Think you'll find that the DVD2100 is made by YamaDa not YamaHa. A bit naughty of them but the player still looks ok for the money. Excellent deal on the 330 though which I'm currently toying with getting.

Thanks,

BB

You are indeed correct Bassbin...well spotted.

As for the Tosh 330; go for it.
The sound and picture quality is the best I've seen on dvd, it's even better than my old Tosh model.

Just got a pioneer 656 in silver from these guys. M/R, £295, free p+p, best price I could find, delivered in 48hrs (ordered after 12noon). Had to wait to order as they were out of stock, but got my order in and wow, got it quick. Free scart is a bit naff, but a good idea. Also got a cheapie with karaoke function (for wife), under £70? Great for singing 'practice'. Seem like a great outfit.

What's their email address ?

They've got multi-region Sony's and I want to know if the 'user prohibitions' have been switched off, because thats what I need.

I rang 'em up and asked but the guy on the phone sounded clueless

Brox,

The model I had before was the Toshiba SD200E (twin disc tray jobbie).

I thought this was a great player, but I have to say I'm more impressed with the new 330 model.

Received my SD330 from Digital Point this week. Great player but anyone thinking of picking one up from DP, take note.

1) These units are NOT UK spec. They are supplied with a 2 pin plug and a 2 > 3 pin plug adapter.

2) The instruction manual is not in English although a photocopied English version is included.

No Toshiba warranty registration documents are supplied.

But for £98, who cares?

I think u must have just been unlucky with the one u had because mine is full uk spec.

I had full English intructions, registration cards and a 3 pin plug.

digital-point are a trading name of electro-centre!this still didnt stop me buying a la95 portable for£579 which plays any disc ive so far thrown at it!!
Mine is definately a british spec and not euro,so maybe they just source items at the cheapest price regardless of origin to keep profits up?
If it goes wrong i'll just have too see what the after sales is like,but so far,top service and very speedy delivery

Have you noticed that their website doesn't give a contact email address?
