I've only had this unit for a couple of weeks but already I can tell it is a better one than the previous model I had which was also a Sony. The size is small which means you don't need a lot of shelf space. It was easy to set up and the response time from the remote is super fast. Not so with the previous one I had.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi BFS56, It's good to know that you are satisfied with this unit. Thank you for choosing Sony.
Was very happy with the set up. Just had to follow screen prompts and was up and running in a few minutes. The remote worked even though the unit is in a cabinet out of line of sight.

SLOW!! Apps CRASH ALL THE TIME! DROPS NETWORK Conn

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sorry player. Slow to load. All the apps crash all the time! Drops my Wi-Fi connection constantly. No buttons on the outside to play a CD!! YES,THIS FEATURE IS STILL VERY NECESSARY! What if my TV broke? Then I can't even use this thing to listen to music! You can not operate this thing without a display already hooked up. Oh,the one button on this box,the EJECT button, only works like,NEVER. Now my precious disk is stuck inside. Lousy Hardware. Lousy Software(apps). Zero stars. Oh,the web browser (Opera) is useless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Kthed, This is what we want to hear. Thank you for letting us know that you are a loyal Sony customer, we do appreciate it. Thank you also for choosing Sony.
It's our first bluray player, so I don't have much to compare it to, but we are satisfied with the playback quality with all media (have used it for bluray and DVD discs, and Hulu Plus and Netflix streaming). Easy setup, internet works well (have only used Ethernet cable, haven't tried WiFi). Only two minor complaints: can't figure out how to remove apps from the My Apps area of the home screen once they have been added (I accidently added something I didn't mean to add to it, and haven't been able to figure out how to take it off, even though I am fairly tech proficient and a good Googler); it has frozen once or twice when trying to open the disc drive, usually when I try to open or close it during playback, but sometimes even if I stop the disc first. This has only happened two or three times and hasn't happened recently, so I'm hoping it won't become a problem down the road as it ages. Overall we are happy with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi librarianmom, its nice to hear that you're at most pleased with your new Blu-ray player. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony!
Purchased a Samsung which had no indication whether it was turned on or not. The Samsung was very slow and died after one week. Purchased the Sony, very fast, indicator light to let you know it is on and functioning. We could not be happier!
I would recommend this to a friend!
