"Not so upconverting, not so operational"
Pros: Easy hookup, easy VHS to DVD copy
Cons: Unreliable, clumsy interface with Samsung HDTVs
Summary: I bought this for three reasons: 1) I have a Samsung HDTV and wanted an easy way to operate the DVD player, 2) I wanted an upconvert player that could also play CDs, 3) I wanted to copy old VHS tapes to DVD so I could rid the house of VHS once and for all.
This player didn't solve any of the three: 1) the interface with the TV is clumsy, confusing, and inconsistent, 2) the upconversion isn't nearly as good as I've seen on other players, 3) this unit quit working once and for all before I was able to copy my VHS tapes.
Don't buy this product if you're looking for: 1) an HDTV tuner. This product has no tuner; 2) crisp, clean upconverted DVD replay; 3) a player that will last more than 3 months.
