So far, so good with this DVD player: nice playback, quick transition to the "other side" of the DVD, and I even actually like the lit-up blue line on the front.EXCEPT . . . I find it very difficult to make out the words in the on-screen DVD-player instructions, settings, etc. brought up in various menus. The font size is too small and too unclear. If I'm sitting at an angle to the TV, there's no way I can read it. Even my very first VCR with on-screen instructions was easier to read.
