Good product, nice design, easy set up. Needs some extra install steps to make it customs but this was good to do. In use: fast start up in relation to other players used before. Good quality pass thru of cd's. Easy acces to network drives. Playes all the needed file formats. Also tested the device with USB stick, no problems at all. Do not need the remote a lot as using the App is way more easy and in combination with the RX receiver the best way of operating the sound system.

Replaced an inexpensive Blue Ray player for the multiple time. Decided to spend a little more on a more robust player and am very happy with this Yamaha player. Solid build and matches the Yamaha RX-V679BL it is matched with. Trigger on move to input makes it much easier for most to use. Input changes really throw people foe a loop. And the AV Controller iOS/Andriod app for remote control is sweet.

I had an Samsung 3Dplayer, to match my TV, before this Yamaha. Than I bought an Yamaha AV receiver, after that I always wanted an Yamaha player to match the look of the receiver. I thought the Samsung must be doing the same job as the more expensive players. Why would I pay more ?! But than the Samsung started acting funny and I had a reason to upgrade. Now I have to watch all the Blu-Ray's I own - again. This player's sound is much better and the 3D picture is, as well. Everything is better. The CDs sound better, the SACDs are pretty cool, the Samsung player had an upscale option, but the way the regular DVDs look on this Yamaha one is much better.I'm wondering how much better the even more expensive players must be. But to find out I guess I have to upgrade my whole system. So I'm good for now.

The Blue Ray players capable of playing every type of disc i've inserted is a great option. The player is capable of playing just about any audio video file i have tried on a flash drive. The player will not recognize a standard hard drive when plugged into the USB formatted in NTFS. The Blue Ray Player only reads FAT formatted disc through the USB. The Movie play back is of good quality with up scaling to HD quality for DVDs. Internet options are limited with no ability to browse movie sites. Netflix should be included in a player of this price. I bought this player because I wanted to use its DLNA connectivity. I have many old films from the 40s through the 80 that have been converted from VHS to MPG4 format. Installed on a Seagate NAS hard drive. When using the DLNA server function the player will list all the movies and show the numbers of files. Then after 2-3 seconds the player freezes. Locked up like bricked. Nothing works the remote doesn't work and the buttons on the player do not work. The power must be unplugged and the player must sit for at least 5 minutes before it will reboot. I would not recommend this player for DLNA file player,I am very disappointed. The functionality is just not up to snuff.

I was really happy when I purchased this player. That was until I tried to stream video from my Seagate DLNA server. I have 243 MPG4 movies on my server. The players sees them notes they are there on top of access screen, but once i scroll down the list It freezes locks up. I can't access other screens go back or exit unless manually turning off the player. (The remote control will not Function during freeze up).I have to unplug the player and let sit for a few minutes. After that access is available once again. Other than what initially purchased it for the DLNA every other thing works as stated. Streaming You tube, HULA, and a couple more internet movie services works okay. Playback of just about every type of disc and video file works Okay. I was expecting I guess too much from this the Yamaha Blue Ray player to live up to all of the specifications. I'm wondering if maybe the players processor and memory are up to the task at hand with regards to DLNA server streaming video.

1. Product for playing DVD and Blue ray (great) 2. Remote software work like my Yamaha 2040 Reciver (the best) 3. Big down fall is no Netflix (makes my review a 3 rating reason could be running all with the remote if it had Netflix. This could be fixed with a software update with Netflix in it.

I bought this to upgrade an older Vizio Blu-ray player on my home theater system. I have it connected to a Yamaha RX-V677 receiver. The picture and sound exceed the older player by far. Set up went smooth and fast. The player sets on top of the receiver and matches perfectly. My only gripe is there isn't enough apps on it such as Amazon and Pandora. Fortunately for me, these apps are covered with the receiver and tv, saving me the cost of a media streamer. Other than that, I'm more than satisfied with this player and recommend it to anyone wanting a quality made Blu-ray player at a good price.
