- Excellent Purchase
- I bought this refurbished, but it looks and behaves like a new machine. The picture quality is outstanding, I love the dimensions, and it played PAL disc out of the box with no hesitation. I plan to get myself a nice high-GB external hard drive and rip all my CDs to it so I can USB port it to this player and be able to play all my music directly through the Bose 123 it's hooked up to. I'm very happy with this product!

- The perfect DVD player if your interests go beyond your "region"
- At a good price, you can get this player, put into it almost any DVD-Video from anywhere on the planet, and watch your movie.
The only caveats are: you need to go through all of the setup items with a good understanding of what the characteristics of your TV display are, and what the setup items mean. If you merely accept all the default settings you will probably be disappointed by seeing a distorted picture on your screen.
Also, there is no claim that the player will handle SECAM.
If the setup is done correctly once, you should thereafter expect trouble free viewing for a huge variety of disks.
If, for example, you want to watch a PAL-encoded disk from overseas on your American TV without worry, without fiddling with settings, withot frustration - then this is it. You pop it in, and play it. All the problems are solved by the initial setup menu. - 2008-05-24, 14 of 14 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Value
- This DVD player lives up to all its promises. It delivers excellent picture and sound quality, is very easy to set up and use, and best of all plays DVD's from all countries of origin. Now, we can enjoy our favorite British comedies and dramas. For the price you can't beat this player.
