Great features, one fatal flaw
Despite all the great features -- multi-region capability, plays almost any disc, etc. -- this unit has one fatal flaw.  That is, when it's turned off, it continues to draw enough current that it stays warm to the touch.  Initially, although I can't imagine why it should need to do so, I didn't think it was a big deal. <br /> <br />Then a few months later, the unit conked out.  It powers up, but it no longer puts out a usable signal.  Lots of snow, no color, rolling picture, etc. <br /> <br />I can only guess it's because something in the electronics overheated and failed. <br /> <br />So, if this unit appeals to you, I highly suggest plugging it into something that will cut power to it when you're not using it.  Something such as a power strip or a switched outlet on your home theater receiver or cable box. <br /> <br />If you plug it into the wall or another always-on outlet, don't be surprised if a few months later you find it has baked itself into becoming a high-tech doorstop (like mine).
