Review title: Sometimes you get what you pay for
Product review: Bought this for my Father on Christmas. Ran into a number of issues1) This device does not want to start up with Component Progressive scan. If you attempt to power on the device with only Component cables connected, you get a black screen. You have to hit the 'Progressive' button on the remote every time you power up.2) So far, we've had a 50% success rate playing rented movies on this player. On the movies it has problems with, the problem seems to be in the middle when the device is switching layers on the DVD. The rest of the problems were with the player not handling scratches and smudges well.
