Overview

HDMI and coaxial digital audio outputs carry full high-definition picture and surround sound from this Samsung player to a TV or an audio system. Apps such as Netflix, Pandora and YouTube add streaming.

Choose it for a basic disc player that doubles as a streaming box and can feed an existing receiver. Wi-Fi and Ethernet are never named, so confirm the network connection before relying on the apps.

Who it's for

A TV and a receiver that accepts coaxial digital audio suit the output set. Buyers who want multiple HDMI ports or more apps should look at other players.
