after two month of own the sd-43ht , about half of my dvd would not play . the display would read `` no disc . '' if I repeatedly turn the power off and on again I could get some of the disc to play . this system can play other region code dvd , but not all of they . some of my region 3 will not play , even before the dvd player break . the dvd player also take way too long to load a disc . the picture be lousy . any bright red color will distort and jitter on the screen . the sound be not much better than tv speaker . the subwoofer be boomy amd flat sound and much louder than the rest of the speaker . the dvd player do not have audio output , so you can not play a movie without the speaker that come with the system . the digital input be too large so you optical cable just sit in the input and fall out if the dvd player be move . if you connect another dvd player or game console to the sd-43ht through the digital input , the audio will go out of sync for any Dolby source . dt play fine though ... also , the video out connector be also loose so you can not get a signal to the tv without hold the cable . -lrb- yes , I try other cable -rrb- the angle mark can not be turn off , which be very annoying if you have a disc with multiple camera angle . I read the entire manual -lrb- horribly write , by the way -rrb- and there be no way to remove the angle mark . oh yeah , do not buy this .
