Advantages: Picture, Price, Design

Disadvantages: Support, Volume, No component

Pro's: For DVD and also with audio CD and mp3 its producing a good sound. Picture quality is good too. All in all, for the price its a good value.

Con's: It has only S-Video and Composit outputs, there is no Component output.
The Audio Volume has Limits. For a room until 5x5 meters you will get enough sound volume out of most DVDs and CDs, but there may be CDs which contain datas with not enough sound volume. I use to resample them on the Mac, and produce mp3 with more volume, then it comes good on the DA 3520.
The 3520 has not enough flexibility to adjust volumes on each speaker.
It gives out PAL signal as PAL and NTSC as NTSC, so if you have an NTSC TV, PAL DVDs will not play or only b/w.
But the great Problem with the DA-3520 is LG, if you need help or support from them, dont expect much. The LG support here (southamerica) doesn't even know the diference between PAL and NTSC. And LG online with email to Korea or USA is not really a help. If I ask how to solve the PAL b/w problem (I have an LG Flatron TV) they only told me that its not possible. But I know its possible, only I need some help to solve it as I am not electronic specialist, but there are decoders, converters etc. on the market.
