DVD Player

In_for_a_Bargain

Hi I currently have a Samsung DVD recorder, but am looking for a small and cheap DVD player for my bedroom. This may seem like a silly request but my problem is not finding one, but finding one that will play the discs I use on my recorder. Have tried the discs on several of friends and family's players but with no success. I use DVD Ram discs and -RW neither of which will play on another machine. I want to be able to watch them upstairs so I am not taking up the family TV with things I have recorded.Any help anybody?

I got a DK Digital cheapy player from Amazon (£40-ish) and it plays everything I've thrown at it.

I think they went bust though as I can't find anyone selling them anymore.

! bought a brand new dvd recorder from Cash Converters for £42.50. They had a lot of them in stock. PYE PRV 645. For this price use this one to record and your other one in the bedroom

I bought one from WHSmiths for £40 and it's never failed and plays anything where my £400 Sony plays films and thats about it. The cheepy was Cyberhome if that helps.

Tescos have them at less than £20.

I bought 2 of the tesco £18 (?) ones, and they only play every other disc that I've tried in them, so I wouldn't personally.

on the other hand, I've got a Yakumo that I bought for around £35 from Amazon a year or two ago that plays everything I throw at it, never failed yet

so impressed was I that I actually use a yakumo stereo in my car, and it's been similarly wonderfull (and was just as cheap).

Thanks for the suggestion Penrhyn. I think this is the same one as my friend has and she has tried my discs on it with no success. Thanks again, I'm sure I will find one somewhere. The trouble is I have to go through setting it all up etc to find out it doesn't play the discs, that is why I am asking for suggestions from others that have been tried already.

Try the Amstrad DX-3092 if Currys still have them.

£19.99 and it should play all of your discs + DIVX too

Panasonic do a dvd player (model ends in ...29) which will play both RAM disks and -RW (they must be finalised first however). Its available for ~£39 in tesco and ~£40 in currys.

AFAIK compatibility of dvd players with RAM disks is really really limited
