Looking for a good Blu-ray player I informed me in various forums and then sacrificed 2.99 to download a pdf file on Stiftung Warentest testing Blu-ray players. Then I went to buy Warentest test winner of Stiftung to "M" a "M" electronics store around the corner to me. The LG 420. The seller looked at me with one eye and said, "Out of the customers have bought as stupid, because he has become the first in nem test, but he has since even the Sony BDP-S 490" "But who is it so loud drive noises have" I replied. The seller went with me in the room with the speakers closed the door and turned on the Sony player. No matter which CD or Blu-ray, he also lodged. There were heard no drive noise. The BDP S 490 is really very quiet. The criticism in several reviews here and in other media, I can not understand. But perhaps Sony has indeed now rectified quietly.
Home I then connect the player to my Sony Bravia connected TVs and extensively tested.
Very, very positive, I find the instruction manual that comes with the manual. Every single step in connecting the player is explained in text and image. Moreover, any technical term explained in the configuration of the player.
The player stands with me in range of an L-cable. Wireless I do not need. So plug in the cable and immediately made a system update. Everything went very quickly. Who calls a PS3 or a Sony television his own, who can safely forego 99% of the manual.
I got the player now for 2 days and tested extensively. Photos and music on one of the two USB ports is one or gekuckt, play Blue-Ray and can only say .....
Not believe everything one reads and hears but try it yourself.
The BDP-S 490 gets me full credit. Highly Recommended
