Pros: Downconverts PAL to NTSC, plays just about every CD/DVD format in existence.
Cons: PAL playback isn't mentioned anywhere on the outside of the packaging.

Thanks for the review of this player, I've been thinking about getting one myself when I saw them at Target and was wondering about multi-region and PAL/NTSC conversion. As for "I'd expect to see this sort of stuff in a no-name Korean special, but not from a reputable worldwide powerhouse in electronics.", it depends on the Korean company - I'd hardly call Samsung and LG/GoldStar/Zenith no-name Korean specials. I've got issues with Daewoo (see the review of my Daewoo DVD player), but the other two big Korean guys are great, in my opinion.
