Strengths:    Great remote, great picture, great sound, great price.

Weaknesses:    Sometimes, very rarely, if I use scene selection to skip to a certain scene, the sound will cut out for a split second at some random point in the scene.

Bottom Line:   
I've owned quite a few DVD players, Toshiba, Pioneer, JVC, etc. While I can't test the progressive scan picture of this player yet, I can say that the picture is brighter than my previous players. Blacks are solid while still showing detail. As for the sound, I definitely hear a clearer separation between speakers, and a deeper, drier bass. Even pro logic (which I only hear during the menus) actually sounds good, whereas before I used to wonder why anyone would even bother listening to a pro logic track

Strengths:    Set up is a snap. All connections are logical and clearly explained in the manual. A Photoviewer to boot!

Weaknesses:    None found thus far.

Bottom Line:   
I'm very impressed with the performance of this unit. The remote is logical and well thought out. The progressive scan is super and on my HDTV monitor gives a vibrant picture.

Strengths:    progressive scan technology. accurate movie soundtrack reproduction. nice remote lay out. Sturdy construction and pleasing to the eye.

Weaknesses:    no coaxial input...like who cares...optical is the way to go.

Bottom Line:   
The sd3800 is a very good progressive scan dvd player. After going progressive scan, there is no going back to interlaced images...unless it's 1080i. At any rate, the movie sound tracks are very rich and percise...and I know it is not due to my reciever because it is a cheap kenwood:). I am not into music. Hence, i don't know how good this player is at playing cds. If you are strictly a movie person...great sound and great images await you with this player
