1 It Works as Advertised
It does what it says it does; I've tested it with a European DVD (from Germany). It's picture quality is comparable to my MUCH more expensive Pioneer DVR-520H (multi-region playback is the one thing the DVR doesn't do).
The only differences in playback functionality, compared to my DVR, are pretty minor, such as how you go about doing frame-by-frame playback. The DVR has a seperate set of buttons for this function while on this unit you must first press Pause and then FF or Rewind (big deal!). Also, the DVR has sound in its slowest FF mode while on this unit there is no sound and its slowest speed is much faster than on the DVR. Again, big deal.
On the other hand, there are also minor advantages on this unit; both units have 4 FF and Rewind speeds but unlike on the DVR, if you keep pressing FF (or Rewind) past speed #4, this unit cycles back to #1 (the DVR just stays on #4). Very minor differences both positive and negative.
If you're on a budget or simply want a one-trick-pony (multi-region) DVD player, this is a good choice.
PS You can find a better price (using, for example, pricegrabber.com), but then you take your chances with a perhaps less reputable dealer.
