Walmart having a sale right now on the 3disc apex 5131 dvd changer only 59.95 plus tax has component video and plays everything complete specs listed below. Good deal won't last long the walmart here only had about 5 left of the 50 they had on hand the clerk told me.
Walmart does'nt usually stock that model in store only online so maybe they just want to get rid of what stock they have left!! I have had mine for a couple of days now its nice not having to get up when your watching a 2 or 3 disc vcd/svcd
*note also its firmware upgradable maybe they will provide support for mpeg 4 in the near future

Plays both NTSC & PAL
Size: 16.7"(W) x 4.6"(H) x 13.1"(D)
Weight: 12lbs.
I would just like to point out that "Plays both NTSC & PAL" does not mean it will convert the signal! If you have an NTSC TV and you play a PAL movie it will be in B&W with a bad AR and misplaced image!
Other than that it looks like a sweet deal, I hope its available in Canada!
Yeah they have the AD-1110W for a little less than $47 at my local Walmart as well as this AD-5131. I was undecided on which to get, but decided to get the 1110W, as I really didn't need the other features anyways, and don't need a carosel for 3 CD's. I already had a DVD player, so all I needed was one that would play SVCD without VCD header trick anyways.
