Summary: Good when it worked
Review: Produced fine quality images on my HDTV -- when it worked. However, it has suddenly gone on the blink after less than one year of fairly light use, failing to recognize certain DVD's and occasionally displaying mysterious onscreen messages telling me it is "searching for software updates". Needless to say, it's been sent back to the manufacturer for attention. While parts are still under warranty, labor costs are only covered for 90 days. With current new product prices and technician billing rates, it may not be justified to repair the thing. Bottom line is that I am not terribly pleased with the quality of this product, and would recommend considering similar alternatives from other manufacturers.

Summary: The best!
Review: This player is the best I've run across. It plays just about any disk media, and does a superb job. I have a JVC TV, and a JVC VCR. Connecting them with AV Comu-Link lets me put the disk or tape in and sit dow. The televion turns itself on, selects the proper set of inputs and plays.
The picture quality is excellent,( you can really tell a bad transfer to disk ). I don't have a HDTV, so I can't vouch for the progressive scan, the regular picture is plenty fine for me.
The DTS/ 5.1 outputs give you beautiful surround sound. Even through a small system like my AIWA bookshelf set-up- it is the only one I've seen with 5.1 inputs (but that's another review).
The set-up menus are easy to navigate and very user friendly.
The zoom and angle features are great, and the "strobe" button lets you see things fram by frame- AWESOME!
A terrific player and a great price.
