OK, I've got to admit, I want a lot from a player. I am about to sell my Samsung S224 because it can't quite do everything I want (shame, it's a good player for the money) here goes....

MUST have -

Multi region (inc. RCE) playback (either through hack or out of box), (S)VCD, CD-R(W), (DVD-R not essential, but ideally will have it), Selectable PAL/NTSC output (vital - can not be PAL 60 as this is the one flaw on my Samsung - NTSC can only be output in PAL 60 or NTSC)

Not as bothered about - MP3 playback (hell, why do we have CD players?), brand name (would be nice to have a top brand, but it's not essential if a cheapo does the job) macrovision (thanks to Macro master )

I have up to £150 to spend, and am seriously considering some of the following players (plus any other suggestions)

Philips 634
Cyberhome AD-L 528
Dansai 1010 (hey, I know it's a cheapo, but I've been hearing nice things)
Toshiba SD220E (Sounds great, PAL/NTSC selectable, anyone?)

I'd be interested to hear from owners of these models, and from anybody who owns another player they think would fill my needs. TIA folks,

Roger
