I have the device since approximately one week. I mitlerweile almost any format tried once and could not detect any weaknesses so far. He reads everything properly. Be it plays DVD, VCD, SVCD, MVCD, DivX 3,4,5 or XviD, everything from the player properly. The sound is also OK. I have no surround sound system and therefore can only assess the stereo in my TV. But in my ears it all sounds wonderful. MP3 CDs play the instrument without problems (am on the new firmware excited; let him have a few other formats support such as OGG Vorbis). My Conclusion: For the money you get a better DVD-DivX-MP3 player. Therefore I can only recommend the device. I am very pleased with my purchase (even if I put a few euros more than I would have here).
