Negative Positive
Title: Very disappointed!
Review: Since this was the number 2 rated DVD player in the 2008 CR Buying Guide, I thought I had nothing to lose. Wrong! The Standard definition picture is pretty bad; I knew that from the review. The 720p setting provides an extremely clear picture; I also knew that from the review. However, the disc tracking is absolutely horrible on this thing. A tiny smudge or scrape on a disc gives this player fits. Even discs that have no apparent defects won't play. I performned an experiment: Discs that wouldn't play on the Pioneer DV-400V WOULD play on my PS2 and a $30.00 Magnavox cheapie I got from WalMart. Needless to say, I'm returing it. The one thing that did work was the USB port. I really enjoyed putting podcasts on my thumb drive and playing them through my stereo.
Is the review positive or negative?
