Wharfedale WPC398

Advantages: Packed full of fetures, low price.

...Tesco, not somewhere that you’d expect to find a top quality budget DVD player. But with the release of the Wharfedale DVD-750 (exclusive to Tesco) Tesco has shaken up the budget DVD market. The Wharfedale is absolutely packed full of features you’d only expect to find on a much more expensive player including digital outs for use with a Dolby Digital surround amp and multi-region capability through a series of codes.

However, by simply having the disc tray on your Wharfedale ejected and pressing 0,1,2,3 on your DVD remote, the player is set to play imported films. I find this feature completely essential now as i have imported my last two DVD's.
