I bought one from Audio Adviser about the same week Thunders got his. When I hooked it up though, I discovered the 480P situation mentioned by Thunders and could not make use of it. This meant that even though I have a High Def big screen TV, it will not take advantage of the progressive scan feature the Camelot does so well. No sense keeping it, so I returned it to Audio Adviser for full refund. No loss except shipping, and I learned a lot. Did you know that 1080 Interlace is good for HD, but if your TV does not also have 480 Progressive capability, you can't use the full function of a progressive scan player like the Round Table? My Denon 5000 will stay until formats are settled.
Be advised: Most people who sell these types of equipment do not know all of the compatability issues! You must research some yourself.......Good luck. Bob
