Extending my B&O System

26 replies

Oh, reading all that is said about the DVD2, I have one one order - should I cancel the order? I have now sold my DVD1 so if I don't provide a dvd player in the house the kids will go ape!

Some helpful suggestions?

I have a Panasonic DMR-EH60DEB which has built in Freeview, DVD-R including supporting DVD-RAM, Videoplus and SD card support along with a 200GB HDD which works with the DVD-C. Similar models available for about £200. Add a DVD-C and you will come in under £350. Good menu system (for a non B&O!!)

Again, thanks everyone re: the DVD2 and of course my most peculiar Lab 5 vibrations (posted elsewhere). I have just come from visiting a Melbourne DVD2 dealer. I am happy to say an honest one with integrity. They know about my set up and actually agreed with Peter. They said "we would prefer NOT to sell you a DVD2". I can also confirm it is on a half price offer if you buy a Beosound 4 + speakers. They can't give them away here !. They advised me to go for a Panasonic DVD Recorder and keep my DVD Controller (which by the way is not sold in Australia. When they saw the DVD-C they instantly put in a stock order for some and are having trouble with STREUR not wanting to sell these ???

 As good a pointer as any that the DVD2 is on its way out...I think.....

I think I am going down the route of what Peter has, a Panasonic DVDR + my DVD-C. The only reason I am changing DVD player is as my current Panasonic A360 which has been an amazing machine has taken such a pounding from the kids that it is starting to be unreliable.
