And I promise when rating it to remember it is a DVD player and not my long lost Alpha 8 Cd player. For the price you will be hard pressed to find another unit at this level for DVD and CD performance. The other reviews may metion that the remote is basic, but if want a remote that has the basic functions of volume and play ect this more than adequate. I purchased this along with the AVR100 and have it conected with Van den Hul cables. My next upgrade will be the purchase of 2 P85 power amps to Bi amp the lot.
CD quality is excellent using the onboard DACs, and DVD video is superb.
The remote is a bit naff, and very similar to the AVR100's remote which means you are forever picking up the wrong one. When I purchased the DV88 and AVR100 at the same time I was able to get a good deal with a CR9000 learning remote thrown in. Although it does not support either the DV88 or AVR100 nativly it can be taught at all the functionality you need and makes the whole package very usable. Top marks to audio-t in Southampton. Video playback is impecable, zooming and the slow motion features show the quality of the video components.
