I've had this player for about 6months now and no problems. It turns on very fast, blu ray disc loading is also fast. It plays perfectly and has built in decoders so my receiver doesn't have to decode any audio. The apps are nice, there are tons of video apps built in. Overall very pleased. I have mostly Sony products in my home, (receiver, ps3 and ps4, speakers..) And I have never had any issues with quality when it comes to sony. Would definitely recommend.
The first one I bought would not power on. I exchanged it, the second one did not have the hdmi cable in box. I took this one back also. The last one on the shelf did not have a cable either. I had to spend another $26.00 for a hdmi cable.
