Fortunately, remote systems are cheap and plentiful nowadays. This is a pretty old system, and I doubt many people look in here now since software players have long taken over the PC-DVD market. I guess if you've found this at a garage sale or if a friend of yours wants to get rid of his, then this review may be helpful. But not very well. The picture quality on my monitor is generally pretty bad, and Creative support was never able to help me improve it.
Sound quality is another issue, too.
I had a Monster MX300 sound card for a while, and the only way to hear anything was to turn my speakers WAY up. Once I got a Soundblaster, though, there weren't any problems this way. Admittedly, it's the best DVD player I've used on a computer, but if you have a PC and want to watch DVDs on it, don't bother with a hardware card. If your CPU is fast enough, just use a software player. It'll save you money, and chances are it won't be long before you buy a standalone DVD player, anyway.
