Time remaining and stuff seems to be a feature sorely lacking these
days, the last three players (including my current 950) have all been
missing it, plus also my Panasonic DVD recorder.

Apart from that, the annoying "HDMI audio not supported" message every
time the sound track changes and having to manually switch between
PAL/NTSC I've had no real problems with it, oh, and the remote is the
must be the most unresponsive ever, it'll will certainly do me until the
HD-DVD/Blu-Ray thing sorts itself out.
