Philips 4K UHD Dolby Vision Blu-ray Player w/ Built-in Wireless LAN and Streaming Apps (BDP7502)

It plays discs, period. DVD, Blu-rays, home-burned DVDs, home-burned blu-rays, 4k Blu-rays, etc. Pretty much whatever I throw at it, it plays without any trouble. Thats what its good for. If youre looking for a streaming device, dont get this one - the apps are too limited to be useful. Get a Roku or anything else. What has been a huge difference maker for me is the dual HDMI ports. I have an older HDMI receiver that didnt support 4K but had no need to replace it at all. Thanks to the dual HDMI ports, I have the video port connected to my TCL Dolby Vision TV and the audio port connected to my Onkyo HDMI receiver - so Im getting 4K Dolby Vision audio and Dolby TrueHD from my receiver - without spending anything extra on adapters or a new receiver.

Ive been using this player for a month and have had no issues with it. It paired automatically with my Samsung 4K UHD tv and turns the tv on when it is turned on so it is ready to play in a few seconds. It has a small footprint and is quiet when playing a video. The quality of the 4K videos is stunning when played on this player and broadcasted on the 4K tv. Ive read, in other revues, that the unit produces heat when left in quick start mode so leave quick start mode off during set up because the unit starts up quickly anyway.

I have bought two of these players. Aluminum casing makes this the best build out there. Have watched several 4k movies and not one hiccup. No freezing or turning off. Blurays jump out and look almost as good as 4k. Best one out there by far.

I recently purchased an LG OLED 4k set and decided to take the plunge on an Ultra-HD Blu-Ray player to go along with it. Ive been happy with this one so far as it came with a HDMI cable to go to my TV and I did have to supply a second HDMI cable (audio only) to go to my AV receiver to get surround sound audio as my receiver isnt compatible with the latest HDMI/Copy protection standards...so its nice they though of this by having two HDMI outs on the player. However, by default it uses an alternate audio soundtrack for the HDMI audio out port which gets downmixed to plain old dolby digital or dts...you have to go into the menus and disable this feature to get the full 7.1 or better audio mixes. Why this isnt the default setting I dont know and I thought there was something wrong until I searched around enough to find this default needed to be changed.

I purchased this unit on Thanksgiving. Ive been hoping for a sale. My needs for this product are a little unique. I am a blind individual, Philips has implemented a screen reader in their new TV and Home Video lines. I was able to completely setup without any assistance. Setup and update was easy enough. Although, the UI is clunky and takes getting used to. The navigational cursor on remote is a PIA... Needs a redesign. With that said, I do like the unit and its ease of use. For my blind family.... make sure your wireless password doesnt include symbols. The screen reader wasnt reading symbols to input in text field. Characters and numbers are no issue. Also, it states YouTube will not work with Voice Guide. I’ll use apps on Apple TV or Fire... no big deal! Dolby Atmos is fantastic on this player. Worked as it should.

So after using the player for a few weeks I can say Im very happy with it. Ive played 30 or so 4Ks and a lot of Blu Rays and it has played them all flawlessly. It does make a little noise but I cant hear it from where I sit when watching TV. It does a nice job upscaling regular blus. It would be nice if it had Dolby Vision already but I only have two 4Ks with DV anyway and there arent anymore coming down the line that have it either so I can wait till they get the upgrade ready.

I ordered the BDP7502, but received the BDP7302. From what I have been able to find out, I believe theyre the same.. however, the 7302 may be specific to Sams Club as thats where it was shipped from. The 4k player comes with an HDMI cord which was nice. It didnt come with a manual, so I wasnt sure about some of the player settings. After getting the audio and video set up properly, everything worked beautifully. A message pops up when starting a movie about checking the USB port for BD-Live, it goes away.. you can also insert a USB drive. There hasnt been an update for Dolby Vision as of yet, but Im still very happy with the 4k player and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 looks gorgeous on my 4k TV.

Pro: One of the few that does ACTUAL 4k to your 4k tv. Many 4k players upscale to be very close to true 4k. This player also does a great job upscaling blu-ray and DVD. Watched my first DVD of "The Siege" from 98 and was actually surprised by how good it looked. Con: Philips dvd players usually are slow to boot and kinda slow interface and this one is no different. It isnt horrible but not great either. (But worth it for it being one of the few players that do Tru-4k )

Loads decently quick, remote is responsive. Image quality is excellent. Seems solid and well built. Not much more to say except that not all UHD transfers are true 4K. Many are 2K (1080P) masters upscaled to 4K format with no increase in real resolution. A recommended magazine is WIDESCREEN REVIEW, aimed at the high end home theater enthusiast, will have detailed UHD title reviews that you wont get elsewhere.

Works great! The unit I received is brand new. The box was unopened. Updating the unit was fast and simple using a wired network connection. I just finished watching the 4K blu ray of the Japanese movie Your Name that I purchased from Amazon.co.jp. The playback performance was fine and everything looked beautiful. The unit itself is nicely designed as a short square box. It is not a large rectangle as other home electronics. It is simple to use, easier than using a PS4 for blu ray playback (Note: PS4 Pro does not support 4K blu ray).
