Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've only owned this player for a week, and have watched 2 UHD movies on my 75 inch sony 4K TV. It's my first UHD player, and the picture is what I would expect...clearer than normal Blu-Ray. That's especially noticeable in small details like lettering and distant people in a scene. But I'd expect that from any UHD play. So I can only pick nits with the operation of the player. Being the 2017 version I expected minor annoyances to be ironed out, but: First, there is no indicator on the front to know if the unit is powered on or off. The only Power light is on top, which you can only see standing above the player. Not smart. Maybe I'll mount a mirror up there! Next, I looked in vain for an on screen display of play time on a DVD, like minutes into the movie and minutes remaining. None to be found. My previous players all had that feature. Also, there are apparently some feature that can only be used with a Samsung TV. There is a "123" button on the remote, for example, that seems to have no function in my setup. Too bad other TV's can't take advantage of whatever those special features are. Finally: As I said, it's my first UHD player. HDMI2 cable is not just recommended...its mandatory for a UHD TV. Hooking it up with my old HDMI cable resulted in a "no input detected" message on my TV. GIven that, including an HDMI2 cable would have been nice for those wanting to unpack it and immediatley hook it up. Still, it worked out of the box, was easy to set up and delivers UHD resolution so I can't ding it more than one star. If I find other issue I'll revisit this review. Update 1: To see the time into or remaining on a DVD, hit the Pause/Resume button. That calls up a banner that takes up about 1/4 of the top of the screen, but eventually times out.
