Overpriced and Underwhleming
[ Posted: 2007-12-06 ]
With the advent of the sub-$200 HD-DVD players flooding the market, the honeymoon period for this nasty little beast is long-gone. Don't be tempted, as I was, by its ability to play JVC HDV files natively. It is spotty at best and truly unnecessary given the alternatives available.
If you do dive in, be prepared for the laugh-riot butcher job of the English language that is the manual and the remote is hopelessly arcane. Boot time for this makes Haley's Comet seem all too frequent and simply navigating the menu is enough to drive all but the strongest of us to anti-depressants.
A/V connectors are loose and unreliable and the DVI output is severely crippled. Front-side buttons are cheap and flimsy and seem to have a high false-positive ratio.
This has been on the market for some time and is ready to be retired. It's time to let it move on. Let go.
