And when playing the player's HDDVD is unbeatable, the sharpness of detail, the correct color reproduction, so to be displayed HD material. For this price, the player is recommended for both DVDs and of course HDDVD's no compromise. The only drawback, the remote control could with lighting sein.Und the casing looks a bit cheap. The Lüftergeräsch much is described with the new firmware virtually inaudible.
