Good feature and initial quality for the price

I just owned this unit for a few days so I am unable to judge its long term reliability. I had one glitch right out of the box: the LCD screen was completely dark! I connected it to a TV and everything looked OK. After fiddling for a while then I finally found the culprit: the "line select" switch was kind of set in the middle. After moving it to the "out" position then the picture came up and there are no dead pixels. However, there is nothing mentioned in the manual about what's the exact funtion of this switch. In summary,
The Cons:
* Poor documentation.
* The vertical view angle is limited.
* Not S-video cable which requires a special connector.
* No "seek" buttons on the console.
* Display dot pitch is kind of big (the screen door effect)
The Pros:
* Versatile audio capability, good speakers.
* Works with DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW.
* Changeable region setting as mentioned in the previous review.
* The screen brightness, aspect ratio and color is easy to adjust.
* Relatively low price (from another vendor)
