Wharfedale 9 DFS Diamond

Advantages: Cheap, good selection
Disadvantages: only available at Tesco

...I have used a Wharfedale 750 for a year now and have found it at £179.99 from Tesco's a great multi region DVD Player, I now purchase Region 1 movies from the USA just as they are coming out here sometimes even before they are here and play them on this player 9/10 without problem. When I have had problems I usually hunt out a solution on the web it, and by pressing some keys on the remote it is possible to get the movie playing.

Disadvantages: None at this price.

...--FOR STARTERS-- The wharfedale daimond 8.3s are floorstanding speakers which may interest many people who are quite serious about hifi, but don't have a never ending budget. They'll set you back £200 at the full retail price but I've personaly seen them as low as £80. First off, these speakers represent outstanding value for money.

...As seen in TESCO here is about as full a review of the two machines as I can get. DVD 750 - Available in most large Tesco stores, cost £179. There are three diffrent versions of this player but most on sale are the newwer chipsets and these have got over the original problems the player had with certain region 1 and 2 discs (more info at the wharfedale website www.wharfedale.co.uk). This player is indeed one of the best 'budget' DVD's I have seen so far, although there is a DVD 750S too which Tesco are selling for the same price..... read on DVD 750s - Available at some Tesco stores (bundled in piles with the standard 750) and at time of writing are available at TESCO.COM The latest version of the 750 (ie the S) is everything the 750 wasnt! Wharfedale have listened to the public and Tesco and brought out an excellent machine... Read review
