(More customer reviews)Great player, very happy.
PRO's:
1. Very easy to set up - plug it in and it works
2. Pandora is awesome! I had to go with a wired connection as the wifi would drop out now and then (I have the same problem with my Apple TV so it's not the unit) but once I went wired it was perfect. I have ATT Uverse and they gave me for free the ethernet plug ins that turn your interior electric cable into a wired connection. Also, when you stream Pandora you do not have commercials like you do on the computer.
3. Netflix streaming is pretty cool, though the image quality is about as good as an analog TV station. But it's free "all you can eat" movies so who's to complain?
4. The sound is incredible on movies. It sends the signal in PCM format to my Pioneer VSX 1019 and the sound is so powerful I actually had to put the amp on Auto Level Control because the explosions and such were so lifelike. Even my wife, who could care less, commented that the sound was a major improvement from my DVD player.
5. Picture quality is Blu Ray - you set the player to HDMI Auto and it automatically gives you the best picture quality and aspect ratio based on the disc. You can also pick your own resolution.
6. Interface on the screen is pretty easy - when it turns on you can choose between Pandora, VUDU, Nexflix, or Disc (as well as setup, etc). Intuitive interface.
CON's
1. Batteries were dead!
2. No HDMI cable as advertised on Amazon, but the box states you only get regular cables so it's an Amazon issue.
3. Logitech Harmony universal remote doesn't recognize this unit yet so you will need the included remote to navigate. Harmony does the basics but is missing a critical "go back" button so once you are in an app (ie Pandora) you cannot return to the main menu without the main remote. I'm sure this will be fixed by Logitech.
CONCLUSION: I love it!
