This is just an update to my previous post.
I have had the player for 3 weeks now and I have viewed over 50 DVD's with it.
Most of them have been rentals from Blockbuster. This player has continued
to perform very well. I have had some problems with freeze ups with very dirty
discs (one would think that Blockbuster would keep these suckers clean!). The
only two discs that froze up due to scratches were The Rock and A Simple Plan.
Both were pretty soiled with finger prints and had numerous scratches. Once
they were cleaned off with a lint free cloth..they played flawlessly.

So I would suggest that you clean your rental DVD's before using them in any
player. It is a shame that people do not handle these rental DVDs with care.

This player still gets 5 Stars!

I have been very satisfied with this product.However...please know that the '500, WILL NOT pass DVD DTS signals to a processor. Everything else has worked perfectly, (unlike my sony '925 receiver, but thats another review!).

To much money for what you get. Great audio, very bright picture, but has a lot of digital artifacts in the background(looks like the background is shifting) even with its component video hooked up into my Hitachi UltraVision, there is two much fuzz around the edges. And its not my TV. Much rather spend less money and get a Toshiba 3109. Best movie to preview a DVD player is " A Bugs Life", it will help a lot when making a purchase.
