 Good idea but missing major features June 24, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The item looks great and has a plethora of home server features, but for this pricetag you would expect it to work flawlessly and not be missing some very important features. It does not decode nor transmit DTS-HD and DDHD audio signals which is a big negative. Another big negative is that it is not yet supporting BD-RE authored blu ray discs which is what I have been making for my home videos. As the previous user mentioned, disc loading is awefully slow and can be embarrassing if you are trying to show it off to friends. Hopefully future firmware updates can address these issues.
 Awesome unit with a few hangups June 13, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This product is truly awesome. It is asthetically gorgeous and is an incredible piece of engineering. However, it has some shortcomings which really stand out:
1. The unit is very slow to start up
2. UNBELIEVABLY slow to load a DVD
3. Even MORE unbelievable slow to start playing a DVD, even non-BluRay
4. Doesn't seem to support fast forwarding through BluRay discs
However the pros far outweigh the issues above.
The menuing system is easy to use and understand. Ripping music, photos and video is a breeze, including non protected DVDs.
The quality of the picture is stunning - even non Bluray discs (connected to a Bravia XBR4)
I was specifically looking for a jukebox DVD changer for Bluray discs and this appears to be the only game in town.
Overall I'm very happy with the unit, although I look forward to firmware updates that will increase performance.
