The main reasons for my purchase:
BD player ;-)
Networking
DLNA streaming from PC / Internet possible
A further plus point was the 3D capability, which I myself have still not 3D enabled TV ... but it's ok to make provisions something ;-)
Did directly after connecting an update over the network / Internet run, worked without problems.
When playing BluRay movies is indeed a slight running noise to be heard .... but not addressed by far to the extent that this partly. Especially when the movie plays one hears nothing more!
With the right app (also available for Android) can be the player simply on the smartphone use ;-) Nice nice-2-have but not a must ^^
I Control the player on my Logitech Harmony 525 Remote Control. As usual, "rumgestelle in Harmony program" for something works out the operation without any problems.
The stream of Youtube and several other online services (Pro7, Sat1, etc.) is another nice "gimmick".
Movies are played on my Philips 42 "TV in super quality. The sound on the used by me Toslink (optical) cable is a pleasure ^^
Thus, an absolute buy recommendation !!!!!!!
PS: Stupid question on the edge: If the normal is not a blue LED lighting a BluRay disc is inserted BD player from Sony soon? So I knew that so far ..... but that is also no star deduction ;-)
