Since einigern weeks I am now the happy owner of this player and am very satisfied. Since I have a Sony television, it was clear that a Sony player is needed. Since I do not want to spend too much money for something, I opted for this device. I like the sleek design and the front looks really classy. The device delivers a super HD image and the tone is delivered in a good quality to the amplifier. I can not complain about a loud drive me. One does not hear. About the front USB port, I was very surprised. Since I had been told that the max. a hard drive of 500GB recognizes and also with any other manufacturer over 1TB is expected. My 1.5TB hard drive has recognized the player instantly and all data are easily usable. The only thing that is not so beautiful, is the remote control. Since the guys at Sony have sometimes can make something beautiful. To sonem beautiful Player sone ugly remote control. Well but I subtract no star.
