Fully functional item and reads very well the blu-ray. Slightly noisy when loading due to movements of the lens but nothing unbearable as we can read in other reviews ... Beware though: -If You have a virtual drive that does not work you must turn it off first. -It Is not but 9 provides powerDVD8 -You Have set the player area in the options B (which is original in A) to read the dvd / blu-ray
