When connecting noticeable that the player only has very few ports (1x HDMI, 1x network, 1x digital audio output, 1x USB). The center of multimedia entertainment this device is therefore not before.
The commissioning of the player is complicated by the unusual remote control - here in my opinion the functionality was clearly subordinate to the design.

Unfortunately, this possibility seems - as I have to say after a few hours of countless tests and futile reading of the Internet - not to apply to Apple. The iOS apps that similar to me as results of search for "LG" or "Smart Share" offered are either not suitable for my product or they do not come from LG. Unfortunately, the directly downloaded for the home PC from the LG website program is not working. Although the player finds my PC, but not Geling the data exchange.
All in all, a device that is pretty to look at, the DVDs and Bluyrays behaviourless happening, but nothing more [does not apply to Android users may be]. Whether it wants to pay that price, everyone must decide for themselves.
