Should a EP-10 still dare to enter the world of HD-DVD so today? Why not, when one appeals to the current films. A better entry into the world of HD does not exist. In addition, Blu-ray is mature at the moment not yet 100%. I therefore believe that the EP-10 for a legitimate transitional solution.
The EP10 even I can thoroughly recommend. Connected via YUV on my HD-ready projector, it offers a very good HD picture with many details and great colors. About HDMI he is also from Dolby TrueHD as PCM stream, which also owners of older AV receiver to benefit from one of the new audio formats.
The performance when playing standard DVDs, I find not quite as good as the deinterlacer of the EP10 is a pure Flag reader and manually select the movie mode in the Setup menu has no effect. Therefore it the function of the deinterlacer determine whether the movie-mode flag is set correctly on the DVD to be played. If this is the case, then knows how to please even the deinterlacing of DVD. This is the reason why I do not rate the EP10 with 5 stars.
It is worth mentioning that the EP10 unlike the EP30 and EP35 can be switched via a firmware update for DVDs codefree that is, he plays then with a few exceptions DVDs on America and other regions with deviant of Europe Country code.
So all in all not a bad purchase. The player itself is very reasonable especially for HD-DVD, you have to just be aware that the choice of films is no longer zoom in. Until then mature one year Blu-ray, is certainly not a bad solution to enjoy HD already.
