I would like a DVD player

Hello there,

I have searched a lot of places for my ideal DVD player but to no avail. What I am looking for is a DVD player that is small and compact (though not the portable ones with the screen attached to it).

I recently brought a Matsui DVD225 which I thought was perfect. It was lightweight (2Kg), measured 260(W) x 260(D) x 50(H)mm, was multi-region and it cost under £30 ($60). Now the problem was that it could not play VCDs (this is quite a big problem for me as I have a lot of existing VCDs in my collection). So, I have had to return the player.

Please would anybody recommend a DVD player for me that has the above features and can play VCDs too.

Many thanks.

Well , nowadays at the market there are lots of producers with various quality.
I have Pioneer DV 454 player for 3 years now, and so far there haven't been any problems with it.
I have heard(from a friends) that Sony has pretty good players (very reliable,and proveed already too), so it is up to you to decide dude!:D

Chubba,
Did you find a new DVD player that meets your needs ?

If so, which model ?

If not, here you can browse Sony DVD players:

You might try the consumer magazines for features & reliability etc.
If you watch DVD's a lot, you might go to the store and lift them all up. The heaviest ones probably have the most (reliable) metal and less plastic.
