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.

The freezing/skipping playback is down to a dud batch of SL101H DVD loaders that Sampo installed on some Sharp DV740Hs. This is an issue that was most prevalent in the DVE611 in the US, but which is being rectified if customers return their players to Sampo America. In the case of us UK customers it's sadly a case of return to vendor. It may be better to obtain a refund, and buy the player from another retailer, as invariably you'll just end up getting a replacement player with a loader that has the same duff qualities.

<br>Cheapest retailer we found at Area 450 (the Sampo fansite : http://www.area450.com ) have come across is probably Empire Direct for £130.
