The player I have at the moment is nothing special, but does have all 5 speakers and gives off pretty good sound.
Plus, my missus won't be too happy if I went out and bought another player.
Really is not worth all the hassle

I'll give the shrink thing another go....but also I've just remembered my TV has an option to convert PAL to NTSC...well I thgink it does. Bloody should do, cost enough

But thanks for your help anyway boys

£30 from tesco's.....might have a look at that though!!!!
