DVD recommendations

[erilyn]

Dad and I were looking at dvd players (and tvs) in Harvey Norman today. I'm quite interested in the Pioneer DV-344 (or nearest model) since I think hnix, lydia_petze, veronamay and bluecrane all have it, and haven't had problems with it, and it comes all-region.

Anyone else got suggestions, recs or anti-recs? We're also either gonna have to get a new tv, or a converter to run the dvd player through, as our 20+ year old tv isn't really set up for the modern contraptions *g*. We quite liked the widescreen Grundig tvs they had, though I seem to be the only one who likes the flat screen type.

So, dvd player looking fairly likely, tv is a maybe ;)

Yep, I've got that model Pioneer and it's excellent. You will need a decent tv though to get the most out of it. New ones mostly all play ntsc as well as PAL so you'll be able to play anything from anywhere. very cool.

Oooh, another endorsement, thanks! What's funny is that we can play NTSC on this ancient tv, as it has a manual vertical hold adjustment knob. We will get a new one eventually, we've been expecting this one to die for a while now, but it just doesn't :)

They don't build them like that anymore!
