GIEC BDP-G5600

Bought from AliExpress in Oct 2025. The Giec BDP-G5600 is a genuine 4k Blu ray player not just a 4k up-scaler. I bought (Cost including delivery was just over 1000 $Au) option 4 with firmware update, jail break and 4tb hard drive. I found player to be very good, comes with decent backlit remote control. There really isn't much choice for us in Australia, I tried Panasonic UB820 and didn't like it (stoped between layers and has a cheap feel) so I returned it. Sony's lack a display and most of what I play is CD's, I do not want tv on just to listen to cd's. Giec are unknown here but seem to make decent player's. I love the inclusion of both a physical disc drive and a built-in Hard Drive bay. No complaints except maybe... Owners manual almost useless, No english next to keys on remote control, (most key's are easy to work out or have symbols next to them) and does not display all track info on display (although does on Tv) when playing CD's. I did also have to buy a SATA HD inclosure to write files to HD from my Mac. I decided to write a review on this because there are very few out here, I hope this helps. Is China the new Japan?
