So this is a FUNAI

AND SO THE funai goes back.
I didn't want to, but hit the reset switch on my SHARP BLU player. IT was either that or toss
it.
AND THE funai is okay, but after all a cheap product. HALF CHASSIS, attached power cord, less refined, and of course cheaply made. Okay, but a stopgap, really.
MY RECOMMENDATION is faint, this is a good starter or interim player.
I mean, 68 bucks? New my Sharp was a few hundred bucks, so 68 bucks is no risk,
really. But a decent player with a detachable power cord, full chassis, and all of the bells and whistles is preferable, at the end of the day.

Someone found the downside, eh...looks like the shine is off the rose.

Not really. The Funai is what it is, and quite decent, and what the world is probably
going to. I just prefer something with a little more sophistication.
At the end of the day, the excellent way Sharp handles DVD was the deciding factor,
and its handling of BLU is slightly better than the Funai.
I also like a detachable power cord and a full chassis and other "perks" for the same reason I like gold plate plugs, just a sign of a better product, is all.
You get what you pay for, and i got the Sharp to work, so I had a choice. But I
could have lived with the Funai just fine until my fortunes improved. I have always just liked
my SHARP AQUOS, is all.
