Overview

Not a smart streaming box first, this compact player is a straightforward Full HD Blu-ray and DVD machine that adds Netflix, Pandora and YouTube. It connects to the TV over one HDMI output and runs from a remote.

A light, shelf friendly body that plays discs in Full HD makes for a simple setup. The connection list shows only HDMI, so how the streaming apps reach the internet is unclear from the listing.

Who it's for

Guest rooms, dorms and secondary TVs that just need discs to play are well served. Anyone after Wi-Fi apps or three-D playback should look further.

Performance notes

Picture is set by the Full HD output and the disc source, with DVDs showing less detail than Blu-ray. Streaming needs a network connection that the listing does not describe. Surround audio formats pass over HDMI to a receiver or TV.
