The picture and sound quality (with close-fitting earphones) are both very good. It plays region 1 and region 2 DVDs with no problem. But there are shortcomings. There appears to be no way to adjust the aspect ratio and classic 5:4 pictures are distorted (too wide). Technically it is sound but the ergonomics need more attention. The screen, being hinged, is awkward to open. (finger-slots at the sides would improve this). The labelling of the controls is meaningless and the handbook is next to useless so that the owner must proceed by trial-and-error. Not particularly good value at the moment but later marks will probably improve.
