General Comments
I chose this for a birthday present, I'm not a big hi-fi techie but here goes.

I originally wanted a new CD player as mine was old and I wanted one with optical output so I could record minidisks.

I decided that I might as well get a DVD player, they play CDs as well, I looked on the richer sounds website and found the 551 to have all the features I wanted.

so far I have had no complaints at all, as it was only intended as a CD player I have been very impressed with the quality of DVD video.

hooked up though my amp I get amazing sound, admittedly like other folk I did have some problems when I was playing Monty Pythons holy grail, but being a computer techie I wasn't going to give up, I simply fiddled with the audio settings on the remote and presto!! it worked a treat!

the CD sound is good too, much better than my old player.

I would recommend this to any first time DVD buyer.
