Query: Fine performance and excellent value

I wanted a multi-region DVD player to replace an ailing 5 year-old Philips, this player has surpassed my expectations. Very compact size, the lack of a display is not a material handicap as the on-screen messages are clear. The player has shown no difficulty with at least three regions to date (use the region override explained in other reviews here). Set-up is simple and allows you to change the output screen size, perfect for my widescreen. Plenty of cable outputs and while the remote is fiddly, it has good functionality - eg. the separate button for sub-titles. Picture quality is as good as I have seen with DVD. Why spend more?
