5.0 out of 5 stars Great Machine, if you know what you are doing, March 16, 2002

By	Philip J. Pollina (Long Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this machine for about 1 month and have been very pleased with its operation. The video is great compared to my old Sony, and DVD audio is astounding (if you implement it correctly, ie. external bass management for satellite speakers or using all full range speakers.) Unfortunately, there is only one DVD audio player currently that comes with dvd-audio bass management, and it is almost 3 times the price.

The fact that someone would complain that this machine does not have digital output for DVD audio makes their review suspect. DVD audio is only available in analog output. Digital output on dvd-audio discs is a courtesy for people who don't have dvd-audio machines but would like to hear music in Dolby 5.1. The sampling rate is much lower, closer to a typical cd thus not giving you the resolution that DVD-A's are noted for. If you are not sending the sound via the six analogue outputs, you are missing the point of having a DVD-audio player.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so good for MP3s, December 8, 2001

By A Customer

This unit does it's job for playing DVDs. Normal picture quality is fine although I'm not able to take advantage of it's progressive scan capabilities with my regular TV. The zoom function is pretty cool. The remote is ok to use with my JVC TV but it has no "last channel" button. The unit is noisy when switching disks - sounds like it's going to fall apart! It will only play MP3s on a "closed" CDR, and will not play at all from a CDRW. Also, it will only play them in order, from 1 to whatever. No random, no program. There are other units (I think Harmon Kardon makes one) that have better MP3 support. On the plus side, I was able to get rid of my 5 CD player. It has a very good manual. I can live with the noisy disk changing as long as it doesn't break, but I give it 3 stars because of it's poor MP3 support (which was a selling point for me)

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it! What are some of these people talking about?, August 22, 2002

By A Customer

Great picture, awesome digital sound and 7DVD at once. It even lets you switch them when one is playing. I read some of these reviews and getting annoyed with some of the bitching:
Too Loud
Don't like the buttons
Better remote
Why doesn't it make me coffee

I love the one I have. I paid 190+shipping on UBID and am very happy with it.
