A superb all-round player, the BDP 7300 brings all of the important features and can even output analog multichannel sound. The quick and quiet disc drive earns extra brownie points, but the Philips does trip up in terms of DVD playback, showing...

This machine suddenly reverts your 3D Blu-Ray DVD to 2D half way through a movie. You then have to stop the machine, reboot and start again! Frustratingly, I then used their manual to see if I could run a firmware update only to find that one was not...
