HTS 8100 BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

May 23, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Terrific sound, can handle many sources like computers, Hard disk, Ipod
Cons: DVD player defective
Opinion:
I got my unit on Jan 2008 in the Philippines. First problem, it did not want to play other region DVDs, I called for a technician and it was solved right away. Second problem, often time when I play a DVD, no picture comes out of the TV. I have to unplug unit, replug it, turn on the DVD before I get a picture. This happened at first 1 out of 3 times I use the unit. But after a month or so later, this happens 2 out of 3 times I use the DVD player and lately all the time. Its very depressing to have to uplug and replug the unit to watch a DVD movie. Sound quality is quite good with very good surround sound and terrific upscaling of DVD picture to my Philips 42inch LCDTV.
