Where to buy Sony 400 disc DVD changer ?

Not Ebay!

Presumably would have to import? Does Europe have this in the current catalogue? Any help on where to find it would be appreciated.

Its only manufactured for the US market. therefore you`ll have to import it, or have someone import it for you. Either way, you won`t esacpe duty/tax as its payable somewhere along the line into the EU.

Sony stopped making multichangers for Europe in 2000 after no demand.

There are a couple of 220/240v multi disc units manufactured for the asian market, easially obtainable from many online Hong Kong shops. Again, you`ll have to pay duty/tax...

Thanks Justin. I suppose I'm going to have pay big if I want a new one, or risk Ebay!

Re: Where to buy Sony 400 disc DVD changer ?

Here are a bunch either in Uk or Europe so no duty. Also multiregion modded.

http://www.jvb.nl/jvb.asp?cur=1&leve...rchstring=Sony

http://www.eurodigitalplus.com/acatalog/Sony_DVD.html

Only problem is they are not the newer HDMI models, for some reason these are supposedly 'unmodifiable' for Pal output. I suspect that's more a matter of not having the necessary chips to make the mod rather than because it can't be done. Either way I can't find anyone offering a PAL capable multiregion mod for the HDMI players. But the ones above all do NTSC PAL multiregion. The eurodigital has Pal progressive the jvb doesn't but has UOP skip instead, means you can skip all those irritating menu, copy right messages etc you normally have to sit through.
