Passable short order ..

One thing have purchased the player through Amazon Warehouse needed. Saving the original price about 45%.
I was looking for a device that reliably reproduces MKVs with DTS soundtrack. More I do not expect.

- First impression when unpacking was expected. Cheap plastic außreichende processing. But in this price range usual.
- Remote control small and minimalist, equipped with the most necessary functions.

-The Image
Who strikes in this price range can not expect miracles. Wants to play for the average user of Blu-Ray, no Technikenthusiast is, it's enough. The picture is sharp and also plastsisch. I recognize a slight greenish tint. But nothing would be more noticeable to the average user.
But my 3 year old Samsung BD 3600 in a noticeably sharper, higher-contrast image.
DVDs are upscaled well. I have tested it with Star Wars Episode III. The scrolling text at the beginning of the film trembles slightly.
From a distance of 3m but no longer perceptible.

- The Sound
Sensible use would with an AVR with HDMI connections. Optical audio features of Philips not only a coaxial output. But is not the end.
At the sound can not complain as long as the source material is true. Quiet passages sound as good as action movies with high level.

-Multimediaeigenschaften
In short, they are not present. If you want to surf would play all sorts of video portals, or files over your home network should look for another device.
Although features of the Philips via a YouTube application, this is hardly to use. The Fernbediehnung extremely sluggish. But for more equal. Cross-linking may be the player via Ethernet or optionally via a UBS Wireless Stick. Stream files over the network works in theory. Who wants to seriously use such functions in daily use is unnerved to give up quickly and banging the thing against walls. The player crashes constantly from one freezes and is so slow that it is a horror.

-Medienwiedergabe Via USB.
Hard drives larger than 2 TB are not recognized. So I expected but they have and partitioned. Schade did not help either. It is recognized only one partition.
Photos and MP3s are not a problem. Video files does. MP4 and TS files are not supported at all. At least not mine. MKVs are so ne thing. Since this is yes to any standard special is just a container format,
it comes out of what resolution they have. My holiday movies in 1080p with DTS soundtrack it is again =) also 720P is no problem. Changing the Audio Language It does indeed take a few seconds but still. Also Chapter entries within the MKV are detected and you can select it. Fast forward and rewind is also so ne thing sometimes go and find other times you look at the menu again. For viewing and watching but reichts. The player recognizes only external subtitles in SRT format. But after all ...

-Volume And usability
The reading of DVD and Blu-ray media is clearly audible. But that was then already. In operation it is whisper quiet. Inaudible at normal playback volume of 2.5m. In gemutetem sound the drive is easily perceptible but that is not distracting.

Now my biggest gripe. The usability.
The Philips responds over slowly to remote inputs. You get no feedback if the signal reaches the player or not. By repeatedly pressing the Philips seems overwhelmed. Patience is called for while navigating the DVD menu.
It does not matter if I. Of one or three meters Navigating is just annoying. One has to wait and about 2 seconds Pausing after each keystroke. Simply furchbar.

Conclusion:
Not for techies and people notice the micro stuttering in movies and disturbing.
It is sufficient for occasional MKV playback. DVD and Blu-Ray playback are good.
Youtube is extremely annoying due to the inertia on remote control inputs.
In my estimation, 80 EUR exaggerated for the player. However, for 45 EUR, I will keep it.
