Franc:
I understand what you are saying, and your points are valid. I was
just trying to give a more overall "out of the box" impression, from
the standpoint of being a casual video watcher. My primary passion is
music and vintage stereo equipment, and had I been reviewing piece of
audio gear, I would have been more likely (and more qualified) to get
down to making remarks down to the actual electronic component level.
But you do make a good point about identifying chipsets in order to
identify problems, both actual and potential, to be found with similar
players. I only wish I knew what chipset my Panasonic DVD-S53 has. I
am a bit loath to open it up, since I just bought it and it is still
under warranty, for whatever that's worth.
