- Price - Ability to read CR-RW's and MP3's from several types of computer programed writer programs. Easy CD Creator, Plextor's Plex Manager 2K, Disk Dupe, and Nero5. - Coaxial Digital Output has pretty good output. - Works fine on brand new DVD's - Component Output is excellent - 96/24 output works

Halting DVD Playback on my first 10 DVD's lends you wonder if the local Rental place has below par product, but it's this players fault! - No Optical Digital (Toslink) output or 6 way outputs, oh well... - No real 3-2 pull down - Analog Video Output is similar to watching an old VCR

This better than "basic" DVD Player is barely acceptable for a casual user but...what ought to be an pretty good DVD/CD Player becomes a mixed bag at best by halting read problems with less than perfect DVD's and CD's. I put in 10 different recently released DVDs and CDs from Sream 3, to Hannibal, to the digialtally excelelnt Pearl Harbor and this #$%^& thing would freeze somewhere along the way. I looked for screatches and took the disks back complaining to the Rental Manager about them being messed up or something. Now I owe him and apology, it was this player. After the first 10 disks it started to get smoother but not exactly perfect. Eventually, about disk number 18 it has been cleaner sailing, but I would expect much better from a company like Sharp. As for CD's it takes every type of copied CD I have thrown at it and never misses a beat. The output is above average for a CD player but not excellent. It even works for MP3 files but not exactly like my custome made "hper-Audio Com
