The menu is sluggish, too, with a noticeable lag between command and response--strange, considering that the unit was otherwise reasonably fast in responding to remote control commands while playing a movie.

The MVBD2510 has a USB port conveniently located in the front, behind a tiny, sliding door; you can use it for enjoying photos and music. I noted some strange artifacting on the photos I tried, however.

The player has no support. It can, however, decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution sound tracks.

You expect a no-frills player for $175, and that's what you get with the Memorex MVBD2510. You'll need to spend more money if you want better image quality or a more full-featured player.
