
to the above points it can be easily set to region free with a few button presses on the remote
