Just to comment on the previous post:
I use a Panasonic DVD which dosn't have an impressive picture, so I try not to use it very much. It was OK with my old MX6000, but now I really see that it is no good. For HD I use a TViX M6500A, and it is really here that the BV8 excells. Wauv, the picture is brilliant. And don't even get me started on the sound. Even with no extra speakers, it is genious. LOVE IT
