The BluRay DVD player part works fine, easy to setup (manual downloadable from Philips). The Unit updates to latest firmware. This unit only takes wired ethernet, NO WiFi. Using the key pad to enter the network data is a pain because there is no shift (CAPS). Netflix, Pandora, VUDU, YouTube and Picassa (only pictures from the cloud storage). are hard to set up because you have to use the arrow keys to enter network data. You have to enter the login data using the directional pad. Since I use a Roku, I don't use the apps. The remote takes a HEAVY push on the directional keys. Other keys takes a medium push.

We live in the age of "disposable electronics." Our tv's no longer last for 15 years. They last a couple years, and when they break, we don't have them repaired; we throw them in the trash. Our phones last a year, maybe 2, before they end up in a landfill. We just have to accept that this is the time we live in. Everything is disposable junk. Still, the fact that my PHILIPS Bluray player DIED AFTER 6 MONTHS is really disgraceful. At one time Philips was considered to put out quality electronics, (remember Philips/Magnavox?) Well those days are obviously over, as you will discover if you purchase any of their disposable products. Even when this junk worked, the way it was made/designed was unbelievably poor. The remote control is TINY, measuring just 5 inches long, with buttons so small any adult will have a problem pressing the tiny buttons. Oh, and don't stop your bluray to leave the room, because it will automatically RESET and go back to the beginning of the disc, and you will waste much time continually searching for the place where you paused the movie. Also, when you press "STOP" and then press "PLAY" to continue the movie, you will have to also press "PAUSE" and "PLAY" again. If you don't the player will go to a black screen every 10 minutes. Got it? Press play, pause, play again. I'm not making this up. Philips products have degenerated into complete garbage. I'm sure it won't take long for the word to spread, and this company will hopefully dissolve. Until then I would sooner shoot myself in the foot than ever buy another product from Philips. I hope I can save someone from the mistake of throwing away their cash. Buy some other brand..ANY other brand..Read full review

Isee a lot of negative reviews. This unit is great. I allows a person to plug a 200GB or more External HD into the USSB and watch movies Photos nearly any strored item easily, unlike NEWER Blue Ray units what will only run 8GB thimb drive and then only selected formats. It runs Blue Ray and DVD disks perfectly. It is old style design technically, thus it functions before they place all the new restrictive rules on what can and cannot be ran. I have used the VUDU app and it ran OK. Unfortunatly when the wonderful folks at Google took over what was once a great site YOUTUBE, they got into a war with Phillips and sent a signal to my old (EXACTLY THE SME UNIT) that killed YouTube from running on it. SO, these are great units and the one I bought works perfectly.

Great product. Easy to use as I am not good at "hooking" electronics up. This product was so easy to hook up. Beautiful picture. Absolutely pleased.
