I've had this player for close to a year now, and it's an absolutly amazing piece of equipment. I'm very picky with things like this, and this was my third DVD player. I'd previously returned an RCA player, and a Hitachi player before settling on this one. No disapointment whatsoever. Great for those of us with a 6-ch input receiver, but no built in decoder in the amp. It gives you the ability to adjust almost every different aspect of the picture right on the player. You can adjust the volume and delay on every individual speaker, as well as tell it what size your speakers are. If you like lots of surround sound effect, just hook up some decent speakers, and tell the player to crank up the surround sound volume. Likewise for the subwoffer setting. The remote is GREAT and gives very easy to use features. While I'm completly satified with this player, here's my complaints with it...

1. it's only a 2x player, so when you fast forward in double speed, you can see... Read more

This is an awesome DVD player, and I haven't even been able to use all the features. The remote is real easy to use, and the remote will also turn your television on/off and you can adjust the TV volume and channels. This player offers great picture and sound quality (I haven't used the DTS mode), and being able to choose which kind of television you have to improve the picture quality is a great feature. It also does a great job at playing scratched DVD's. This is an expensive DVD player, but it is worth every penny--especially if you really love DVD's!

A great DVD player with superb quality. There are no annoying lines traveling across you screen either. If you have and S-Video connection (with is on most newer TVs) I suggest you use that. However there are RCA jack connections. I lpve the sound too. If you have a good stereo on your TV or the external speakers it's like having the same experience of a LOEWS Cinema! Words do not express the greatness of it. Get it and see for yourself. Oh and it also plays CDs and maybe CD-R(I haven't tried CD-Rs on it yet).
