"First, this is upgradeable you just need to down load an ISO file burn to cd and insert it to player-Done. Secondly, it does decode all codecs and formats with the latest firmware upgrade which is currently 1.25a. Easy to set up, plugged in HDMI to Player then to Denon 3808 then plugged in power. First it will walk you through a basic setup takes about 1 minute. Mine came with firmware 1.08 - upgraded to 1.25a. ..." Read Full Review »

"Great unit with excellent sound. The dynamic range on this unit was higher than any other unit in this price range, and it shows. I bought this for the 7.1 analog outs, since my pre-amp cannot decode the new sound formats on its own. Coming from a PS3 to this was a HUGE difference. Much better S/N r …" Read Full Review »

Pros

"A common complaint about BRD players is slow start-up time. Not having had one before, I can't say how the 51-FD compares with others, but who cares? Life may be short, but it's not that short.
