very good video,value for the price I paid for it,and it was
new in the box.

I wanted to post a follow up for this player.I have had it
for more than a year, and have had no problems with it.I had
one disk that cause the unit to hang up(the wild wild west)
but not all the time.The picture on this thing is great!
Just to pass on some info,I changed the S video cable.I was
using the monster S video that came with it,and never had
a complaint about the picture.I changed to cable to the AR
S-video cable.what a change!!!!! This cable was only 14.79
from A4L.com.

Excellent DD Decoder, Picture is fantastic, dts compatible, reliability, cables, slim design

Menu surfing is (very) slow, slight jitter when changing layers.

I not going to say that this is the best player just because I own one, but, I must admit, it is a very good dvd player.

I bought it because of the built in decoder, which is fantastic, the sound is distinct and crisp.
The picture is very good. Excellent color and contrast, extremely sharp.

Unlike other people who have submitted reviews, I haven't had one problem with this unit. Either I'm extremely lucky or you guys are extremely unlucky, either way, I am pleased with my purchase and am confident that this player will endure a lifetime, approximately 1 year in audiophile years.

reliability

After playing only ONE disc, would not recognize anything but audio CD's. Any DVD's would give an "incompatible disc" or a "no disc" error message. Based on other reviews, this is not a unique situation. The low profile of the unit was attractive and the bundling of "upgraded" cables was a bonus, but the reliability of the unit left little to be desired. The Proscan player ($269) was returned and replaced with a Sony DVPS530D ($284).
