The perfect DVD player if your interests go beyond your "region"
At a good price, you can get this player, put into it almost any DVD-Video from anywhere on the planet, and watch your movie.
The only caveats are: you need to go through all of the setup items with a good understanding of what the characteristics of your TV display are, and what the setup items mean. If you merely accept all the default settings you will probably be disappointed by seeing a distorted picture on your screen.
Also, there is no claim that the player will handle SECAM.
If the setup is done correctly once, you should thereafter expect trouble free viewing for a huge variety of disks.
If, for example, you want to watch a PAL-encoded disk from overseas on your American TV without worry, without fiddling with settings, withot frustration - then this is it. You pop it in, and play it. All the problems are solved by the initial setup menu.
