Sound is good, Only with DVD+R and DVD+RW the movies start stucking around half the movie.
My advise is not to use +R or +RW media with this device (I tried numerous brands of DVD's) |

Nice equipment, but will not make your ears bleed.
I had a cheap Bluesky DVD player before with better MP3 on screen menu and played all my svcd perfectly but with this piece I have problems with some home made svcds.

Was region-hacked buy vendor in Coventry. Have got Fuji CD-r to work fine and also a Bulpaq Genertion 4 DVD+R playing backed-up copy of High Fidelity.
Sound quality is superb at this price level and the picture is as good as many £1000 players.
Most VCD's play OK, only one was problematic, a far-east import. |

| Not that impressed really. Played Verbatim DVD+R and DVD-R and most brand CDRs, but struggled with Maxell DVD+R, and TDK DVD-R. On a sound quality level, the system sounds a bit tinny and lifeless. Have now swapped the unit for a JVC THV70 which is much better on all accounts. |

| Tried out DVD-R Princo x1 and x2. Worked Fine. Also DVD-RW Pioneer and TDK, x1 and x2 without problems. VCD and SVCD even with 90 min CD OK. CD-Audio and MP3 (CBR 192). Not so many Audio and Video Outs. |

I have tried this with DVD-R's and DVD+R's and they work first time. I even managed to get it to read a damaged DVD that even my PC DVD drive wouldn'r read.
Excelent! |

Got mine and tested over for a weekend -
I got problems with PRINCO DVD-RW's
it seems to me that they in itself are marginal as they are readable only on a Pioneer A03/04 and no more pc dvd-roms
OTOH Verbatims (and I think all other major label DVD-RW's) do really great.
I think the reading mechanism inherits much from the FX21 and FX41 series.
The amplifier is improved compared to 500 series
The design is eyedrawing.
Compared to DAV500 it is 1/2 weight and 3/4 size.
MP3 - browser is clumsy and not easily found.
Too little info is output to TV - I would prefer to see what radio station I am on etc. - what other reason do I have to leave the TV on all the time? Only the DVD/CD info could bve outputed to TV.
For a one piece really small "junk" it performs OK

Very good sound, excellent picture.
There is a fan, but it's pretty quiet. And I'm quite fussy on that score.
Entirely happy with my purchase!
