1.) got me this device for the playback performance of AVCHD 2.0 bought (camcorder 1080 / 50p)
2.) This device would, in principle, with its excellent properties of playability and presentation, but ....
3.) the operating noise ...... Sony because you built your real GIANT CRAP !!!
4) you can hear the player clearly even without a disc loaded
My "experiences" were as follows (and I sit 4 meters from the player away!):
A DVD borrowed and played on this unit: that here the player is not hovering like a helicopter borders truly a miracle !!! Granted, other DVD's running "quiet", but this was probably a minimal imbalance. The whole body has to vibrate, even when I wanted to change the state and held in the hand (!!!) have not been better. Now I have the same DVD out in my Philips BDP 8000 and lo and behold: inaudible !!! Since you have already with the ear directly go to hear any drive noise to the unit.
Then I inserted a BluRay and was just annoyed because I've heard the drive noise of the Sony player than the film. If you want, for example, playing a classical BluRay with this player, should draw the boxes in another room or to accommodate the "thing" in a soundproof and closed hi-fi cabinet.
Sony, which is not at all. Please fitted ordinary and heavy drives and no jet propulsion. I agree rather from a few Euro's more, but then I something sensible.
The thing went back naturally.
