Ok, he is at first very loud, then quiet but never unhöhrbar.er is better behind closed doors. The connection possibilities of the device are at the lower limit, but he has SIMPLINK. So you can place the unit in the cabinet and control through the TV. Among the apps I can not say anything. I use not from BP.
For me, he has played so far everything I've set before him and the picture was always OK. It is reasonable for the price and with a SIMPLINK TV. Anywhere in the room, he is clearly too loud.
