I've always been using Philips player, because I also have a Philips Flat Panel Display I can not understand the bad reviews my pros reviewers. Whoever criticizes the absence of a Scart connection in the age of smartphones and 3D TVs, would previously have better googling to grumble place afterwards. This Sony replaced with the USB input some multimedia players such as Seagate, because he can read even large USB sticks and external hard drives. The case dimensions are exactly right, and take up any space. The player reads everything you insert, even self-burned DVD + and DVD + Double Layer, which most competitors can not. The Sony is a device first class for the small purse.
