"Still a wonderful unit, Even Five Years Later"
Pros: Great Sound, Amazing Picture, VERY impressive Sub for a "Boxed" system,
Cons: Large Remote, Weight of Unit
Summary: While many folks seems to be claiming this "Protection" issue I think its far less frequent then the masses may lead you to believe.
I bought this unit around the date of its released and it has served me for thousands of hours of DVD playback with no issues what so ever.
Far to many people seem to forget this unit is also a receiver and requires a very well ventilated area in order to work well and avoid overheating, please keep that in mind when you are positioning the unit.
The sound quality of this unit is what sold me in stores, I normally like to avoid the "Boxed" aspect as much as I can, but the sound was clear and very sharp and the speakers unlike many boxed systems do not feel light and cheap.
The Sub is the best Sub I have seen in a boxed unit and its output rivals the quality I get out of the CV unit I have on my primary TV,
Originally this unit was wired via RCA's and the quality was very good, the options for S video and Component were a nice bonus of which I used all of them at one point or another, believe it or not 80% of this players life saw it pumping video through an S-Video and the quality was still crisp and excellent on standard DVD's.
Being that it is an all in one the unit is very weighty when compared to others and at times the large fan on the back of the unit can be rather noisy, but in open air setting I rarely heard the fan and when it was on the sound from the movie normally far outweigh it.
At around the five year mark my unit is still giving me excellent sound and picture quality and if you can get your hands on one and you take care of it you will be rewarded.
