Technika DVD512

[AlphaGeeK]

Just found this player in my local branch of Miller Brothers and it seems to play everthing I can give it.

DVD (obviously!), DVD-R, DVD-RW. SVCD and VCD on CD-R (any old cheap disks) and CD-RW.

Music CD and MP3 files burned on to a CD or DVD.

Just tried this and it even will play an .mpeg burned on to a PC format disk, you get a nice file picker a bit like Windows Explorer!

Dolby 5.1 output as well. Oh and Karaoke disks and you get 2 mic inputs so you can sing along when you're pissed!

Beats my Sony that I bought last year for versatility hands-down!


How much? £129.99 - This is too damn good to be true.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

It has a switch on the remote for Auto/Pal/NTSC - so if you have an old TV that does not support NTSC format output, it'll play these in colour also.

One downside... haven't seen a multi-region hack yet. But it's a new player and there's bound to be one soon!
