Just got this from gold box for 9.
Therefore it's cheap compare to other unit of same level
I have the ps3 and this pioneer is not much slower on start up.
As for menu..just press menu and easily set to 720p or 1080p
and auto and HDMI or other output.
Almost all setup are yes/no question type. how hard can it be?
Picture and sound quality is on par with the ps3.
The unit is thin compare to first gen blue ray machine and remote looks clear.
The Disc tray is definately not loose.
It's normal like PC DVD-roms from samsungs or LG or sony etc..
you can't compare this to slot load ps3 stle when you have a tray.
you put a disc in and press a button to get it in...what do you do to
"manipulated" the tray? The default setup was to 480i because for those people that don't have a HDTV..
however, I hook it up to my sony receiver and sony HDTV and it comes right up through HDMI.
A menu is a menu... already has 4 languange and explain to you how to setup all kind of different audio , video setup plus menu settings.
what else do you want?
This is a budget model. it's low price.
if you want more function, pay extra 160 to get the one up model!

My initial thoughts are this is a Sharp re-badge. Although it is an attractive player, build quality appears poor. The tray rattles when opened and the front panel buttons feel thin and plasticy and like they might break if used frequently. The tray is loose and can be manipulated. The front facade on the tray is very loose and actually feels like it might fall off. Once again, it is an attractive player, but the led chapter readout is pure sharp. it is a dark purple with white lettering. It says BYE when you turn off the player.

The Kuro Link does not work - when activated it was outputting 480i to my 5010. It took me three times of playing with the settings to finally get it to output 1080p despite it was set to auto out of the box. You cannot switch output resolution on the fly. The video output resolution button on the remote does not work best I can tell. The remote is slightly different than the 51/320:

The menu is set up with four basic selections. The GUI looks very budget and is not the refined GUI i love on the 51/320, though it is probably more straightforward. There are no tweaking menus for nr, brightness, etc. There is not deep color setting, but BD playback did appear as 36 bit on my kuro.

There is no setting to adjust output resolution to 24fps. The display during playback is even worse (no mb/s read-out, no resolution).

Performance:

The cons: BD playback is a bit dull. I prefer the image on the panasonic 55, 320, 51 and oppo. SD DVD upscaling is standard, probably a hair worse than my panasonic 55. Jaggies appear in any closely spaced line and are visible in credits even when stationary. Responsiveness is sluggish and the player sounds like a blender - lots of grinding and gearing noises.

The pros: Quickstart works - the disc tray opens immediately when you press eject. It has to be right at a second or two. It loads relatively quickly - QOS loaded in a respectable 42 seconds. It struggled with POCI - taking about 1 min 27 secs to get to the disney splash screen.
