I was looking for a player to replace the DVD player that had passed away after 10 years, but I did neither recorder (too expensive) or Blu-Ray (I have no Blue-Ray discs does not count buy). This corresponds perfectly to what I wanted, a small price, a simple drive to use and install, but a known brand. It is small and thin, attractive design. Any negative point: it is a bit noisy when it starts and the remote control is a little cheap. Otherwise it was the right choice!
