Congrats Jmascreen,
How are they sounding with Audio CD's and particularly Music?

Just had a casual listening, will post when I do a serious listening
Aah! This sounds so familiar. I bought an Oppo BDP 105 and even such an expensive player did not have in-built wifi!!! I was taking it for granted and never cared to research this feature until the box arrived with a painful surprise. I finally bought a linksys wifi extender and hooked the player to my NAS. I have not faced a single problem even while playing a 15GB movie image over an N wifi. Still not sure why such a step-brotherly treatment to something so ubiquitous.

Pioneer BDP180 Delivered today evening 
, Continuous Listening Music
Musical Part
Pros
It plays any format of Audio flawlessly
Function to move the tracks in custom order(Playlist)
Mids and Hi-Freq are accurate and Bass is so punchy(Compared to my old DVD Player)
Much clarity on the Overall music.
Just a Button to turn the Display off, when we play music.
Cons
There is No Mute button :-(
There is No Volume control (Since my Amp dont have Remote, Now need to manually adjust the volume in Amp)
When we need to play music from USB, It involves much steps to go to the Source-->USB-->Then select folder\Music,It would be better If we have some buttons in the remote to choose the Audio\video\Photo etc.
Still exploring

Exactly, Just Press the Display button, It should be Second or third from Right top corner of the Remote.Continuation
Pros.
1. (Video)I could easily switch between the various resolution by clicking the "HDMI" button,Though the switching is possible via Settings.Played a 720p in 1080P\I and Not bad really
.I could get pictures in Full screen.2.(Audio)Program has option to view the property of the Track played and My Fav Shuffle option available.
3.Remote have ample features and buttons were properly placed(I.e Numbers are in the Bottom and Most of the freq used Functions are in the Middle.
4.Network connectivity is So easy (Just in a min i was able to play You tube App),There is Button for Direct You tube as well.
Cons
1.We cannot navigate in File\Folder while Film being player, When you click Menu,The control come out of the Video Playback.
2.(Audio) Some tracks are distorting :-( (Might be they are in MP3 format),Which use to sound smooth when I use to play the same track in DVD with Two points less from Full volume.(Missing Volume control again)
3.Remote is Sleek But finding difficulty operating in wider angles( Less than 40 Degree and Greater than 150 Degree is bit prob.
4.The BR\DVD\CD tray is not exact fit for CD,I just placed a CD few millimeter(just a guess) from its actual position and the CD was not detected.

Nope, It plays only the Songs from a Folder and not playing the songs from immediate folders.

Hey people...
I am planning to buy this player by this Monday.. Can someone please tell me how good is the analog stereo output (DAC) with both cd disc as well as USB.
Any lag in the audio output with USB? Can you please reply?
I am going to pair it with my SONY 1050 receiver.

Hi Vinod,
I would say it have clear Mids and Highs compared to my Old DVD player;Playback from USB or Disk has no much difference in Audio Quality (MP3 Format)
I heard few new sounds from CD too.

My LG bd 670 that i got 2 years ago had wifi and i got it in India. So it couldn't be that much of a rarity. But i agree it is pretty darn useful - you can get firmware updates automatically, play files from any devices connected to the same wifi n/w (network shares on computers show on blu ray player menu automatically)

The pre out is good enough for the av receivers to play audio?

Oh, I dont have AVR to comment.But some FM's could have idea.But understand that the Out for AVR should be decent as well,since they have decent Analogue Out.
Some times the Volume seems to be Low from few Movies ,Which is of Low quality.Once I gone through the forums Got to know thats nature of BDP's in general.

Ops, The Player is No Playing the MKV Files (Songs Only) But the MKV Movies are playing good.
Any Suggestion Please:-(

My experience playing music was very similar
Exactly! And imagine if you do not have a monitor/display connected!

I found this feature really cool. Helps choose optimal video resolution. A similar feature for the audio also helps with BDs.
Awfully slow indeed! My decade old Sony DVP-NS50P responds 4 times faster.
