Since 1 year I have this DVD I can simply hire me for his behavior (obviously only with HDMI) and confirm that the old DVD (made "house") unread on players / recorders read no problem with this device which allows to make a new enregistrement.Seul my player / recorder Panasonic (he claimed the "skin of the buttocks") gives me a beautiful and sharp image. I recommend it to those who have an HDMI port on their televisions.
