Sylvania DVL1000F Up-Converting DVD Player
great but doesn't pass dts
First for the reviewer that stated that upconverting doesn't work and only Samsung has one clearly does not know what he is saying.  Actually Sony. Denon, LG, Zenith, Apex, Oppo, Panasonic,<br /><br />Toshiba, Philips and many more off brand companies produce upconverting players.  For many of us waiting for the dust to settle with Blueray and HD DVD to settle and prices to drop, this is a good way to maximize standard definition dvd viewing.<br /><br />This player is basically a clone of the Denon 1920 less the SACD.<br /><br />Great PQ and plays everything that I have thrown at it.  The only negative I have is that it does not pass DTS.  The advertisements state it does but the owners manual clearly states it does not and I have verified that.  I opened this puppy up and found a chip with a DTS logo so it seems Sylvania decided to disable this feature so they would not have to pay a DTS fee.  Bought it with the Amazon discount of 30 dollars so the total was 69 dollars plus shipping.
