I have not had this player long just a couple of weeks and I am going to return it today. It stops playing, sound stops it is not worth the money I paid for it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After quite a bit of comparison shopping and reading reviews, I decided on this Sony player. I have not had the opportunity to use all of the features yet, but I love the quick Blu-ray load times and the Apps that come built into the system. My previous Blu-ray had a large, very poorly designed remote. The Sony remote is much smaller and easier to use. My only issue is that some of the Apps don't seem to be responding.
I would recommend this to a friend!
