Key technology Features and Supported Formats:
DTS-ES 96/24: There are two DTS®-ES™ (Extended Surround) formats: DTS®-ES™ Discrete 6.1 and DTS®-ES™ Matrix 6.1. The DTS®-ES™ Discrete 6.1 format is, as the name implies, a 6.1-channel system with a discrete back surround channel, while DTS®-ES™ Matrix 6.1, like Dolby® Digital Surround EX™, provides a matrix-encoded back surround channel. There's also DTS® Neo:6, which derives a 6-channel surround output from a stereo soundtrack, and regular DTS®, which, like Dolby® Digital, is a discrete 5.1-channel system, but which uses less compression than Dolby® Digital. Receivers carrying the ""96/24"" designation are able to decode a new high-resolution audio format, DTS-96/24. This breakthrough allows for high quality, 5.1 channel audio encoded at 96kHz/24-bit resolution to be stored on a DVD-Video disc (or the DVD-Video portion of a DVD-Audio disc). This format is compatible with all DVD players, with those able to pass a 96kHz signal providing the highest quality output (DTS-96/24 is also backwards compatible with older 48kHz DVD player models).
Dolby Digital: DVD players with this logo are capable of transmitting a Dolby Digital signal (in coaxial and/or optical format) to a receiver or processor. The receiver or processor must be able to decode Dolby Digital signals to properly reproduce the audio.
JPG: JPG is a standard image format used in today's digital cameras and personal computers. DVD players that carry this logo are able to read CD-R/RWs that contain JPG image information and display slide shows on your television (such as recent vacations, family photos, etc.).
Progressive Scan: By ""painting"" an entire frame at once, scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts, and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.
HDMI: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) This high-bandwidth interface supports not only brilliant digital video, but digital audio as well. Up to 5 Gbps of data—more than twice what's needed for a high-definition movie with surround sound—can be handled, with room for future requirements. All this data is kept in the digital domain, as there are no D/A or A/D conversions needed, to ensure the highest sound and video quality available.
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs,displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In addition, HDMI enables a single remote point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that automatically configure from a single command from a remote control -- turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or watch cable or satellite TV.
MP3: This audio format achieves about a 10:1 compression over conventional CD audio. What does this mean? You can store many more songs using the same amount of space. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in MP3 format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording.
WMA: This audio compression format from Microsoft® allows you to reduce the size of your audio files for storage on your computer's hard drive or portable devices. This allows you to store many more songs than with uncompressed CD audio, using the same amount of disc space or memory. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in WMA format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording.

Very Good DVD player.......2007-11-01
This is a very nice DVD player. It looks so cute and works also very cute.It goes very well with Onkyo 7.1 HTIB
On the Bubble.......2007-10-17
I just got a HD TV and this being my first upconverting DVD player I am satisfied. I am waiting for the big Blue Ray/HD war to work itself out and drop the pricing before I buy. The Onkyo Single Disc HDMI Player DVSP404 has a great picture and my kids can watch all of their old DVD's that get upconverted to 1080i. I also use this as my CD/DVD player tied into my sound system which performs nicely. The HDMI conections are why I bought this device. Simple hook up and great price. I noticed there is a delay in the turn on speed as I had read in other reviews, but it has not effected us. Nice product.
Great DVD player in many aspects........2007-09-03
It's a nice looking player with excellent construction and great picture as well as sound quality. It has many useful features and very easy menu. The only cons are that it lacks of RI connection to be used with other remote controls and does not have SACD support. If you care about them go for the DVSP504 model. Overall it's a product really worth to have it.
Low Quality.......2007-06-06
Even though they charge a hefty sum for it, the player tends to heat up and make the picture jumpy. Customer service is rude and inattentive.
Not going to buy Onkyo again.
Simple, works great, & inexpensive.......2007-06-06
Read the reviews. Needed a single-disc player until I spring for Blu-Ray. Just bought Onkyo's 674 receiver (awesome) and wanted HDMI. Perfect match!
Zoom, Resume, 1080i, HDMI, S-Video, component - all make for a great unit.
If I was forced to find a "con", I'd say the turn-on & load sequence could be a tad faster.

Customer Reviews:
Think twice before buying this drive........2007-10-15
I had the One Touch II Mini for a little over one year, then the USB port actually came loose and fell into the drive itself (just after the product came out of warranty of course, so no replacement) rendering it useless. Maxtor/Seagate "offered" to recover the data... for MINIMUM of $700!!
POS drive as far as I'm concerned, with horrible tech support to boot. Now I'm stuck with a paperweight that contains all my backup info. Stay away from this product if you're looking for a reliable drive. I'll never buy from them again.
Won't shut off; terrible customer service.......2007-09-11
I bought this hard drive three months ago. Three calls to Maxtor's technical "support" later, it still won't shut off so that I can remove it from my computer after I'm done backing up my data. In order to remove it safely, I have to restart my system. Sometimes the backup program occupies 98-99% of my computer's memory, making other applications freeze, and the process responsible for taking up all that memory can't be shut - even after restarting. Imagine a program that, once open, won't respond to a "quit" command or CTRL-ALT-DEL ... that's this drive.
And the "support" - if you like waiting on hold for 45 minutes to talk to someone in India whose English is, shall we say, rather idiosyncratic, then I strongly recommend that you buy something from Maxtor. As for me, in the future I'll take the risk that my computer gets stolen or burns up in a fire rather than spend another dollar on Maxtor's junk.
A bad experience for me on all fronts.......2007-08-04
I bought this hard drive from Staples to use as a backup drive for my Windows XP box. The hardware seemed fine (at first). The backup software's documentation and interface seemed passable (at first). Then I discovered that the backup software does not backup the c:\windows directory. I could not find any mention in the documentation of this limitation. Other Amazon reviews for this family of products enumerate other files that it fails to backup.
Once the backup finally did run and the software claimed it ran successfully, the Maxtor One-Touch status icon in the Windows status tray remained red, indicating a problem. When I right clicked the icon and requested the Backup Status, it displayed "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".
Seagate's technical support website, which is where the Maxtor's support is located, is abysmal. Hard to even find this product, and when I finally did I could not find any discussion of this problem. When I spoke to them in person, they directed me to some cryptically-named files in the software's History directory that indicated which files weren't backed up. (Again, no mention of these files in the documentation.) But it still didn't solve the "appropriate permissions" problem. This problem is mentioned on several web sites, but there seems to be no reliable fix. None of the fixes mentioned on other sites worked for me.
Next, the user interface to the Maxtor software started acting up. The window would disappear everytime I clicked on it. Rebooting several times over the next couple days didn't solve it.
Finally, the drive indicated a hardware error and Windows claimed I would need to reformat it.
All of the above problems occurred during the first week. I didn't have time for any more grief from this thing and took it back to Staples. They have a great no-questions asked return policy as long as you return Electronics within 2 weeks.
I'm now trying the Iomega Silver Portable 100 GB Portable Drive, which comes with EMC Retrospect Express.
Excellent Portable Drive.......2007-04-07
I love this external drive! I had just bought a WD Passport 120GB, and it was defective, and would not even read on several machines. The Maxtor, is fantastic with the software and the Y Cable is nice. The WD did not come with the Y Cable. I use a laptop and the Y cable really helps! Without it the drive, the larger ones, may have a hard time with power, since the larger drives can be power hogs. Overall, I have not had any problems with this drive. I am not a techie person, and for me it works wonderfully!
