I have the power now since Christmas and have somehow felt compelled me not build or when connecting the unit, take the manual read (device from the foil supplied Scart cable into the intended "slot" on both the DVD player and on the TV - or VCR, ... - connect and push plug into electrical outlet, power switch, insert the TV set to the AV channel, DVD, sit back, finished). Was simple, as with other players as well. No workmanship, remote control works properly even from 5 meters, I had neither burned DVDs (DVD-R and DVD + R) or in real DVDs problems also SVCD and VCD are good, image quality is not objectionable. What really surprised me was the ability that from a burned DVD without hesitation MP3 tracks can also be played - the only very few devices in the segment! For this I can still watch on TV the menu with the MP3 track list including names -. Really very comfortable. Would recommend this device, the negative experiences I can not confirm (for me are also spelling errors in a manual not so bad, but our language is really very complex. The main thing, the player runs and runs and runs ...) !! !
