General Comments
WOW!! For £100 you can't go wrong. When I bought this Alba DVD103 DVD player from Argos they told me that the Alba DVD103 had been replaced by a bush model. They claimed it had the exact same spec. After reading 'WHAT HIFI' magazine, I realised the Bush model was not region free, it only played region 2. Also it does not play CD-R or CD-RW. I took it back to Argos and managed to get a ALBA DVD103 from another Argos store. DONT FORGET!!- IT PLAYS CD-Rs AND CDRWs!!!!
The DVD player is super. Managing to play DVDs, VCDs and CDs effectively, you cant question its quality. I found out about the player in What Hifi magazine which raved about it.
It plays DVD's like a true Sony machine, but for half the price. It does everything anyone could possibly want from a DVD/VCD/CD machine. I have rescently purchased a DVD-RW machine for my PC which copies DVD discs. The Alba plays them perfectly. If you are going to buy a DVD for under £200. ALBA DVD103 should be top of your list.
