A 5 minute wonder.
| This machine had great potential-if only it wouldn't shut itself off after playing for 5 minutes. Maybe I just got a lemon but buyer beware. |

Usability problems
You would think that for an expensive player, they would spend a little effort making sure the thing was easy to use. First, to even get it to play using the HDMI cable, you initially have to hook it up to your display using component cables, go into the DVD menu, adjust its output to HDMI, and then hook up the HDMI connection. Otherwise you just get a blank screen. It took me hours to figure out because the manual didn't say anything about it. Second, the tray that holds the DVDs is horrid - the sides have no cutout, so it is tricky to take the disks out. And the HDMI output is always stretched to widescreen - which is terrible because many of my DVDs are 4:3 TV series. It's hooked up using component cables right now (which look as good as HDMI anyway).

No award winner, but does the job
I got this because it had a great price/feature tradeoff. I needed an HDMI-type player for a Samsung DLP TV. It works well for this, but does have it's quirks. The most annoying is the occasional glich when changing chapters in the DVD program - a momentary freeze frame, then it moves on.
