So visually I find the player very chic, what you indeed can already see in the image. I have connected the player through a converter on my old tube TV (scart socket) and works great. HDMI cable you have to buy extra to it, but is so often so ... Have already tried different formats that could be played without problems. These include DVDs, CDs, mp4, divx, avi, mp3, mpg. What is strangely sometimes played with me and sometimes not is mkv. The video then I've just converted in mp4 UDN then it went on. Why mkv is partly, I do not know, for that I know me too little;) Front right is the USB port to which I connected my external hard drive. The was also recognized immediately and you can easily switch between by pressing a button on a DVD and the hard drive. I have my videos arranged in folders that can be selected to play individual videos from or to just play well the entire folder. Here, the screen will momentarily go black to load the next video UDN then you continue. For image quality I can not really say what, because the player is indeed connected to my ancient TV. The image is already normal sharp as the normal TV look too, so had no problems with it. The menu that appears after turning, I find self-explanatory. You select what you want to do. Either Videos, Photos, Music or Settings. Here must be chosen correctly because the music folders are empty when video is selected in the menu, but also logical prop) I get along well with the remote control. All buttons I have not yet pressed, but will already have their purpose. The players responded, I also think quickly when I press a bit, so everything super. On the player, there is no display, but information such as chapter, title, ... can be easily displayed via the Info button. To the volume: When importing a DVD it is a bit noisy, but I think these are the most and therefore normal for me. When you play the movie then he calms down and there to make a slight noise. Ich finds not tragic, and then the sound vergess again, so I no longer mitkrieg it. Is like a low hum, but not mcih störts. If nothing is done by the player, is a screensaver that will go away by pressing a button again, so you can continue to operate. I am very happy with the players because everything is self-explanatory and I super thus clearly come UDN he does everything I want. :)
