Another annoying this is that with every dvd that is played, the subtitles are always on and I wish that feature could be turned off. The remote is adequate, but seems to have many buttons that do nothing. The on screen menus and the manual are ok, but really basic. Playback is smooth, but becomes a little jerky moving from pause to play. Component and S-Video out is nice.
Price is excellent.
Dealer was wonderful. Picture and Sound on the DVD were excellent. The CD player initially had some small background ticking noise. The ticking problem was not present with the second machine. For 99 bucks, its a great way to get into a bargain DVD player with component outs.
