Interesting that it upconverts all signals to 780p format. Built-in Digital cable decoder (card access). Digital Optical output to sound system-excellent.

Due to direct cable input (and only sound lines output/aka no video output) you miss out on recording (unless you split the incoming line).

Beautiful, bright, large pictures. Slew of inputs including 2 component, and HDMI interface (looking forward for Sony's DVP-NS975V DVD player).
