If you are looking for a very high-end audiophile CD player and videophile DVD-Video/DVD-Audio player in "one box", this is the unit for you.
This is a top end player which was also reviewed by many international audio & video critic magazines to be as "Good" and "Better" than most CD players in the £1,000 (RM5,800.00) price bracket. It can even beat the Krell KAV-300cd & KAV-280cd CD players (I've owned these before) when it comes to inner detail and soundstaging precision.

Unit is 2-years old, in excellent condition - 9/10, fully boxed in original packaging with unused remote.

THIS IS A TOP END PLAYER WHICH WAS ALSO REVIEWED TO BE AS GOOD AND BETTER THAN MOST CD PLAYERS IN THE £1,000 PRICE BRACKET.

"As a video player and digital transport for audio, the FMJ DV29 was an outstanding performer. The picture had a smooth, natural look that was always pleasing to watch. The sound from the digital and analog outputs was first-rate -- so good, in fact, that the Arcam became my reference CD player during the time it spent in my system." -- HomeTheaterSound.com

"With DVD-A discs and especially CDs, the DV29 competes with dedicated high-end (audio only) disc players costing multiples of its price. Its inner detail, rhythmic drive, soundstaging precision and natural timbre are pure high-end. So, with the FMJ DV29 you get an outstanding DVD player and a truly audiophile grade CD/DVD-A player..." -- UltimateAVmag.com

The DV29 is the world's first production DVD player with a full specification HDMI* output. With the full implementation of the HDMI standard, the DV29 transmits digital video and up to 8 channels of high definition audio to a compatible receiver or processor. This makes it an ideal connection for surround music (e.g. DVD-Audio) and of course movie pictures.
The DV29's exceptional video performance starts with the Zoran 5 MPEG decoding engine. This powerful processor offers both interlaced and motion adaptive progressive scan video of outstanding quality. The analogue video outputs use separate 12 bit, 216 MHz video DACs for best possible picture quality regardless of which output is used.
