Blu-ray Disc/ DVD player

A great unit with some extras. I don't use it every day but when I'm in the mood to watch a good movie, whether using a DVD or via VUDU which is one of the special features of this unit. It's always a good experience. The clearity of the picture and the sound quality, (just through my TV), is astonishing. I'd like to get a surround sound system and connect to it to see how much better the sound quality would be. Thanks Philips, I've been using some of your equipment since I was a child, and it's never been disappointing!

I'm using this unit via HMDI connection and very happy with the ease of installation and picture quality in HD 1080p. Highly recommend.

I have only had it for one day but I am very impressed with the features and load time. Youtube loads up nicely and works very well and Vudu also works awesome too. The blu ray player downloaded the update pretty fast and so far every blu ray movie loads up pretty fast every time.

I've used this little player for over 3 weeks now and have had no problems. I've played Blu Rays, DVD's, and even home made disc's with no problem.

I see some pretty harsh reviews on this thing, but I've never had many issues with it. I've had mine for 2 or 3 years now and the biggest issue I've ever had is every now and then it won't turn off, so you have to unplug it. I got it from a friend. He couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work, but I've never had any problems with that for as long as I've had it. Netflix works ok on it, but all Netflix apps have problems in my experience. I don't really need it for Vudu, Picasa or Pandora, so I don't know how those perform on it. YouTube used to work ok, but they recently removed it from their devices list, but that's on them, not the player. It plays discs with no problems, USB is even easier. The main annoyance to me is that the remote controls don't always do what you want. You press up, it goes down. You press next, it stops, or rewinds. It doesn't do that constantly, but it does act up on occasion. I wish I could hook my surround sound to it, but I can't do that, so that's something to look out for if you want to do that. Other than that, it does most of what it's supposed to for me. It may vary by model, like anything else, but if it works for you like it has for me, I'd recommend it for an affordable and basic player.

The unit is a little slow starting up but it performs as expected and the picture/sound quality is good.

I was having trouble connecting to Netflix, YouTube, etc even though it said I was connected to the network. Turns out my "guest" wireless connection was not strong enough or something, even though, again, it said "connected". I had also tried to connect to my "main" wireless (Linksys) connection but could not because my wireless password had zeroes in it, and I had trouble getting the zeroes to display while entering the password. Turns out the remote control keypad "0" key has to be hit twice to select/enter the number zero (and only once for space i.e. "_") even though it lists space then zero on the remote button, if that makes sense. Once I got the password entered correctly for my main wireless connection (instead of the Guest wireless connection), it worked fine.

Until recently this player hasn't given me a lick of a problem. But now, it won't play Netflix. I don't know whether it is a software issue or a Netflix issue.

We bought this device primarily for web access to Netflix and other online services. Setup was easy and quickly connected to Pandora and Netflix. It did hang up during a software update but worked fine after restarting it.

Manual is poor. The USB port is at an angle and there is no information about this so the user will try to push the stick straight in! I wanted HDMI/USB/coax audio and this was one of the few that provided this combination
