Review 1 of 4
Price Paid:
$220.00
from on line site, VideoG Summary: I purchased this used after reading several rave reviews. I have used a Pioneer DV-AX10 for the past 4 years, this is a 5k player. I also have a very nice high end set up.
I just want to say that this little $200.00 player is simply awesome!! It blows the Pioneer out of the water!! The Pioneer tore up at least 3 times during the tenure with me. It cost me over $600.00 for repairs and i was not going to go through another!! It is now in its new home, the trash.
The XP-30 has great just an awesome picture. I feed a 480p signal into a Faroudja DVP-3000 scaler and convert it to a 960 signal to the Sony G70 CRT projector. Even my wife talked about this being the best DVD picture we have watched on our home theater system.
I wish it had a little more flexibilty on picture adjstment. But, one has to give up a little with this price unit.
It may not be the bast out there, but in the price range it can be had for. You will be hard pressed to find a better picture. Once it is set up with something like Avia or Video Essentials the picture is simply stunning.
Just think, If Panasonic can do this on a low cost unit. What would or could they do if they wanted to build a no holds barred unit.
One thing that is a huge blunder for me. This remote simply SUCKS!!! I have a very, very dimly lit room. It is a dedicated home theater room and trying to locate buttons and functions on this remote in the dark is a complete joke!! Strengths: Picture is great, full 480p image. I can't detect artifacts, edge problems Weaknesses: The sound outputs are pretty much non existant. Limited control flexibilty on picture and sound. Remote sucks!!
