My DVD standalone JVC has start to fail reading MP3 and SVCDs. I am changing it for a new DVD player.
What I like is something that gives me the oportunity to play:
Must be Zone Free
It must accept well PAL and NTSC titles
DVDs (off course)
VCDs (without problems on CDRW and CDR)
SVCDs (" " ")
MP3 recorded cds (" " ")
And if possible DiVX (I don't have so much hope for this last one)
I need coax sound digital out.
I like to have the oportunity to see on screen the names of the sounds on an MP3 disk (this was one of the things that I didn't like from my JVC, it played the disks but the OSD was very poor.
If I can get some quality player could be nice (I am litle dated on standalones, I now there is some things like overscan or something called "like" that that can give better image than the normal "economic entry level" product, but this is NOT entirely necesary.
I am in Norway so I need european SCART connectors or SVIDEO.
Any help GREATLY apreciated as always!

Are Sony ones not picky with CDR discs? I have read here that they take only CDRWs.Originally posted by Armagan1

these are latest models of Sony which has no problems os reading cd-r's and cd-rw's the only negativity is SVCD. You cannot play them in normal circumstances unless you do little tricks..

hmm... I wouldn´t recommend any BRANDED DVD Player ... I don´t know how expensive they r in Norway ... but in Austria I saw a player for 130€ (Schneider) which would fit your needs + has got a build in DTS DECODER !! --> the best if u own a Pro Logic Amplifier !
the cheapest start @ 100€ (some time ago Sony NS DVP 300)
but as u mentioned ... it has got probs playing CD-r ... newer ones don´t have this prob ... I think ...

I am not worried for decoding capabilities, I own a Sony receiver that decodes DTS and Dolby Digital so the only thing that I need os the coax or optical stream output on the DVD. Can this Schneider play DiVX?
no..I don´t think that any DVD standalone player plays Divx ... maybe there r some out there ...but I´ve never seen one
-->the player I mentioned has got an optical + caox digital out +5.1 chinch out
.... all of them have it (except 5.1 chinch)..cause most of them don´t have a build in DTS (AC3) decoder

Pionner DV-343, an old gem from Pionner...though with no mp3 playback. Great player for VCD & SVCD"s!
.::When the gods want to punish you they answer your prayers::..
tke a look here at the latest JVC m8
h**p://w*w.savastore.com/products/?CsOp=15&code=10247849
only £120
Once Pioneer was really a pioneer in electronics maybe it's still bu not in home theater systems. Tle look, style and the quality of latest Pioneer products are dissatisfactory. In car stereo, they're still great. I guess Sony is great in Europea market.. If you still insist on Pioneer it has a model 444, it plays everything you can imagine (but Divx) of course. You can even play SVCD. But the overall quality of the stuss is sucks!!

I have been looking the w**.vcdhelp.com players database and as I am located in Norway there is a Grundig player that looks very good. The serie of 2 or 3 players from the Grundig Xenaro GDP (5100 and other models).
Seeing that not DiVX is avaliable yet, my primary focus is the compatibility and the good OSD capabilities. I like these Grundig ones because they accept long MP3 filenames on screen and good compatibility for SVCD and VBR Mp3. I have to check price still, but this is a good german mark.
the Grundig Xenaro is one of the best players out there ... I saw a test ... they said .. " The Grundig Xenaro is able to play nearly everything which looks like a disc"
but I´m sure that it isn´t one of the cheapest

Give a check here for all models and to see if there are any hacks.------h**p://www.vcdhelp.com/------

Take compatability reports with a pinch of salt.
Some reports conflict and some are just plain wrong.
The reports are from visitors and not reviewers so be warned!
Otherwise this is an excellent site.
