Summary: Nice DVD player plays anything I threw at it.
Review: I got this player about a week ago. I was looking for a DVD player to use with my Samsung HDTV and to play both NTSC and PAL DVD programs. Occasionally I need to view Divx programs that my friends share with me. This player meets all my expectations - good picture quality with HDTV up-conversion, Divx and Xvid MPEG-4 support, NTSC and PAL auto adapting.

So far I tried original NTSC and PAL DVD and VCD, home video on DVD-R and DVD+R, SVCD, Dvix movie on CD-R, and pictures on CD. It played everything without a glitch.

I am connecting it to my Samsung HDTV with component output. The audio is connected to my receiver using an optical fiber cable. The picture and sound quality is really good. I also tried it with a computer monitor (Viewsonic VP181b) using the supplied DVI cable. The picture in 720p mode is amazing. This DVD player may eventually force me to bite the bullet and upgrade my HDTV again.
