Advantages: Superb quality.

Disadvantages: occasional poor layer changing

This is a higly recommended player with an excellent feature set and given its quality the price isn't bad either. I bought this to replace my Samsung 807 when it proved to have problems with a number of discs. I'd already amassed a large number of DVDs so though it was worth investing in a decent player. All the reviews I read for this unit were positive so it seemed the ideal choice.

So far I've not been disappointed. The picture quality is superb and I just wish I had a better TV to make the most of it. Sound matches picture and again I wish I had a Dolby Digital setup to get the best from the unit. The machine provides all the standard DVD functionality, with a few extras thanks to its in built Dolby Digital decoder. There's plenty of options to play with and you can spend a lot of time optimising the picture and sound settings.

I've been using the 626 for about 6 months now and the only complaint I have is that for some discs the layer change is noticeable. That aside this is probably the best machine at the price point on the market.
