Asia / Australia model DVD 951,UK / Europe model DVD957 with on-board DTS surround sound decoding. Below is what i experience from playing numbers of discs,some of them plays smoothly,some with hiccups(freezes for a short while during the change of chapter),some do not play at all.This is probably due to the firmware that comes with the player-8.xx.
OK=smooth playback,HICCUPS=picture freeze during chapter change
