I'm Multi-Region, Baby!

Well, the new DVD player is up and running! I wasn't sure how much setup it would need, but the answer turned out to be pretty much none at all. Yanked the connections out of the old one, stuck 'em in the new one, plugged it in, and ten seconds later I was watching a Blake's 7 disc. (I played the commentary track on "Space Fall." The commentary wasn't really all that exciting, but it's definitely interesting to see that show on DVD. You can see the low quality in which it was filmed in crystalline clarity. Heh.) The big advantage to this machine is that it'll play pretty much anything. Rewriteable discs, mp3s, DivX, jpegs, you name it. The disadvantage is that it's got kind of a crappy remote, at least compared to the wonderfully user-friendly remote the Toshiba had.

Speaking of the old DVD player, it's still working most of the time, and I was planning on sticking it on the TV in the bedroom to use there until it dies completely. Except the bedroom TV is an old model that only accepts coaxial input, and while I'm certain I have an RF modulator around here somewhere, I can't seem to find the damned thing. Grr. If I can't find it, I'm going to have to decide whether it's worth it to shell out for a new one to use with a DVD player that might not be long for this world, anyway. I hate making decisions like that.
