Excellent picture via HDMI (despite lack of upscaling), sublime DVD-audio sound and home cinema surround sound (has on board 5.1 / Prologic II decoding), very good CD replay quality- I sometimes struggle to tell the difference from my Arcam CD92

Takes time to recognise CD. Doesnt play SACD, or mp3 on DVD (only on CD). Occasional problem with front panel buttons (cosmetic rather than functional). Some firmware versions problematic.

A great combination of picture and sound, particularly now that bargains can be found
