This is a really solid dvd player with one really bad drawback. There is no way to disable the automatic disc skip, which makes it very difficult to use it for both dvds and cds. For example, if you want to use it as a cd player, and the cd comes to an end, it will automatically move to the next disc. If the next disc is a dvd, you will soon hear a movie trailer blasting out of your speakers. This is particularly bad for people like me who use my cd player to go to sleep to. It will continue to move to the next disc until you stop it with the remote (no way to adjust this, trust me, I tried). Also, the sound levels for cds and dvds are markedly different, so it involves constant adjusting of the volume. In the end, great if you just want to use it for dvds, not so good if you want to use it for both. Unfortunately, it is pretty much the only 5-disc player on the market.
What's great about it: Good picture
What's not so great: No way to disable automatic disc skip
