played the CDmusic in "direct and stereo" modes the direct gave a very clear and clean sound stage, but my speakers are only good to 30 hz and my sub does not get used in direct. Stereo allows my sub to kick in and the music sounded fuller which is expected. The soundstange again is just amazing. My complaint is that it started giving me artifacts in my video after the 3rd DVD that I played. The audio was unaffected. Also I found the overall qualities in movies to be great at all resoltions, but in CDs the music did not really pull me in. I felt this player was crying to be played on a tubed amp, that might warm up the sound some.
I have returned it for a replacement since I got it at about 30% off retail and the DVD quality was worth it to me. I would not buy this player at retail, I believe there are better values out there.

You need to add more information to make it more helpful, such as how much you paid / how much you can get it for. What playback is like, does it come with speakers (the way your review reads it looks like it does, but clarify), does it upscale to 1080p, what leads does it need etc.. more info the better. Let me know if you add more : ) KEP
