The volume of the player I find very pleasant. Only when you load a disc, he is loudly audible but otherwise absolutely not disturbing. The remote control is easy to operate and also organized very understandable. As for the BD-Live feature, I can not say more because I have no Internet connection at the location of the player.
The software update to work properly, and I must say that I have transferred the new software per disc and not via a USB stick. However, this should make no problems.
In my opinion, this is a super player who really knows almost everything and also convinced the price.
