QUALITY DVD PLAYER

This is a true 1 rack space, rack mount DVD player. This is a quality unit. Feels solid, works great. Drawer opens and closes quickly. It cues up and plays pretty fast. I have played DVDs/DVD+R/CDs/CD-R with no problems. I use the component output with a 25' component cord going to a projector and that works fine. The front controls are basic, PLAY/PAUSE/STOP with track up/down buttons too.
I use the basic RCA audio outputs with good sound but I think the audio output level is somewhat low. I have to run my gain control higher on my mixer board but it's fine.

The remote control has a good feel to it and seems well laid out. You can open and close the drawer with the remote too. It also has slow motion control. It has track buttons on it and I like the way you only have to hit a single track button like 5 instead of 05. When you hit a track number it goes right to it, nice.

There are 2 minor things that I don't care for....

You can adjust the time to countdown but it resets to counting up after you open the drawer, so you would have to change it for every disc if you want it to count down.

The drawer will open while a disc is playing if you hit the OPEN button. This does matter because you might hit by mistake when using multiple components. I would rather hit the STOP button first, then OPEN.

I love this unit and have other Tascam products. They all seem to be quality products.

Check the output options to make sure they fit your needs.
