i want to buy a quality brand dvd player which plays CD-R, CD-RW, DVD -/+ R/RW disks, can anybody recommond me a place which does one for about £100?

its a JVC XV-N55.
it looks very sleek and smooth with the silver and blue finish.

the price here at here is about £5 more than here at dabs

i carnt be arsed getting it from dabs to save £5- i dont know much about the company anyway.
so i'll just pop down to my local comet and purchase the player, by the way, does anybody know if comet will match a cheaper price in store, hence i could show them the player is cheaper at dabs.

The pioneer 350 will play the discs you want. You can get it here in multi region form for £100.00.

I have the 454, the only diference between the 2 is that the 350 doesn't have an optical output and the 454 has. The picture and sound are amazing. Great value.

Cheers.

simon, if it doesnt have a optical out, can i still connect it up to my home cinema system??

You can with a digital co-axial lead, assuming your amp has a co-ax input

The Pioneer 360S has just become available on Amazon see here . It would appear from Pioneer's website that this model does have an optical output, see here. I think the 360 must be a replacement for the 350. If the picture and sound are as good you can't go wrong and it's multi region. I would say however that if you have a Panasonic TV you might want to think again, I have seen some postings referring to compatability problems with Pioneer players and Panasonic TV's when using the RGB scart.

Hope this helps you in your choice.

thanks mate, i have a sony 32" widescreen tv

ok

the cyberhome ch dvd 505 is a bloody good contender too

I’ve just bought the Toshiba 330E and I have to say the picture quality is fantastic and I think it plays all the stuff your looking for and it also plays Microsoft format CD’s and it has a JPEG viewer.

the 505 does tooo!

But then so does the Yamada from ebuyer for 50 quid......
