I bought the Sylvania upconverting DVD player right after New Year and was very pleased. Just over a month later it would not power up. from Amazon.com I settled on HDMI with the Progressive Scan operational for viewing because it is the most flexible, with high quality video and sound. One particular feature I like, NOT FOUND ON OTHER BRANDS I HAVE TRIED, is that the DVD can be stopped along the way, left in the player, the player completely powered off... then restarted, picking up right where I stopped before powering down. No annoying icons remain on the screen after zooming. from Amazon.com Pros: With HDMI you have an absolutely incredible picture with standard DVDs. Great price. from Newegg.com The player is very nice but I cannot get it to go into 1080p mode. I have it connected via HDMI and I turned on Progressive mode, but when I cycle through the display modes 1080i is the highest. from Amazon.com Other players I've used don't allow that embedded caption track to reach the set. Playing a Sopranos DVD recently, this type of closed caption wouldn't work with either my Magnavox or new Phillips players. They work fine with the Sylvania units. A very big plus for me) from Amazon.com I bought the Sylvania upconverting DVD player right after New Year and was very pleased. Just over a month later it would not power up. from Amazon.com Pros: - No problem reading Netflix, or other marginal quality, DVDs - Two zoom levels, around 200% and 350% of original picture size from Amazon.com Put this unit in our basement for the kids to use. Great little unit for the money! from Amazon.com The player is very nice but I cannot get it to go into 1080p mode. I have it connected via HDMI and I turned on Progressive mode, but when I cycle through the display modes 1080i is the highest. from Amazon.com Component Video, A/V and HDMI.
