Need a new one as the old one has loading problems and is now in the

I have just read that SCART will automatically select the DVD on the TV.

That can happen with HDMI too. HDMI can also pass through
your TV remote control so you don't need a separate one for the menus etc.
That's an optional part of the HDMI spec (called CEC) so it will depend on
your TV and DVD.

Of the 32 for sale at Currys, three have SCART. SCART would massively
restrict your options. (OK, a few of those at Currys are 'portable' players
with screens etc. But the rest are regular players)
