If you pause the player long enough the unit will shut off, and when you start it back up, it will have lost its place

The MAJOR downfall of this region-free unit is that as soon as you update the firmware the unit loses its region free capabilty.

The unit is small and not much if any display, but neither bothers me.

this unit works great and plays all china dvds and usa bluray discs

I called the help line and after running some tests they determined that the unit was defective

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a region free player.

When I saw that Sony had recently released this player and it was available as an upgraded region free unit, I jumped on it
