As a nice bonus, you can disable all the bogus copyright protection features.

This I did not know. Are you saying that this unit allows you to turn off Macrovision and Region Encoding? If that's true, I would have bought it if I'd known about it.

See, my current TV set is pretty old and doesn't have video-ins. Only a cable-TV input. So I have to use the video-ins on my VCR to convert the DVD's signal into one that the TV set can understand. This invokes the Macrovision protection. So I was forced to buy a macrovision-breaker device and insert it into the signal chain just to be able to use my new DVD player. Another example of copy protection inconveniencing the honest consumer.
