Customer Reviews Average Rating:  out of 5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good Machine, but don't buy this model
This is a very good machine. It will upconvert regular discs to their highest resolution. It works great with a HDTV and a HDMI cable. I bought mine when it first hit the market, so the prices are fabulous. So why not buy this model?

1. Only plays at 1080i. 1080p is the highest resolution. You can get the A20/A30 for a similar price.

2. a LOT of freezing, especially rentals. I don't have many problems with DVDs I own, but rentals freeze 95% of the time.

I am a college student and have movie nights every sunday night with my friends and they have all noticed a significant difference. The upconvert is slightly better, I would ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Two thumbs way way down
I have to say - I have been awaiting my first HD-DVD player for some time with great expectation, and this past Xmas my girlfriend bought this player for me.

The first experiences I have had have been really disapointing.

The unit constantly locks up for seemingly no reason requiring hard power downs (yank the plug). It gets very confused as to what resolution it really should run in when playing regular dvd's. The HDMI function is not really usable as it is (I ended up running component ... Read More
