Pioneer BDP-170-K 3D Blu-ray Player with Wi-Fi - Black

So far so good - after a few days of use this Pioneer player is proving to be an excellent buy. First up the price (below £100) is a bit of a steal considering you get Pioneer quality with the ability to play just about any type of audio-visual file you care to throw at it. The player comes with 2 USB sockets so you can use memory sticks, memory cards (via a card reader) or an external hard drive as your source. It plays blu ray, dvd, cd and sacd discs and data discs but also has the ability to stream audio and video using Miracast although I have yet to look into this fully.Very pleased as for me this solves lots of issues around storing music and video files and having different players for each - also avoids the need to burn everything to disc. It's also enabled me to play my music collection via my av receiver. There's more to discover with this player but so far it's a great buy.

Great quality Blu-ray player at a low price. This receives great reviews from a number of Home Entertainment magazines including 5 stars from What HiFi.

A good, basic player, although a little wider than my Pioneer stacking components, so a little disappointed, as the specification stated the incorrect width. I wish I had spent a little more on the next model up though.

Works flawlessly and performs well for the money plus unlike Samsung's and a few others the disc loads quietly and plays quietly, however at 3 months old the front display has failed, pretty poor for Pioneer.Having now read a few forums this problem is not uncommon, needless to say I wasn't happy.I rang Amazon and they were great,a new Blu-Ray player arrived today, hopefully this one will last a bit longer.Well done Amazon. Since then it now refuses to eject the disc 7 out of 10 times, now out of warranty, I wont be buying Pioneer again.

Works well and excellent picture. Disappointing that the only 2 internet connections are Youtube and Picasa. This was stated on the product information but I missed it. Iplayer etc. would have been welcome.Kenneth.

Very good. An improvement to an older 5 years Panasonic I had before. Sound quality is very good, too.

Positives first: I have no issues with the quality of playback on this at all. It'll play pretty much whatever you throw at it and picture quality is excellent. As a bonus it's one of the easier players to make multi-region for DVD. (We went with a chip remote for a tenner from ebay). Price is reasonable too.The overall design of the player is a different matter. (I should make it clear that our player is located under the TV close to the floor, by the way). For a start, the remote is horrible; one of those numb plasticky things you have to really mash the button repeatedly to make it do anything. Add to this the IR receiver is located under the disc tray, so when the tray is open it can block line of sight and you have to wave the crappy remote around at different angles to make it close.My other major beef with the outside is the recessed digital readout. Why?! It is set so far back into the front panel that it quickly becomes impossible to read if you're looking at it from any other angle than straight on. It's impossible to tell that this is the case by looking at pictures of the player if you're thinking of buying.Lastly the menu screens and navigation are clunky and ugly. When you turn it on with no disc, it goes to a home screen which just says 'no disc' and an irritating and pointless Miracast message which is impossible to get rid of. You then have to press the home button to get yet another home screen and go through several submenus if you want to play something off for example, the USB stick. Even something as simple as wanting to view time remaining for a film you're watching involves pressing the function button, then scrolling down, then across, then down, then trying to decipher which icon indicates what you want.......Much of this stuff could be sorted out with a firmware upgrade but I'm not holding my breath. It does what it's advertised to, but overall I wish I'd gone with a different make.

this pioneer Blu-ray player is a wicked peace of kit smooth at playing your moves and the twin DACS wow it brings the sound of your moves and music to life via a good AV Amp I happen to own the VSX324 SYSTEM . SO if your looking for a good quality peace of kit buy it you'll be amazed.
