+ 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.

+ 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.

+ 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.
