A disc player for someone with an older component-video display who wants Blu-ray playback at high-definition resolution. Without an HDMI output it will not suit a modern TV that only accepts digital connections.

Overview
Not a streaming box and not a universal player, the Philips DVP3345VB is a disc player built around Blu-ray media. It outputs video through component connections and runs at high-definition resolution. The unit weighs a few pounds and comes in a black finish that blends with most media furniture.
Component video output lets this deck feed an older display that predates digital connections, and Blu-ray playback preserves disc libraries for that screen. The missing HDMI port closes off newer televisions, so the player only makes sense where analog video inputs still exist.
Who it's for
A living room or den with a component-video television and a collection of Blu-ray discs is where this player earns its place. The absence of an HDMI output rules it out for anyone whose display has gone all digital.

Performance notes
Picture quality depends on the component video connection and the display it feeds, since the player sends an analog high-definition signal. Disc handling and load times follow the drive mechanism rather than any processing feature.
