I'm after something as cheap as possible but which will play VCDs and SVCDs recorded onto CD-R.

Anyone got any suggestions?

if u have a pc at home, install a dvd drive for £20! voila. (and if you have tv out, then even better.)

Otherwise, try to get down to a cash convertors.. i saw a decent one in there the other day for £50.

Failing that, get one of those from £79 - £99 machines from a supermarket or asda... most of those are vcd/cdr compatible... dunno about svcd tho.

I picked up a Wharfedale 750 from Richer sounds for about £99 it is multi-region and plays VCD's I'm very happy with it. (not sure if it plays SVCD'S though)

Ended up with an Alba 108, £70 from Argos. Plays SVCDs, is multiregion, and picture looks great on my 28-inch widescreen. Box is nice, small and metal and doesn't feel cheap and nasty at all. A bargain!
