One point to be aware of (not that it`s necesssarily a problem) is that it does not have SCART output, only Svideo, so you will need to get yourself an SVideo to SCART lead to ensure the best quality image. Do get it multiregion - it will cost over £50 to make a single region model multiregion - there is NO hack.

The DAVS500 plays CDR`s but I can`t confirm CDRW, it doesn`t play MP3`s.
Sonically I`d say it`s pretty good, mine replaced a Kenwood CD, Cyrus amp & Tannoy speakers and I think it does a better job.
