Good device, but important note: there are two versions on the market!

The device looks quite wertig for this price, the piano black faux front tends unfortunately as usual vulnerabilities regarding Fingertapsern. Low installation depth and height, so it disappears in my bookshelf. At about two hours of operation no excessive heating lockable, despite trial plan of stacked books (the case in the rest of holding out; whether your gold bars should also be on - as far as I do not trust the part then not to ...).

The drawer does not open completely, and because very flat, lacking side grips, you can after getting used but single out the media at the center hole.

Port side I recommend HDMI, component seemed minimally blurred at my monitor and provided with overscan (with HDMI not at 0, but less than 5%). A complete analog output 5.1. missing, there are only stereo-out available. I DVD player basically digitally connect (Note: no optical output available), for me no shortcoming.

To indicate the title (software version and version) my is the 5980S, software version .39, the outwardly no different from 5980, but probably has other innards. Test the device version (here already posted several times): "open load" and "55" touch on the remote control, the device displays the on-screen version (_12S.bin or _12.bin).

Speaking of remote control: in my version I have no problems with sending, even if the donor does not fit in gray optically to the device. On the other hand sees a black FB on the coffee table wirkklich better? The gray (see photo on this page) is more effective than expected in reality. Have there been other seen - even with a lot of expensive equipment. And it is sufficiently easy in order to be able to use as an expectorant without harm ;-)

Image quality: Use the HDMI quality I am basically satisfied with the settings of the system could be a bit longer, but do not want to complain at the price (the unit is with me in the second system in use). Shortcoming: the upscaler is 1080p clearly on its borders, slipping during rapid panning scenes and edges significantly, partly it seems as if some lines are missing. But would again try different cables, a slight incompatibility of the HDMI cable could be.

So I am satisfied with the device, I would like to complain about all the time to point out: the part will cost 80 euros - not 800 ... But in my view good, reasonable quality - it simply does what it is supposed (and eats everything what he so I got to feed - the 14 points of MP3 are for playback via USB with large collections, however, too little But for MP3 I have a solution directly via PC) the system..

And finally: even this part is, of course, code-free to get:
Switch 1) unit
2) Open the drawer via Open / Close button
3) Press Setup on remote
Switch 4) on the "Preference" (English menu) or "Preferences" (German)
Enter 5) Via Remote Control 138931
6) A hidden menu with the country code appears, scroll up (with the Up button on the remote) and select "0".
7) Press Setup again, if necessary, to go out with OK. Voilà!
