Well I'm halfway through reading a very long book, but feel I must feed my addiction to Ciao, so I'll write about one of my favourite films of all time SouthPacific.......yes, I know, I'm a soppy romanticist! !

The machine is DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 compatible, has a 3 step zoom function, multi speed slow motion, on screen displays, and a rather nice touch is supplied with a Scart lead in the box. The machine offers up to 16x Fast Forward and Reverse playback, with slow motion in ...
