Just in case anyone was interested in this, it's got good feedback from the=
avforums...

http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=3D&threadid=3D5941= 3

It's got the same chipset as the Arcam....

They seem to like it, I'll post back a review if I end up getting one (once=
I've made up my mind about which plasma screen!)

It does - the 'stop press' flyer says the only other player on the market t= o
offer progressive scan on British (Region 2 PAL) is the =A31000 Arcam DV88+= .

Like others, I'm very sceptical of unknown brands, but they've agreed to le= t
me play with it for a couple of weeks to see if I like it.

Does it really have PAL progressive scan? I thought due to continuing
legalities, the Arcam DV88 was the only player with a legal implementation<= BR> of this? Things could have changed though or their implementation is
'unofficial'?



With my plasma, I found no difference when I tried the PAL progressive
feature of the DV88 on a region 2 disc. The Plasma has to do the conversion=
of interlaced to progressive anyway - I think it does a good job from what = I
can see :-)

All

Whilst talking to RS about plasma screens, I got onto DVD players as my
current (Sony) one is nearly 3 years old and can be exchanged for 50% of th= e
original purchase price under the terms of the RS Supercare warranty. = My
old player didn't have component outs, hence why I'm looking to replace it.=

The guy in RS recommended the unit above - does anyone have any experience<= BR> of it?  It's got every possible output, and has PAL progressive scan, = which
RS claim is the only model under =A3800 to have this.  Also has DVD-Au= dio,
Kodak photoCD and MP3, and they claim the picture is excellent - all for =A3199 multi-region.

The other option would probably be the Pioneer DVD656A at =A3329, which has=
SACD playback, but no progressive scan - does this really make such a big difference on a plasma screen?
