No built-in Wi-Fi; lacks onboard storage for BD-Live; no eject button on the remote; many Internet content channels feature outdated content.

The BDPN460 supports 1080p/24 playback of Bluray discs, The player has internal Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD Master Audio decoding and can pass these formats in bitstream form over HDMI, It supports BDLive Web content and can play pictureinpicture bonus content, This player supports a wide variety of online media platforms, including Netflix and Amazon VOD, YouTube, and more,
