Great PlayerI just received my yesterday. E "was launched in 10 minutes. This is necessary to remove the old DVD player. Upscaled DVD looks good. I have not bought the DVD, but these are images and sound were amazing.
I could see about buying the unit without it in the first branch concerned where all approved claims and a lot of shoes last year's models. However, it seems the device'm as fast as the old DVD player when loading or on a standard DVD or Blu-Ray I.
