Comments:
I'm very impressed with the build quality on this remarkably-affordable player... with only two small caveats to the buying masses:

1. I don't believe there is a way to disable Macrovision with this unit, but am not 100% sure. If anyone out there has found a hack through the remote, I'd appreciate it if you'd post it here.

2. More seriously, I believe the Medion 40288 has some difficulties with multi-branching DVDs. For instance, my wife and I recently got the region 2 release of the 2nd season of '24', and if you attempt to play the episodes with the 'insert deleted footage' special feature turned on, the Medion sputters along, playing blocks of the show punctuated by odd blank spaces, and seems to lose a few minutes here and there. If you instead just tell it to play the original aired version of the episode without splicing in the culled scenes, it plays everything perfectly. I'm going to try to find a few more multi-branching DVDs in our collection and will report back once I've tested them.

Overall, though, it's an amazing little machine. It plays all media formats we've tried (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW) with no problems whatsoever, which was our main criterion as we hope to archive some of our old VHS tapes of recorded TV shows to DVD at some point. Also good with MP3s (superb audio codec, by the way; MP3s sound better being played through this DVD player than they do coming out of my computer, which is saying something).

Anyway, hope this info helps someone.
