I want the moon on a stick. Sort of.. dvd player question

[Jumbo_Holden]

I want to buy a another standalone DVD player to go as a secondry to my Phillips DVDR recorder, I may be asking for the moon on a stick but want one that does all the following


Play DVD-R/DVD+R and +RW and -RW perfect without freezing
Play VCD/CD-R/RW
Can be set to muti region
Will play MP3 DVDS
Will play MP3 CDS

Will reconise .JPGS and .MPGS on cd-rs and show them on screen/play them
PAL/NTSC compatible


The new one in the living room does all the above expect the bolded oponion, I may be asking for too much perhaps but is there a player make and model out there that does all that?

Get the alba dvd55 . Got one for the young'uns bedroom

cost £29 from argos . only has 2 channel output (audio)

but this little baby will play anything you throw at it

with good picture and sound (got it hooked through an amp, kids these

days get every bloody thing)

stick a beer mat in and it will try to read it (serious ! i tried )

I suggest the Phillips DVP-720SA. This I believe plays the formats you request, I would double check the stats on this site to make sure. It also plays mpeg-4 files and super audio cd's. These are the newest formats available today and with this player I feel you will not be outdated. It also has scalable component video output. I really want to get one of these but they will not ship them to the U.S. This DVD player plays both PAL and NTSC and has a 100 ~ 240 v power supply meaning I could use it here with no problem. I think it also has S-CART connection. The region code hack I believe is: Tray open, no disc. On remote press 9-9-9-9-X. Where X represents the region you want to select. Press 0 for region free. The region number you select should appear on the screen. Let me know if this player interests you, and let me know if I can send you cash for an extra one and have you ship it here heh heh heh.
cheers.

Thanks alot for your help, but went ahead and bought a pacific 1002 from asda (£34.99) and its the bees knees will play a beer mat if you put it in.. well serisouly plays mp3 dvds / mp3 cds the works, even plays a badly burnt dvdr copy of Fawlty Towers I could only get to play on my phillips dvdr70 dvd-recorder even then it was jerky this play its perfect ... theres only one kind of disc It woudl'nt play and that was un-finalised dvd+rs im still adding to ,, but hey no player plays thoses apart from the recorder drive itself right

all I have to do now is get the balls up to put the region all hack in (worried about messing my dvd player see )
