Important for me is a Blu-ray player was on the TV (previously only possible via the PC with me) with the possibility via a USB socket to play DivX movies (at previous Sony DVD player was a USB port available, but only for images and MP3, not for video ...) - the best of Sony and not too expensive. And these functions are fulfilled to 100%, hence a perfect score. Interaction with TV (Sony) and AV amplifier (Yamaha) works perfectly.
Nevertheless, there are a couple of weaknesses that should be mentioned:
- The USB socket only supports FAT32 formatted drives, FAT32 only supports files up to 4GB, MKV files are often bigger, so need to be split. Formatted to NTFS or exFAT disk with it is no longer recognized. Whether the file systems are supported in the future, could not tell me he Sony support. As it is with so large files over the network I have not tried.
- WiFi is indeed supported by optional stick, which is so expensive that you can grab the same to the next larger model with integrated WLAN. Who does not need a network or anyway a network cable or Powerlan has, for it is not an issue anyway.
- Is As mentioned in a review DLNA is not possible in the product description is also the need to be upgraded via firmware update, only it seems this update to give still not at all
