Good Multi-Region DVD Player??

Hello, All:

Is there a good multi-region DVD player for sale anywhere?
Google/froogle doesn't seem to pull up anything....


TIA!

Philips 642 at Wal-Mart, $70.


Not "good" but better than the low-end stuff from Cyberhome, etc.

Interestingly, one fella on amazon.com thought that, with PAL discs at
least, the Cyberhome offered better video quality!

Thanks for the ref, though...but apparently the Philips 642 doesn't do
DTS...is there a multi-region player which does DTS? And via laser
TOSlink, too, preferrably.


Thanks!

Thanks for the ref! Unfortunately, amazon.com user reviews note the
short life expectancy for this machine.

Is there a multi-region player which does laser TOSlink DTS, too?

No one seems very interested in multi-region players anymore...I seem
to recall it being a perennial favorite topic on AVD years ago.... =)

If anamorphic PAL isn't a concern to you I have a region-free Panasonic
RP-82 for sale.

If yes, then I'd recommend either the Momitsu DVD-V880DX:

And the Oppo OPDV-971H:

Fine print for the Oppo:
Please note: Unlike Momitsu V880N, OPDV-971H does not support DVI-I, i.e.
cannot use any DVI to VGA adapter, it does not support 480P, 720P or 1080i
via the component connection.

Buy a modified Pioneer DV578A. Does PAL/NTSC (including proper anamorphic
conversion), DTS, SACD, DVD-A, and has TOSLink output.

I own the Cyberhome CH-DVD320 and it works well with PAL or NTSC DVD's. It's
inexpensive too. I owned the 300 and returned it because it had some problems
with the menu of a German PAL disc. I think the 320 is the better model.

Mike -- I have considered buying this Philips player. It seemed
to get decent reviews on Amazon. For the price range, at least,
what's your beef with it?
