The player is highly recommended. He seems well made, loads quickly, is quietly and plays USB pretty much all formats. Even shooting a TechniStar S2 receiver he recognizes and plays effortlessly from. Contrary to what some other reviewers also NTSF formatted external hard drives! The Blu-ray image is m. E. not inferior to that of much more expensive players. Also the upscaling of DVDs mastered the players wonderfully. The operation is clear and simple. Even audio delay to 120 milliseconds can be set via the audio options. Perfect all around would be the small players, if not this horrible in my eyes "edge design" had been elected on the top, allowing the device is practically not integrated, but must be separately positioned or the last successive standing of several components. But since one finally knows the design before, you have to take it into account or the player does not buy up. One point deduction appears far not justified.
