I tried a Sony Upconverting DVD player and I could leave the video conversion mode on Auto and that DVD would play just fine. Also Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center in Vista would give me the same combing artifacts on that disc and I don't know if there is a way to fix it in WMP or WMC. No combing artifacts on that disc on my brother's PS3. I haven't tried a USB flash drive on the S350. Would a USB flash drive allow multidisc resume DVD on the S350. A multidisc resume feature is important to me because I watch seasons of different TV shows and like to alternate discs of different TV shows depending on what I'm in the mood for without losing where I last left off on the discs. Should I get a PS3 instead of the Sony S350?

Well, I don't know of many players that will resume exactly where you left off if you eject it from the machine. However, you might check with someone who has a Panny 30. For some reason, I think it might (within reason; if you play a dozen different discs between the time you eject a certain disc and put it in again, it won't like keep that in its memory). I hope you are aware that if you had just left the DVD in the machine when you turned it off, it would pick up where it left off when you turn it on (at least it works that way for my S300).

Question for you: You chose "Three's Company" as a title to do testing for quality???
