  I read it. They only judged it on DVI. I need a player that is all region, PAL-> NTSC and has reasonable sound. I've got that now with a JVC. I'm not going to upgrade unless I can get all of the above plus upconverting, without requiring digital out. That limits my choices.
  I can wait.

    Well if you got a DVI, or HDMI input on your TV you can get all that and it is NTSC/PAL. If you only have composite or component inputs on your tv you wont be upsampling to any thing. YMMV

      But the TV "upconverts" via PixelPlus. Works OK on the JVC for PAL> NTSC.

    If you find an all region PAL> NTSC better than JVC post here. I'm in the exact same boat.

      That does all that and upconverts via componant out is the Momitsu V880-DX. I've been debating that one for a while. Yes, I've read the threads, and still haven't decided, since I don't know if it is better than the JVC. I should probably assume it is if there is upconverting(?). Its quirky even if they did get some of the bugs out of the earlier version.

        I don't know what to make of this player. The threads at avs put me off of this player for now. I hate "buggy" electronics. It's one area of my life where I want to plug things and and just have them work.

        I also concluded the Philips player that came out last year was too quirky as well.

        Since my screen itsn't very big and my TV does a pretty good job upconverting, I'm sticking to my Pany and my JVC for now.

        But I remain hopeful...someday...

  ...is the region-free/PAL> NTSC conversion.

  I still use my trusty RP91 on the 34" Philips. This set has no DVI, but OTOH, it does have upconversion through PixelPlus...so...maybe....

  Don't have much interest in this as a music spinner.

  Thanks for posting the thread. When I get ambutious I'll give it a read.

  Not about to jump on any bandwagons yet.
