Query: Okay - but don't expect much...

I bought my DAV2100 because I didn't have the cash to buy a better system. The old addage that you get what you pay for definitely applies here. Software is okay, but not dazzling. Performance is nominal, but some newer DVDs (with SS 5.1) may have playback problems - sound plays, but video freezes. After about a year or so, the thing starts breaking down - front panel display flickers, sound cutout, disc drawer freeze. I was impressed by the construction - all metal chasis and good ventilation. An average system for people who don't have the buck to buy a topline system. But uh... were I to do this again, I'd save up the bucks and buy the top line. - tally ho! (HP)
