Check past postings for details, but in short, the Magnavox players are the same as the Philips players in Europe, and they are the favorites over there. >I am somewhat confused about the different >Magnavox models.

The one you saw at the store is probably the 2040. The explanation of model numbers: 1040 -- Entry level unit. Narrow chassis. 1041 -- Replacement for 1040. Few changes. 1051 -- 1041 with remote control. 2040 -- Next model up from 1040. 17" chassis. Nicer looks. 2041 -- Replacement for 2040. Few changes. 3040 -- Next model up from 2040. Remote control. Different cosmetics. SL = silver, BK = black. > > Frank Owen > (..ihnp4!ttrdc!fjo) -- Steve Schley ihnp4!mmm!schley Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
