Harman Kardon DVD 31 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Good Dvd player but dont listen to Electronics Fan "Paul"
The reviewer below me ( Electronics Fan \\"paul\\" ) does not know anything about electronics. -- \\"Let me begin by saying, while this player does NOT offer HD upconversion, it outperforms the Sony and Samsung upconverting HD players. I carefully compared the three models on my Hitachi 51 RPTV, and found this to clearly be the best.\\"  <br />- First off, he's making the comparison with his hitachi rear projection tv. Of course upconverting dvd players (sony and samsung) won't look good on this tv. You will only notice the vast difference with plasma or lcd displays. If you have a rptv don't bother with upconverting players.! <br />2nd, again going back to his rptv. --\\"I saw absolutely NO benefit from using a high-quality DVI connector as opposed to high-quality component cables.\\" - Unless you have hd resolution, component and dvi, even hdmi, will deliver a very similar result with any of these cables. <br />Anyway, now onto this player. My cousin has the older model and I must say the picture quality is pretty good with his plasma tv. So im assuming this newer model has new features that should make it an even better player.  <br />If you dont have a high resolution tv this is an excellent player but a bit pricecy. But if you do have a high res tv, you may want to look at the upconverting players. They are also a lot cheaper
