Very good, considering the price
I bought mine 11/2001. Compared to some of my friend’s dvd players that were purchased near the same price, it was great. The sound and picture quality were pretty good.

Great until it broke
I bought this player a little over a year ago, mainly for the ability to upgrade the firmware to region-free.

MP3 compatibility
Will play MP3 off CDR. Random function is crippled. Will only play randomly from one folder. No display or use of enbedded MP3 header tags. Correctly decodes VBR MP3.
