The remote control works in comparison to Player downright clunky, but is clearly structured and easy to handle. It is a combined TV remote - but since I do not own a Sony TV, I can not test this feature.
The connection is very simple - so simple that I can not even say whether the package in a manual was ^^. I have certainly not needed, because the initial installation is completed self-explanatory and in less than a minute.
The drive itself is pleasantly quiet. This is the next DVD evening nothing in the way!
