three thing :  1 -rrb- there be no sound input , as other reviewer have point out . personally , I do not mind , as I have my VCR run through my home stereo system already . it would be nice if I could play my CD , tape , and record player through it , though .  2 -rrb- the default sound level be quite loud , but this can easily be adjust on the `` Preferences -rrb- Dynamics '' menu . you can only get to this menu if there be not a dvd in the player , though , which be just stupid .  3 -rrb- the unit I order come with the parental control setting on , and the default password give in the manual -lrb- `` 2001 '' -rrb- be incorrect . I hope that the tech support phone number will be able to help on Monday , otherwise I will have to send this back .
