Sound is Good but DVD Player has issues

In regards to the "Play Prohibited" message, if you backup your DVD's using CloneDVD or Nero Recode, it should play in this dvd player. However, if you use DVD Decryptor or ImageBurn for backups, they will not play after the firmware upgrade.

Sound quality is good for the price. DVD Player is a multi-format player meaning it plays both NTSC and PAL formatted discs

DVD player is horrible. I have it connected via HDMI. Video goes blank while audio is still present during movies movies. Happends with all types of media that I have used. You will need to turn the system off and turn it back on to get the picture...

Theres better

Great system for a non-main viewing television I actually ended up hooking this up to a 27" LCD TV I have in my bedroom. Works good for viewing movies in bed. Small Size would be nice for a Dorm, or such space.

Good sound ; HDMI

Odd humming noise when turned off ; Price

plays divx and xvids, upconverts dvds well, great sound when running a cable box or external source through

where do I start? when watching dvds or divx/xvids the screen randomly goes blank, sometimes for only a second or 2, others for minutes on end. the only way to get the picture back when it goes for a long time is to turn it off and back on. then you...
