User from epinions says: Region free, Price, Loaded feature list, Very slim, Fast seek time, Super error correction Flimsy CD Tray, No display dimmer, Manual is missing some feature functions I bought the Astar 3800 because for the price it played almost every video and audio format under the sun...Audio is excellent Runs a little warm, can be touchy with dirt on DVD's I had the local Home Theater store demo the Denon 3800, Pioneer 47AI, and Sony 9000ES on a Mits Diamond 65...Pioneer wasn't as sharp or bright, Sony looked "soft", colors were......see more
