I do, however, have a few more questions of my own. 1. Is this machine VCR friendly? 2. What do you think of the image produced by the converter? I've heard that some built-in converters produce inferior images. 3. Do you have any experience with the reliability and reparability of this brand?

It is a switchable region player, ie., you _select_ the region code to play the disc (defaulting to region '0', no region). This is an advantage in that the new Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE) for Region 1 DVDs that will prevent their being played on region free players is not an issue for this player. With respect to NTSC and PAL, this unit includes an NTSC to PAL converter on board so no multi-standard monitor is required. Other geeky features: composite, S-VHS & component video outputs, Progressive Scan capable, built-in dolby digital AC-3 decoder, coax or optical audio out, variable aspect ratios, etc. Cool...very high geek sheek factor... available at: http://www.planetomni.com/MSDVD_MLTA_dvd-n996_DTL.shtml On Friday, February 8, 2002, at 02:14 PM, LLTI-Editor wrote: > As for the PAL issue... we hook ours up to the video projector which > handles PAL.
