Quiet kicking rounder

The 5 stars are there for the technical performance of the Blu-ray player. About the external appearance of one may be divided. But as he almost completely disappears with its low height in hi-pile, this plays a subordinate role for me. In detail:

(+) Extremely fast boot
(+) Good response to commands from the remote control
(+) BluRay disk can be read in a few seconds
(+) Noise during playback nil
(+) Clear picture and clean sound even with factory settings
(+) Full remote control for all major commands
(+) Clear screen menu; all settings in the right place
(+) Amazing achievements on front USB port (see below)
(+) Philips Support the net for pdf manual and Firmware

(0) minimalist front display
(0) no front, but control buttons on top of the right front
(0) permanently connected 220V cable (see below)

The device fulfills already his duty tasks well, there there are the supreme disciplines to the USB port. 2.5 "hard drives are clean served with 500mA; its menu structure is clearly displayed Whenever the device is capable of doing, details are as for example, the playing time of video files using the shown.
Its strengths on USB he developed less when it encounters VOB structures (DVD-Video Files), or is confronted with AVI recordings. No, TS, M2TS HD streams or MKV files are his specialty. As he approaches the top form, can fast forward and rewind to, without losing lip sync and allows for M2TS files even changing the audio track on the fly without long pauses. ISO-Files, he does not like, however, it leaves it in Disk directory of disk completely. Very important: NTFS or FAT32, both for him no problem.
Display content of tinkering Philips more than pretty bad together, for the LED elements are simply scanned too coarse. Since then stands before "nodSC" for "No Disc". The display can be dimmed, however, 1-stage and goes out in standby completely. Here, then, there's not as bright as bedside lamp function as with many competitors.
Care in the HiFi rack: When stacking the buttons disappear on top of the device under the subsequent stationary component. And if one has times violently to the USB port through all sorts of files overused the Philips jumping, Files alludes briefly, breaks, and possibly sometimes a defective AVI case with which he so has its problems, you realize that a plug 220V cable also had its advantages: to track the BDP3300 / 12 fixed and not respond to any operation longer, only helps handle the power plug. Just a pity that might be to look at the worst behind the wall unit.
Conclusion: The player stands out for very little money by features that go far beyond playing BluRays. So who does not require features such as 3D, can be accessed safely.
