General Comments
What can I say great picture and sound, reads all media from cdr to dvd+r and has no problems with vcds and svcds. The one I got was a later one which has a better loader than the earlier ones so I've not had any problems. I upgraded the firmware for macrovision free and its also been upgraded for multiregion. Absolutely superb. Sadly I don't use it so much now as I have a samsung home cinema system but if someone wants a copy to vhs or I've got a tricky disc that the samsung won't read the sharp always saves the day. The player is actually made by sampo.
