Great interlaced player. Stripped down version of the venerable dvp-S7000. I gave my 3000 to my Mother a few years ago and it's still kicking. I recently started letting her borrow copies of my backed up DVDs and to my surprise they have played flawlessly in it.

Just wanted to add more data for this player. Backed up two movies, one on DVD+R and one on DVD-R using 321Studio's DVD X Copy Xpress, a Sony DVD burner (DRU510A), and Fujifilm media. Neither the DVD+R or DVD-R worked. However, it does play CD-R. It's been a great player for the past 6 or 7 years, but like the previous poster said, it's showing it's age.

Great for VCDs, Great for purchased movies. I've owned it for six years, and it's still solid as a rock.

Not too surprised that it won't handle DVD±R/RW though, the standards hadn't even been developed when the player was made!

All in all, a great player for it's time (and still is, depending on what you need).

Used a Sony DRU-500A burner and Sonic's "MyDVD" to burn to both DVD-R and DVD+RW (only two mediums I had available). The player would not recognize either. It appears that the only DVD medium not tested for this player is the DVD-RW, which most likely will not work either.

This has been a great player. Ahead of the pack in its time, but it is showing its age.

At the time of release, it was number 2 in all DVD players (small list). Now with the new technologies, it is showing its lack of compatibility. Interesting that it will play CD-R but not CD-RW. I have tested newer players that would not read CD-R (laser color) but could read CD-RW (looks more like DVD silver...again laser color)

Cannot read all portions of a multi session disk...just the first session.

So beautiful picture but no new features, etc.

Also not compatible with DTS...not a problem for me, I don't even like DTS at the theater, but might be a problem for someone else.

Using a HP 2001 DVD burner and HP DVD+R media I was unable to get an MPEG2 home movie to work. Player does not recognize the disk.
