Finally satisfied! 2

Once I had to make myself after the disappointment from the LG BD550 in the search for a new Blu-Ray player, I read a lot of reviews and finally opted for the Philips BDP 3300 This player now finally fulfilled my expectations to a reasonable Player! The DVD upscaling is good and there are no annoying high-pitched buzzing noise when playing Blu-Rays as the LG. About USB device reads all popular files quickly and plays them, whether from the hard drive or USB flash drive. He also plays burned DVDs and SVCDs - an absolute all-rounder. The sound on the Coaxialausgang is almost a little too hard in conjunction with the right investment, but as long as the Nachtbarn the join :-) The remote control is as with almost all Philips devices a bit strange, but very clear and responds well. Only something funny, I find that there is no eject button, but you have to hold it for a few seconds STOP, in order to open the disc tray.

What I do not like so much is the purely numerical display on the front side of the player, which can play only numbers and then very funny looks when there Menu, Stdby, or Home in distorted letters in mixed uppercase and lowercase letters appear, which is not more so-to-date, but I can live with. Why do I still depart mainly a star is because the player with Blu-Ray always stuck short and must appear to reload very briefly, if you pause for more than a minute. But this happens only in Blu-Ray, when you press Pause and then this more than minute can so. If you press again to play, get caught short picture and sound, then it continues without any problems. BD Live, I have not tried because I do not have a LAN cable near my player, still own the wireless dongle.

Conclusion:

Positives:
+ Good DVD upscaling
+ So far the best sound over Coaxialausgang I listened with all my players
+ Enormous file playback Diversity (via Disc or USB)
+ Very quiet operation (can be heard only when you start the disc and the menu navigation)

Neutral:
o No separate eject button on the remote control (STOP has to be held down longer)
o Simple numeric front panel display, the text reflects very unfavorably

Negatives:
- If after a slightly longer pause at Blu Ray always hang short

All in all, highly recommended this player for the price. I hope the durability is also true, this is a very successful device.
