| DVD Recorder Am interested in buying a DVD Recorder for the home theatre as the £30 asda player is a bag of...... yeah. Anyway, was wondering, is it possible to get a dvd recorder that will be able to play not only PAL DVD's but also NTSC? If so where should I look? Which models, etc. Current setup: Sanyo EM-S1055 800W | Cannon 'Chester' 4Hob | Zanussi FrostFree | Phillips HD4666 3000W | Swan ST1020 2Slice. |

| Ah right, thanks. Just wasn't sure if it'd work if i got aload of NTSC films only to find they won't work... so most DVD players play both? Current setup: Sanyo EM-S1055 800W | Cannon 'Chester' 4Hob | Zanussi FrostFree | Phillips HD4666 3000W | Swan ST1020 2Slice. |

 | Yeah its mainly the TV that is the issue with PAL/NTSC problems. As long as your TV supports both and you use a scart connection you should have no problems Mac Pro, 2x Quad core 2.8ghz Xeon, 512mb 8800GT, 512mb 8500GT, 4gb DDR2 FB-Dimm HP Touchsmart TX2 HTC Touch Pro on EnergyROM with HTC Sense 2.5 (MaxManilla) "Is it a coincidence that an anagram of gordon brown is "born do wrong" ?, I rest my case. |

| i havent come across a dvd player to this day that cannot be unlocked to multiregion with a simple keypress hacking code. you shouldnt need to worry about it being MR out of the box as most can be unlocked anyway. |

| I would check out richersounds.co.uk they stock a large range of multi region dvd recorders. Considering you want a good quality, but not amazingly expensive one I would suggest the Panasonic DMRES10 Multi-Region for £179.99 is what you want http://ws4.richersounds.com/showprod...d=PANA-DMRES10 |

| I bought a Philips DVDR70 over a year ago (<£150). Had no problems once I'd upgraded the firmware and borrowed an 1 for all remote to perform the multiregion hack. Panasonic dvd recorders have a good reputation - they were too exensive when I bought mine. Cheapest Panasonic I could find at Richer sounds (mentioned above) was £150 + delivery (not multiregion though). Panasonic DMRE55 Silver (DVD Recorder - last few to clear) If you have a mini DV camcorder look for one with i-link (firewire input). Last edited by sdl; 17-08-2005 at 05:35 PM.. |
