DVD player advise

Burbleflop · 1 Jul 2006 at 11:50

I need suggestions for a new DVD player - my budget is around £400.

If possible I'd like it to play DVD-A and SACD's too. I'm not bothered about having a DVD recorder because I've got Sky+ (soon to be replaced with Sky HD).

TV wise, I'll be plugging it into one of the new 37" Dell HD LCD screens where I'll be using the HDMI input for the Sky HD box so I want to use the component input for the DVD player.

About half of the DVD's I've got are R1, so it'll need to be multi region too.

If you can stretch to £500 I would go for the Denon 2910

I was looking at that actually. There is a place in London that sells them for £400 but only for in-store orders and finding the time to get down to London is a struggle at the moment.

Not a bad idea. I suppose I could pick up a cheapie £30 or so player for now, then buy something better in the future.

what are the benefits of spending that much on a DVD player?
