I am looking to purchase a budget dvd player and need some advice
I currently have a Philips DVD Recorder but when you pause the dvd you get this annoying quite large bar saying pause covering the top left of the picture
I also have a cheap budget DVD player from Tesco but the discs keep skipping and its giving up the ghost but it had a very discrete pause caption in the corner of the screen but unsure as to who makes it as its Tesco branded

Can anyone recommend a cheap DVD player make that also has a discrete message showing

Many thanks

I'm puzzled as to why should an on-screen graphic of "Pause" annoys you?

I used to use a Freeview PVR to record countdown when Amstrad's Sky+ wouldn't record Channel 4. We would pause at the advert break and leave the teatime teaser up to solve, the pause took up half the screen obliterating the teaser.

If you want to pause a football match to check an offside for instance then it's no good if you can't see the screen properly.

Good pauses should be small and disappear completely after a few seconds.

why buy a supermarket machine

both of my boys have a basic sony dvd in their room, nothing fancy, just the cheapest model and they are great
