Lovely design simple looks, fantastic picture & sound for the money, does all the latest sound formats including DTS MASTER AUDIO wich it does'nt say on the box but it bitstreams it to your amp to decode.
I have since then got to of my friends to buy one & and they love it.
- For this price there's none! Remember to by HDMI cable i don't think it comes with one.

Score 9.0/10+ Excellent product and very easy to connect to an amplifier using a toslink lead. The picture quaility is excellent especially for the money.
- It does not play mp3 via discs. I think it is possible to play via memory stick though.

Score 10.0/10+ The picture quality of this product especially if using a Blu-Ray DVD displayed on a HD TV is something you have got to see, it is great. The unit itself looks the part and is very easy to setup.
- Haven't found any as yet.

Score 8.0/10+ Can play divx after updating firmware.

The player doasn't resume playback where left if you switch it off during playback.
Long loading time. If you switch player off, it will switch tv ( also Samsung) to analog tv,
even if you were watching digital before using the player.

Adam, Salisbury
Score 8.0/10+ Fantastic player, good price and free blu-ray discs were a bonus. Haven't had chance to listen to sound quality properly yet because the player is hooked up to a 5/6 year old surround sound, but it's pretty good on that!
- None come to mind, it's faster loading than I expected too.

- Not the best looking player in the world - a bit too plain and clean cut

However, you'll need to plug a USB flash memory drive into the port on the back to provide the local storage needed to …
