"I just received this DVD Player, and it is a very nice system. The sound from the speakers is very nice, not too overbearing, but it really puts you into the movie. One thing to note- if you are planning on connecting this system to a HD TV that can support a resolution of over 480P, you MUST use a HDMI cable to connect to the television. You cannot use component cables, the system will only allow you to choose 480P as the max resolution when using component cables. One other note- if you are looking to use the audio on your television instead of/in addition to the system speakers, you need to use the HDMI connection.
The picture quality is nice, however the 1080P upscaling does NOT look like 1080P. Maybe I need to spend $150 on a better HDMI cable, but I don't think that is the case.
Great unit for the price, really good sound and a good picture. I highly recommend this system. Excellent value for the money."
