Rly happy with this product, bought it few months back since I've read that the Panasonic has pb the best upscaling quality on the market and the DV-400 or DV-410 were not that available.

And I am impressed with it. It is basically an DVD player that is region free and does a damn good job at upscaling (tried some media centers and a laptop w/ HDMI output - the DV-600 is definitely better).

Also of the reasons for which I choose the DV-600 is tha optical output that was no longer available w/ the DV-410 model. I know that there should be no difference between digital coax and optical but I had problems w/ coax in the past.

Another extra feature that the 600 series have is sound virtualisation: it'll make even a simple stereo AVI sound more or less 5.1, while also providing some advanced settings for the speakers.

so, highly recommended, great value for the money.

This is excellent device.
Play all region. Region does not need to be set.
Pal/NTSC. Divx, VCD. DVD +RW/-RW and others no problem.
Devise is pretty fast and tolerant to disks quality.
Highly recommend it.

We have had this unit for 14 months now and it has worked consistently and flawlessly.

My wife and I love being able to watch British DVDs we get from Amazon.co.uk (almost always cheaper than from U.S. dealers - and with a much bigger selection).

Remote Control: One nice feature was the remote control - it was light grey with easy to read black letters, NOT the usual black with grey letters.
