It does what it says it does
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: nononsense
BR Player works well for it's price range. The WIFI to connect to things like Netflix is reliable, though it can take a few moments after start up to connect to the network.
If I say anything negative about it, it would be that there aren't enough channel apps available like there are for items like the Roku.
I would recommend this to a friend!

pretty good purchase
on September 29, 2014

The only cons are:
It is very slow to respond when you turn it on or off with the remote. There is about a 3-4 second delay between pushing the power button and the device turning on or off.
The web browsing capability is pretty much useless because the processor speed is so slow that it is not worth it to view websites through this device
I thought I would be able to use it for streaming video from any website, but that is not really possible because most internet video requires a plug-in or something to view, but there is not an option to install those things for this device.

Hello ARUSS, please take a look at the following links which include information about time of response for the unit and also how the internet browser works when searching for websites and viewing content.

Good picture quality--slow and a bit irritating
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: pgirl
Picture quality is great--first time having a blue-ray. We got it to replace our broken DVD player and upgrade--we thought--streaming--which we were using through ROKU before. The ROKU was much faster to load and less irritating to use than this is. It has to reconnect to the internet every time and redownload content, where with my ROKU--maybe because it was always on?--the content was always there, loaded quickly and easier to scroll through channels etc
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NOT the best by far!
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: stjp
I found it easy to plug in the wires and hook up to tv and after that I have spent a lot of unnecessary time with this machine. Software is hard to use, internet services and menu's need a lot of improvement, sharing pics, music, videos and anything else from a pc is almost impossible and mostly glichy. I saw a lot of Sony refurbished products for sale before I bought this one and now I know why. I should have got my money back..

Not Like Sony Used To Be
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: mercerlake
Bought this when the my old TV with DVD player died. Also wanted to use it for streaming music and movies. DVD player works great. Every time I wanted to listen to music, or stream a movie, it would ask if I wanted to connect to the internet, followed by a LONG signing in process. Spent HOURS on the phone trying to fix this bug. Finally, I sent it back and they replaced it with another. Same problem. Recently there was a software upgrade and the problem MAY be solved. It remains to be seen. Sony just did not seem to care that this was THEIR problem.

Works well - hate controller
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: markp
The blu ray and internet work well but the remote is tiny has no lighting so you have to end up hitting the wrong button on the remote constantly or you have leave a light on. It is hard to believe Sony is so short sighted to do something that stupid to save small change on the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible.
on September 28, 2014
Posted by: kedward2
This product is terrible. My ability to connect to Netflix was abysmal. I bought this to upgrade my 7 year old wireless connected DVD player and this one is worse. It would take me several attempts to connect and when it finally would I could watch 3 seconds and then it would take 10 miinutes to load. Netflix worked just fine on iPad, laptop, and streaming tv downstairs this entire time. I'd send it back if I hadn't thrown away the box.

We noticed you are experiencing some difficulties with your Sony Blu-ray disc player. For connectivity issues, please check the link below:
https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34310/p/47329,47564,91677/c/65,66/kw/wifi%20drops
The Internet connection speed can vary for many reasons. Below are the most common causes:
*Network Sharing
*Wireless Connection Strength
*Router Type
*Connection to Your ISP
Any wireless product can experience slow connection speeds. It is normally due to the distance away from the router or other electronic devices in the home interfering with the wireless signal. To improve the wireless connection, try moving the router access point closer to the Sony product that is streaming the video. If the router is close enough, using a wired Ethernet connection is suggested instead.
Sony recommends using a wireless (N) router for streaming Internet video. Using a wireless (B) router will not work very well, if at all, for streaming video and would be the cause of the video stopping, pausing or playing poorly. A wireless (G) router is not as fast as (N), but should be able to reliably stream video. However, HD video will stream better with (N).
NOTE: A connection speed of 2.5 Mbps or higher is recommended for streaming standard definition (SD) Internet video, and a connection speed of 10 Mbps or higher is recommended for streaming high definition (HD) Internet video.
