I can't think of a thing that I needed that it doesn't have, and for far less than many other models on the market at the time of my review.
I think it performs perfectly, offers a clear picture, and boots up faster than the more expensive model we have.
Not much more I could ask for or need than that--get moving with your workout DVDs in any room of the house or just sit back and enjoy the show.
I recommend this model. Easy to hook up. Easy to use.
I will say the Firmware update is a bit scary if you use the CD firmware update. It does not tell you much of anything. When you insert the disc both the green and the red light flash on the player like something is wrong. Also nothing is displayed on screen that anything is happening. After about 10 mins something finally started showing up on the screen. Another 5 mins later it looked like it had locked up so I just left it.
When the update is done, the tray will open on its own. So if you are using the manual firmware CD up, just insert the disc with the player on and walk away. Come back 20 mins later and the cd tray should be open which means it is done. If you watch it, it will worry you that something is wrong.
I am also not a big fan when use the chapter skip button, it shows what chapter you are on with a picture of the chapter on the screen for about 10 secs. There seems to be no way to turn this feature off and just allow you to hit the chapter skip button without a picture menu. ANNOYING..
Overall its a 10 out of 10 unit...
I love it...
The one thing I do not like is the remote. The layout does not match television remotes made during the same time, so buttons are all over the place. That makes using the remote in a darkened room challenging. Also, the Netflix button is extremely close to the up arrow button. There is not enough separation and that is completely unacceptable. That alone is why I cannot give the player five stars.
I do recommend the device and the Smart feature enables the player to do more than simply play discs. That is a nice bonus.
The only gripe I have is that the menu navigation sequence to get to the online streaming sources is rather cumbersome. You can program a macro into the remote control to save you the trouble, but the only "direct access" button on the remote is for Netflix. While Netflix is a market leader, should it really be given top billing over other movie streaming options? I'd like to reclaim that button, but alas, it cannot be changed. Clearly a majority of Netflix die-hards will actually like the feature the way it is.
Anyway, I'm happy with the device and would recommend it highly.
