Plays everything - Optical Input - 1080i & 1080p - Crystal Clear Sound!
I chose this model because it seemed to be the only one with an Optical Input and capable of playing all types of media.

It's taken a few days getting to grips with the menu system. First of all, trying to get the picture you want from a film was a little tricky because you have so many choices. This could either be a good thing or bad thing. After much testing, I think having so much choice is a good thing. For example, you can upscale your DVD's to 1080i or 1080p depending on your TV. You can tell the DVD player what TV your using, ie, LCD, Plasma, etc. And then you can even change the Brightness, Contrast, Colour, Sharpness, etc. All the stuff you usually do on your TV. After many hours and many DVD's I finally managed to get the picture I wanted. And what a great picture this player can produce. Very satisfied!

The sound is easier than the picture because there isn't as much choice. You can still alter the volume of each speaker, you can add more bass and there are functions to change the EQ for heavier sounds or clearer sounds, etc. But all-in-all, you don't need much choice because the sound you get from this player is excellent! Very sharp, crystal clear, great bass and there's even a function for playing films at night when everyone else is in bed.

Overall....Very happy with this player. It's black so it looks great with my LCD TV. Sound = Excellent. Picture = If you play around with the menu's you can get a great picture. Oh, and the Optical Input....My XBOX 360 sounds amazing!!!

Very Happy!!
