    What can I say great picture and sound, reads all media from cdr to dvd+r and has no problems with vcds and svcds.

    I Purchased the Sharp DV740S at the local Media Market for 139.00 Euros about a month ago. The Region Hack found on this site worked perfectly. PAL DVD Playback on PAL TV and NTSC DVD Playback on NTSC TV works well. However conversion of a PAL DVD or NTSC DVD to the opposite standard TV shows some delay and jumping of the picture. Not real bad but noticable. Also , the unit is 220 V only.

    The DV740H is a nice looking dvd player but, like Steve, we are also on our 2nd player and are still having problems with skipping/picture freezing. Steer clear.

    With its excellent sound and picture quality, this unit holds its ground with more established makes.

    Officially, the unit is a REGION-2 player. I am pleased, however, to inform you that the link below has information on how you can modify your Sharp 740H DVD player to multi-region.
