Perfect for beginners, it wont dissapoint. It is very easy to use, took me about an hour to figure it all out. I played the Matrix all the way through and it worked like a charm. Their TV always had a kick ass picture. I really don't have enough time invested in this product to say much more.
Picture looks great, sound if great , gold plated plugs.
With all it connections and gold plugs, great looks, ok remote,and fine picture. Im very happy. I strongly suggest to check this player carefully as it's value is the best in its class and the minor weaknesses gives it his 4 star overall rating. Excellent video quality. Plays DVDs that other players have problems with.
