This puppy works seamlessly with pretty much any kind of Blu-Ray disc. Other brands (like Samsung, Sony, Vizio or Panasonic) have a tiny restriction on the compatibility. But with this Philips model, so far, there is no issue I know of. It does not have the fancy “slick” looking but it simply works!

I originally purchased a Sony PS3 for playing BlueRay discs. The prices of BlueRay players were at that time in the $500-600 range. Following a few unplayable discs (due to formatting issues) I decided to buy a new BlueRay player…thinking that anything newer than the PS3 would have the correct firmware installed. And YES I tried multiple times to download the newer firmware from Sony’s site…ughhh what a pain.
I soon found this not to be the case with the Phillips product. The last 3 BlueRay discs from Netflix also have issues with the firmware on this machine.
I am dissapointed that the DVD industry insists upon issuing discs with firmware that is incompatable with even the newest BlueRay machines…this killed the home version of the Betavision product for Sony and will eventually be the demise of the DVD industry as online viewing is just around the corner for the masses.
Hey DVD producers…HOW ABOUT SHIPPING YOUR PRODUCT WITH THE FIRMWARE ALREADY INSTALLED ON THE DISC?? WHAT A NOVEL IDEA??? DUH!!
Soon I predict that video manufacturers like Samsung et al will produce a fine LED video screen with an imbedded computer capable of downloading and playing video on demand for a few cents per view…right now DirectV is not competitive with netflix, but soon some company will get the message that worked so well for KMart…VOLUME is the key to profits…Video on demand for $.50 per view will have customers beating a path to your door.
Samsung, how about a 46 inch big screen with a built in motherboard and sound card?
Netflix, you already have video on demand, but who wants to watch it on a 15 inch laptop screen??
KNOCK-Knock…that’s opportunity calling…Are you listening?

The Philips BDP5012/F7 Blu-ray player rivals the Big Brand Names. High Definition picture quality is excellent. DVD picture quality is excellent (near HD quality). Sound quality is excellent. Disc load time is very good. Remote control use is very good. On-screen menu provides easy navigation and simple setup. Menu button on the remote allows user to skip movie previews. Resume playback feature works great. The internal fan does a very good job at keeping the player cool. I do not anticipate updating the firmware as this player functions without defect. The Philips BDP5012/F7 Blu-ray player provides quality at an excellent price. No buyer’s remorse:)

Besides being a fast loading excellent Blu-ray Player. This machine plays all recordable DVDs, unlike the competition. It is available for a bargain price well under $200. Highly recommended!
