Integration into the my TV Home Menu (also Philips) is very well implemented, which I was excited directly. When you first install the Blu-ray player puts more of its own menu items there on for direct control. Including the Blu-ray playback, configuration, photo / media playback and search of other sources that can be controlled with the TV remote control then, which I find very practical. So you only need one remote control.
When you turn and insert a Blu-ray of TV will automatically switch to the correct input source, so you do not have to change yourself. What is certainly ascribe also the coordinated interaction of the devices, since they come from the same manufacturer. For other devices, such as an Apple TV, my old DVD player I could not find it. The video quality is so crisp and makes a very good impression, as one would expect from a Blu-Ray player. In the films that I've looked at, there was no artifact formation still streaks. Even compared to a Full HD player by Toshiba makes the Philips a good figure, the image of the Philips I found here is always a track crisp. The player can also play back all popular video formats (AVI, MPEG, MKV, DIVX, etc.) from a variety of sources (BD / DVD / CD / USB).
In the Blu-ray player is the version without 3D capability, which means the unit will play really consistently no Blu-Ray 3D content from. That was not so clear to me at the time of acquisition. When you insert the message appears that it is in the inserted Blu-Ray is a 3D film that can not be played on this unit. Since this is my first Blu-Ray player, has me first a little surprised that you then can not even look into 2D content. On the other hand it makes naturally after a moment's thought and mind and is at other BD players, as I have noted also that way.
Two small drawbacks of the BDP3400, which bothered me a bit, are a little too short guessed power cable. With ~ 1.5 m can not start as much as you. My nearest outlet is really just a good TV width away, as so must already be extended. And the second point, the BD player plays the discs not so quietly from the hum of the BD is always a little in the background perceptible. In addition, the player is when you turn a little loud Arretierungston of itself, estimated from the positioning of the laser. However, the points are not so serious, so I disconnect only one point in the rating for me.
In conclusion, I can only recommend the device, however, especially in combination with a Philips TV, it makes in practice a good figure and has a real value for money. Who in any case does not wish to 3D, is well served by this execution.
