I've had this player since 2001 and it still plays well. What I like most is it has a sub-woofer connection on the back of player along with the other input and output jacks. This is a feature very hard to find on today's DVD players. Video and sound is great - even after all these years. I have 600+ video movies and have played/replayed these videos over and over for years. I definitely got my money's worth out of this system.
