The device plays easily from DVD's and Blu-Ray's. I also have a Samsung TV, the player with the television, therefore, connects easily and I use then for both devices only the remote control of the player. Connection success easily. Except for the missing HDMI cable (I thought it was a part of the delivery) was the connection to the TV easily. What has been striking more over time, are the sounds of the drive when the unit or if the DVD / Blu-ray reads / loads. During playback, you will hear a constant faint noise and hum. I personally do not mind, but I can imagine that it acts on other extremely bothersome and annoying.
Who expects no 1A device or want but would like to see only now and then DVD or Blue Ray is correct for this device. Value for money is ok. I am satisfied so far.
