this be a great all-in-one unit for people who do not want component with wire everywhere . the functionality of the 5-disc changer be excellent . if you load audio cd in the tray , it play the disc all the way through then skip to the next disc . switch dvd be as easy as press a button on the front panel or remote control . the sound quality be better than I expect , honestly . it be not terribly loud , but the quality of the sound be very good . each speaker have a functional tweeter along with its full-range speaker . the subwoofer be strong enough to balance the sound from the satellite speaker and contain the amplifier circuitry . a small fan on the back of the subwoofer spin only when need and be silent . the picture quality be very good as well . a 12-bit d-to-a converter make for smooth video quality . output for composite , s-video , and component -lrb- interlaced or progressive scan -rrb- be available . the dvd player also feature three audio input so you can hook up audio component . two of the input be analog -lrb- rca-type -rrb- and one be digital -lrb- rca\/coaxial-type -rrb- . it would have be nice for a video input so you can switch video source like a game system . this player can play almost any disc . CD , mp3 , divx , dvd , VCD , SVCD , CD-TEXT , mpeg-4 , and other . it handle record media -lrb- e.g. , cd-r , dvd-r -rrb- quite nicely and can be make region-free with the same key sequence as the previous model . this be a very good dvd player if you do not need a lot of volume .
