Found the following comment about the Scan sc2000 on a newsgroup; interesting because the guy claims to be a broadcast engineer. What do you all think?


"I got one before Xmas.....It`s great. Plays everything I throw at it,
DVD/VCD/SVCD/CD/CD-R/CD_WR/MP3....I did have a slight fault on loading
some disks (NO DISK or long search time), rang them up and spoke to a
very helpful guy who sent me a software upgrade via email that very
moment...just burn on a CD-WR disk and insert. Now all problems are
sorted, and Macrovision is disabled (which it was not when I bought it).
No layer change glitches, Audio fine
And the crux of this, is that for a living I an a Principle Engineer
designing MPEG-2 broadcast compression equipment....I spend my life
picking holes in MPEG artifacts on my own stuff (and cringing at
Digital TV) I See EVERYTHING, no matter how slight...I am sensitised
to it...........and so what do i think of my SCAN Video


Quality........as good as I have seen on Players >£500 - Certainly as
good as the similar priced Pioneer etc (same basic chipset anyway).

So, in summary....maybe there HAVE got build problems....and I`ve been
lucky...but in terms of design, it`s great, and the Customer Service
has been ideal.

I`m not saying it is without problems....obviously lots of people
cannot be wrong, but it is obvious that it CAN be OK.
