This is an excellent product, and can be installed instantly with the Amazon 2.0 meter HD Lead ordered and delivered at the same time. It operates very well with a HD Ready TV, and automatically selects the 180i resolution with full 16.9 format. There is very little mechanical noise during playback, and the display is clear. The remote is large and easy to use, within a range of 7-9 meters at an angle of 30 degrees, powered by two AAA batteries. There is a very slight delay in the response to functions when operating the Player initially, but not during subsequent use.
PAL and Blu-Ray DVDs are played perfectly, and sound options are clear. I would give it 5 Stars, but it will not play back NTSC, nor some European HD DVDs. I am aware that there has been some rivalry between HD and Blu-Ray formats, and this is not really a problem for me. I have alternative Multi Regional facilities.
The product is light in weight, reasonably compact, and comes very well packed in an outer cardboard box. The Digital card for storing BD Live downloads, is not included, but is similar to some used in Digital Cameras, so photographs can be displayed. There is a LAN socket, but obviously the cable has to be purchased separately. This is a very good piece of technology which I would highly recommend.
