Summary:
This DVD player takes some getting used to, but has the best audio and video of the four players I have owned. The 3D surround works great, if you only plan to use a few speakers.Once you get used to the remotes scrolling button, you can easily move through the players menus. It also has dual analog outputs, which makes using an older stereo system easy to use. I hooked up a set of Altec Lansing computer speakers to one of analog outputs, and the sound was very good. The MP3 feature works well, and the player easily reads CDR and CDRW discs made on my home computer. The only thing missing is an optical audio output. This player costs less than many single players, and those may even have fewer features. I recommend this player to anyone, because of the price and the features.

Strengths:
A five disc changer, with MP3 capabilities. The video and the sound are both very good.

Weaknesses:
The remote takes some getting used to, but it has most of the features a DVD player needs. The cabinet doesn't have a menu button, or a jog and shuttle button.
