Nice Introductary Player

Other than a slow time getting started and a little sensitivity to the playback of some Blu-ray discs (very small freeze time), this is a good player for the money.

Great picture for both up-scaling DVD and Blu-ray ; Simple set-up and operation ; Good amount of status information provided
