Have not come across any issues with my ch402 - old version now I think....
-r/-rw/+r/+rw/vcd/svcd/jpg/Mp3.......

Any new DVD player out that is cheap will probably do fine. Im using a Samsung DVDS224 with no problems to date with -R on Riteks. Princo's can make it a good bit slower. I've just bought a £47 Plu2 DVD player with Progressive scan in an auction on Ebay. Normally these sell for £119.99. I bought it cuz it has a brand new loader in it which means it will play anything (plus it has a really cool blue display).

My advice is to take a dvd+/-R and ask the assistant if you can try it works for me

Yeah, i've used TV out and its pretty dire. The new Elta DVD player plays Xvid too which is pretty cool.
You ever used Plu2 DVD Players. They are very very good. It will play virtually any disc you throw at it. I've just got one.

The Kiss standalone player only plays divx 4 and 5 i believe and whatsmore, it says its Progressive scan, but not for PAL just NTSC, wich make that feature pretty usless here :>(
