Pros

+ Support all media formats MKV/Bluray folders/Bluray ISO/DVD folders/DVD ISO etc... (http://www.p4c.phili...85360&faqview=1)

+ Options to change language/subtitles

+ Display name of Audio languages from M2TS/Bluray ISO while choosing. (I noticed problems with Samsung/other bluray/media players displays Audio1, Audio 2....)

+ Very small in size

+ Interface simple and user friendly

Cons

- Get heated up pretty quickly as there is no internal fan however no performance issue noted

- No java so do not support BD ISO menus

- Down convert DTS HD MA/LPCM all other formats passthrough

- Does not come with HDMI cable

It does not come with internal harddisk and there is no provision for the same. I was not looking for internal harddisk as I have 2.5 TB external Harddisk.

Overall a good buy at this price costed me 3600+ 145 = Rs 3745/-

If you do not have a high end Audio setup I recommend this as an entry level media player.
