Lasonic DVD-7050 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
GREAT player -- other reviewer didn't read instrucitons!
For what it's worth, I love this DVD player. It's the last of the Lasonics that are made in Taiwan (the newer models are made in China). It's solidly built, plays beautifully, has lots of setup options (picture quality, speaker setups, etc). <br /> <br />The reviewer who gave it 1 star and returned it because everything was red didn't realize, he had to push the \\"P.Scan\\" button to switch the player's video output to progressive mode, otherwise the picture will be all red. If you have a progressive TV and hook up the DVD correctly, you must ALSO push the \\"P.Scan\\" button on the remote to tell the player that you want a progressive connection, otherwise the picture will be all red (happened to me, then I realized it, pushed the button, and beautiful picture). If you have an older TV that is not progressive, no worries, you just use hook it up like an older DVD player. Lots of options, includes 5.1 outputs, plays Divx files great. Only thing to note: it will not play Divx files with \\"soft subs\\" (files where the subtitles are kept as separate files, not in the same file). Only about 5% (at most) of the Divx files I come across are like this. Most are just self-contained AVI files, and this machine playes it wonderfully.  Great picture, solidly built, buttons for lots of the functions on the front, well laid-out remote, region-free right out of the box (yup, no need to google for the special codes)... especially at this price, I'd grab one before they're gone (at the time of writing this, it is $36.99). I have an old Yamakawa that I loved, but of course it doesn't do Divx... this is a nice deck that is well made, and at the price, an absolute no-brainer to get, even for a spare player. <br />
