Not Impressed

Advantages: sound and picture are good when working
Disadvantages: very slow and didn't work properly

Unfortunately our blue ray dvd player has not been very good. The picture started freezing when watching a film. So did the music when we played CDs. We took it back to where we got it, who then had to send it to a place in Surrey, as this was the only recognised company in our area that was allowed to touch it to repair it. We got it back after 2/3 weeks and it seemed fine for 1st 2/3 days but then sat down to watch a film and exactly the same thing ...
...and we have demanded a brand new machine or our money back, as our gaurantee runs out in April. It is unfortunate as the person at the place where we bought it said it's the only one they've known gone wrong!! There's always one!! The reviews for it are really good but we are not paying £800 for equipment that doesn't work and after April, we will have to pay for, to repair, which is also not something we are prepared to do or should have to do. ...

The League Of Extraordinary Blu-Ray

Advantages: Fantastic picture, sound and at a pretty good price.
Disadvantages: Price can vary. You'll never want to leave your sofa and so any work!

...staunch support by Sony and Panasonic amongst others, and boasted about the later updates to its technology available via internet linking, which it claimed would help it stay ahead of the pack in the future. Blu-Ray whilst initially lagging behind, soon caught up due to it's profile 2.0 updates giving it previously missing features such as the picture in picture and more interactive extra features available vi BD-Live (requiring internet link as ...
...time. The Panasonic DMP-BD 80 EG is a little piece of magic --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Panasonic are thought of by many as the kings of Blu-Ray manufacturers. They produce high-quality, admittedly not always cheap Blu-Ray players with an emphasis on great picture and sound quality. The 80 EG keeps with this tradition admirably. It's been out now for some months but is still one of the newer players ...

You shouldn't suffer from 'the blues' with this Blu-Ray !

Advantages: Great looking, fantastic picture quality and value for money. Reputable and reliable brand.
Disadvantages: The shiny and glossy appearance dust show the dust so get the duster out between films!

...on the market currently. Samsung is a quality brand - well known in the electronics industry for producing televisions and mobile phones among other devices. APPEARANCE -------------------- As we have come to expect from Samsung, the BD-P1600 is black and glossy. This looks fantastic although you'll need to dust it regularly to keep it looking crisp and clean. Just ask the missus to do it - simple! No, I didn't mean that. Tell her to do it. Only ...
...if you prefer, purchase a Samsung usb dongle and connect wirelessly via a wi-fi connection, or upgrade via a disc. You can access the BD Live servce and extra bonuses on certain discs via the internet connection. There are 2 USB slots included with this player which is a brilliant addition believe me. You can connect other devices such as USB memory drives to add to the 256mb internal memory, or as mentioned above - the wi-fi dongle. One of the ...
