About.com reviewer, Robert Silva wrote, "Despite its modest appearance, the DV-983H is a power house of a DVD player. First off, it is easy to set up and use. Second, its video/audio performance is excellent. Also, the inclusion of the Anchor Bay VRS processing system is a real bonus."

"If you are reluctant to jump into true-HD with Blu-Ray, you can still get the best video and audio quality that standard DVD can deliver with the almost-perfect DV-983H," he continued. The entire review from About.com can be found here.
