Supports 3D Blu-Ray Discs. Built-in WiFi. HDMI AV output. Has a USB 2.0 port on the front and an IR receiver. On the back, there is a 100 Mbps LAN port, an HDMI port, a coaxial (coax) audio port, and a port for a 12V AC Adapter (Included AC Adapter’s model number is AC-M1208UC). It sadly does not have a 2.5” audio jack.

Will add more information as I tinker with it.

IR Reciever uses the Sony BDP-N460 Blu-Ray IR profile.

It can run MP4s and MP3s(?) from a USB

You can screen mirror it

It supports "internet videos" (?) (it keeps telling me that but I don't know what it means)

It's very lightweight, so it's perfect for traveling with, especially if you have a portable display.

The range on the IR receiver is UNREAL, it's at least 20ft (~6.6 meters) (probably more, but that's as far away from it as I can be without leaving line-of-sight).

It has a web browser

It can also view images

It has a built-in parental control feature

The USB port also supports memory card readers, digital still cameras, and digital video cameras

It's region-locked

Honestly, if you can get one of these used or at a thrift store for less than $100 or so, it's a great deal. I paid $20 for mine at a thrift store, took it apart, cleaned it, reassembled it, and now it works perfectly.
