Especially for a new generation player with analog 7.1 audio outputs of high quality, it's stupid and distressing, other readers, even cheaper, do; But not this Philips BDP9700 ...
If I add the many crashes when opening the drawer, the reader is completely blocked and the remote control remains hopelessly dumb and like Philips had the terrible idea to suppress the ON / OFF button on this unit, it is obliged to disconnect and reconnect it to unlock.
Besides that you can not cut the eve of the unit at the time or because we are "energy saving" is not serious !!!
In short, go your way if you not want to spend 450 euros for a drive that is already obsolete ...
