Title: DVD -R Media Warning, Upconversion?
Review: I purchased this DVD player to hook up to a new 37" HDTV. I used the up-conversion feature but I didn't see a difference compared to my 7 year old DVD player (which I also hooked up to the HDTV) which was the whole reason I bought this in the first place.The player will not read any DVD-R's that was burned on cheap DVD-R media (I get an "Unknown" error). I upgraded the firmware, no difference. Why my 7 year old Apex DVD player and my super-cheap Dynex portable DVD players can still read the DVD-R's but this player cannot is beyond me. It does read better quality DVD-R media (Sony for example).Finally, the DVD tray does feel cheap and the tray does not eject all the way.I figured I would see a marked improvement buying a better brand name up-converting DVD player compared to my old player but my old player works just as fine (or actually better considering my DVD-R collection is useless with the new player).
Is the review positive or negative?
