I recently purchased a region 1 DVD from America but was unable to play it on my JVC player as it was region 2. After many hours of trawling the net looking for access codes I eventually decided it was a lot less hassle to buy a multiregion player-another £150 I thought. How wrong could I be? For under £35 with free P+P I decided on probably the cheapest Multiregion DVD player around. When it arrived I couldn't believe how thin it was compared to my JVC, under two inches wide with a nice chrome style drawer. The general appearance of the XL2 puts my JVC to shame, with an array of playback features including DVD R, DVD RW, VCD, SVCD, JPG-CD, MP3, CD, CD-R and CD-RW to mention a few. The picture and sound quality are excellent and they even give you the batterys for the remote and a scart lead. So if you want a quality multiregion DVD player but don't want the £150 price tag buy one of these-no actually for that price I'd buy two!!!!!

Welcome to Ciao. Good first review. I too have a cheap and cheerful player in the girls room, they have so much better compatability than the expensive ones don't they.
Advantages: Multi-region, good audio/video quality, very low price, lots of features, player seems well made Disadvantages: Remote control could be better, MP3 player a bit buggy
