3000 seriesBlu-ray Disc player

I bought this for watching BLU-ray in stereo in the kitchen on a philips 274E ultra-HD monitor as not mant players come with a stereo output. Player is a bit slow to load etc but it has a sort of querky charm. Hi quality components inside and has been dead reliable. I paid £25 second hand, as always the quality of philips electronics is excellent. Highly recommended bargain if you can find one.

The picture quality of my DVDs is sharper than on my earlier player (of 2002 vintage). The installation was fairly straightforward and I have used the Internet connection to check for software updates. I am not yet familiar with all the remote control options, but have used the main ones successfully. The player has a black finish and is in no way obtrusive. It seems to me to be good value for money.

Cannot fault this excellent player. You can pay a lot more to get a lot less - or you can get a BDP3100.

exceptional picture quality,easy to set up and use, good remote control, very quite when running, would recommend.

For me the most important feature of a blu-ray player is picture quality and the 3100 is very good. I have not tried the sound through a 5.1 home cinema amp but have routed the analogue phono out sockets to a decent stereo amp and the sound is a marked enhancement over listening through the panel tv speakers (which generally are not that good whatever tv you have). The player is simple to use with a simple straightforward remote. The player does not have any of the "smart" features such as iplayer or you tube, which some rival players have, but if you do not intend connecting the 3100 to the internet then you are not missing anything.

lovely designed , not just a long box like so many blu ray players , but what i like most, apart from the great picture quailty ,is the fact it has a front usb port , so easy to put memory cards in for blu live and replaying at a later date , no more messing around the rear of the unit ,

Very easy to use with a nice uncomplicated remote. It is also a quiet product. Playback is very good indeed, clear and precise picture. Altogether a very well recommended product, I also bought one of their HD tv,s because I was so impressed with the Philips brand.

The most enoying thing about this blu-ray player for me is the buttons are extremely unresponsive, and it is generally slow. Now 2 years after buying it, it has developed a "No disc" problem every time i try to play a dvd. Looks are good, but ease of use is bad. Generally quite disapoointed as it is a Philips.
