Is styled successful player but very small and not enough control elements on the front, except Open, Stop, Play and Power off there's nothing, no soft touch operation. But that's what the remote control. In size terms, he also does not fit my older Pioneer VSX-1020 AV receiver, it is the right and left about 1 cm in width and depth than it is considerably narrower, who can live with it ... but Luckily it fits at least in styling and it can be controlled with the remote control of the receiver. For music CD output only the elapsed time is displayed, no track number, and no maturity. The display on TV is very unimaginative and represents emptiness there, at the top of the title bar just a play, current title, total title and elapsed time nothing else on. Also the screensaver in pause or stop is very boring, here Pioneer should urgently rectify, other manufacturers offer here a lot more! The drive noise depend on the selected media, the hörbarsten he is with Bluray playback. The reading of the disc is clearly audible, while playing slightly whirring little high-frequency sounds are perceived. These are no longer heard but also at quieter speaker output. Who have not heard in 3 m distance must already exceptionally good ears or I caught fortunately a quiet player ;-) DVD and audio CD are from reading her even more enjoyable and really barely audible during operation. The picture quality is beyond reproach and are no cause for criticism, at least for me not. I have not tested all image formats but until now he has played everything. Connections are enough available and when you need HDMI yes no 5-channel analog output more. If he remains silent so I am very pleased, however, Pioneer could aufhübschen the graphics on TV output with a firmware update.
