I had voher a Sony DVD players and was very pleased. This surpasses my old DVD player when it comes to picture quality still a lot besser.Ich did not think it goes even sharper. He acknowledges properly jpg discs makes no problems with VCD, SVCD or MVCD, Mp3 he also reads data DVD's. With Divx there are no problems, he reads them einwandrei. Unfortunately, he can without a little trick no Xvid files abspielen.Erst if you change the Four-CC code to Divx he reads this without Probleme.Sony could here bring a small update that these files can be read without a trick this player. I guess that this should not be a problem indeed. But otherwise, I can tell you put this player very fond.
