Harman Kardon BDP-1 Blu-ray Disc Player Review
Well, let me disagree with previous reviewers, as it looks they are some HK bashers. My experience with it is of different sort. I own another Blu-Ray player, highly rated LG BD300, and while it is great machine, with plethora of connections and offers Netflix on-board, HK definitely has an edge when it comes to picture and sound quality.
If this thing is connected to Harman's receiver (I have 3490) and great TV (I have 60pg60) the sound and picture will leave you breathless. The difference , as it is always with high quality equipment, is noticeable when all elements of signal chain is of decent quality. In this device all efforts are toward visual/audio experience. Blu-Ray of Celine's show (which is superb both visually and sonically) was played and sounded and looked like never before!
I also can't share other reviewers complains about "slowness" of the device. Again, I have LG bd300 which is highly rated for its rapid load, and so I expected (based on the reviews) some much slower timing from BDP-1. Well, if you would stay with stop-watch and time it, may be it is somewhat slower (I did not timed it), but for normal use, I can't detect any appreciable difference. As I sit down to watch movie, would it load in 20 sec or in 24 makes no difference to me.
In short, if you have a decent tv and sound system, get it. The picture is worth a thousands words.
