Do you have an A/V receiver, you'll be running the audio through?
New or older receiver? Model number?
I ask, so we'll know if you need the analog outputs, for the HD audio tracks.

In the latest Home Theater Magazine (12-2008) they reviewed it. It would be best to see if can read a copy.
Some highlights:
- No resume play if you shut the machine off.
- No option to pillar box 4:3 material
- Enhancements only available thru HDMI
- Flimsy build quality
The review was kinda hard to figure out. On a smaller screens the enhancements work better, but they mention artifacts, ringing and halos.. Then again they said the picture was crisper than the Oppo DV-980H, but they liked the Oppo's picture better.
But at Amazon these folks seem to like it.

do DVD upconverters really work? I mean, well, enough to see a noticeable difference between a regular dvd that has been upconverted and an actual blueray or hd dvd? Plus is there one that play divx or avi files?
