4 out of 5 stars Very good dvd player but buy correct tv/dvd connection cable   January 2, 2009
As other reviews have stated this is a very good dvd player - great value for money.
I was thinking of getting a more expensive player with upscaling abilities but, after reading an article in a av forum which said that the difference was very small and that average consumers would probably only be able to identify the upscale dvd player when viewing side by side with a cheaper one, I decided not to bother and save my money.
Whether this is true or not I don't really know, Anyway this cheap(ish) Toshiba player provides an excellent picture and sound.
But a couple of points to remember - (1) it connects to your tv via a SCART to SCART connection cable and NOT a HDMI cable. There is no HDMI connection on the player. (2) the same article as above said it was worth buying a good SCART connection to ensure optimum picture/sound quality.
I "invested" in a relatively expensive THOR scart to scart cable. Apart from the tv quality aspect, the THOR cable looks and feels as though it's built to last - maybe even longer than the player or the tv !!

5 out of 5 stars Tosh have done it   December 26, 2008
Fantastic value for money. Mine came already set for multi region - hack was not required. Nice little bonus is that it will play AVI files directly from DVD+R disks.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent player and service by Amazon.co.uk   December 24, 2008

My DVD player refused to play any longer and I ordered this DVD-player a few days before Christmas. As usual, I chosed my company as the delivery address and when Amazon sent a message that it would be delivering after Christmas, I didn't see a problem. I was surprised when I read an e-mail on the 24th of December in the morning that Amazon would be delivering today. We are a European company and are always closed on Christmas Eve.
I went to my company and put a note outside with my home address and you can image how happy I was when 2 hours later the delivery service came. Many thanks Amazon for this great service!
The DVD-player was made just for me: simple to use and works fine. I just put the DVD in and press the play button.
Although I have bought 99% of my DVDs in Europe, I also have some region 1 DVDs (like A Human Voice with Ingrid Bergman), which were never released in Europe.
I followed the instructions below and chosed "0" (multi-region") and it works! If you choose the region once, it is not necessary to change it every time after that. I also wouldn't recommend choosing a special region, because some drives allow changing the region only once and "0" is for region "1-4", I believe, but I am not sure.
