Cons: noisy disc loading, clumsy menu navigation, poor documention, short power cord, lack of legacy inputs, you have to turn on the TV to see CD track info.
First off, image-wise the 799 excels in providing a clear, superbly detailed picture. Of course, it helps that I'm watching fantastic Criterion Blu-ray transfers. But it is apparant that the Momitsu can handle motion exceptionally well, which is after all a stumbling block for many -more expensive, bigger-name- Blu-ray players.
The menus for the 799 are generally comprehensive. There is the expected 24fps Film Mode, as well as options for BD Live connectivity. However, the big stumbling block with the setup menus is that they cannot be accesssed during playback, and, at least in the case of Criterion BDs, the film doesn't have a Resume function if you stop the film and delve into the setup menu. After using a Pioneer Blu-ray player, all this seems very messy.
However, the biggest drawback with the Momitsu 799 is that huge amount of noise kicked out by the unit. It is so noisy that it necessitates listening through headphones. Although this is a considerable design flaw, and one that has been rightly pointed out by numerous reviewers, I don't find it overly bothersome because I like listening to the TV with headphones anyway.
The Momitsu is a good, compact, variable current Blu-ray player. If you can live with the huge amount of noise the unit produces, then it will be a good hi-def friend. But that is a big "if".
I had this player for only a day before I returned it. The first time I played a DVD I heard a constant high-pitched whirring or ringing noise coming from the player. It reminded me of the sound a cicada insect makes during the hot afternoons in Summertime. It's really noticeable during the quiet moments of a movie. Even in a cabinet with the glass door shut I could still hear it. I found it really annoying, and couldn't deal with it after awhile. Maybe I have sensitive ears, and for some people perhaps this isn't such a deal breaker, but I'd rather just get another player. The remote was also awkward.
The shame of it is that the picture quality was excellent, especially when it upscaled standard DVDs. I liked design and compact size of the player, too. I never got to test its multi-region capabilities, so I can't comment on that. I hear that the Momitsu BDP-899 is a quieter player, and does not have the same noisy problem that the 799 has. I would say if you want a region free player, to pay a little more and get the 899, if you can find it.
