This one looks really good. I just came back from Blödmarkt, looking for the
Loomax Divx-DVD X-50, which was recommended at vcdhelp but unfortunately
they dont have them any more. I would really like to test it with some of my
files before buying but unless I find something else here in a shop I'll
take the Xoro.

Im not sure I need this :)
The player will only be connected to the TV (through Scart I suppose).
But thank you very much for the information.
