DVD Feature = Fraud

I purchased this machine because someone at Circuit City convinced me that you by video equipment from video Brand names and not Audio Brand names, and this might still be true.

Could be better, Could be worse.

I bought the Hitachi P305U DVD player at Sam's Wholesale Club with some left over Christmas money. It was purchased because due to the fact that was all that was left on the shelf.

Decent looking component, moderate features.

Skips and "cubes out" occasionally.
