Best Film of 2016
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is easily the best film of 2016. It features a compelling story, intriguing insight and an outstanding performance by Tom Hanks in the lead role. It doesn't matter if you know how this real-life story ends; it's seeing how it develops that is fascinating.

A Very Pleasant Surprise
on November 5, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
When this movie was released in theaters, a number of major critics panned it, which is why I was surprised by how much I really liked it. A fascinating story, it was well-presented and well-acted, especially by Ms. Lawrence and by Virginia Madsen, who played a character role unlike any I'd ever seen her play before. Definitely worth a two-hour investment in time.

Lesson Learned
on August 27, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have purchased many different blu-ray players over the years, including a very expensive Oppo model. In my experience, the most reliable players come from Sony, as a prior Sony lasted longer and performed just as well as the Oppo model for which I paid five times what the Sony cost. This Sony model is no exception: An excellent player that loads quickly, plays beautifully and cost well under $100. Lesson learned: When it comes to blu-ray players, stick with Sony.

A Real Dud
on August 27, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have had a number of blu-ray players over the years, including a very expensive Oppo model, but had never tried a Samsung until this one. After less than eight hours of use, it began freezing and skipping on a disc I knew played fine. The next day I returned the Samsung to Best Buy and replaced it with the Sony BDP-S3700, which has worked flawlessly since I got it.

Remastered to Please
on June 25, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the movie that made Will Smith a major star, for reasons which are readily apparent on viewing. The really good news is that this is a newly-remastered edition of the classic sci-fi movie. And it looks way better than any prior edition. If you like this movie, this is the must-have edition you'll want to own.

Beautiful Remaster
on June 25, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
An engrossing movie is made even better by this newly-remastered version which is head and shoulders above any prior editions. Tom Hanks has turned in many memorable performances, with this one at or near the top of the list. This is moviemaking at its finest and a must-have classic.

Almost Like Being There
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ever wonder what it would be like to climb Mt. Everest? This movie, based on a true story, literally gave me chills for its spectacular depiction of the forces working against anyone climbing Everest. The sensational photography alone is worth investing two hours of your time.

Engrossing From the Get-Go
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
Absolutely gripping, almost documentary-like approach vividly illustrates U.S. law-enforcement efforts to try to reduce drug trafficing from Mexico into the U.S. Superbly acted by all, with special kudos to Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin. One of the best movies of the year.

Intriguing History Lesson
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: palomine6
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fact-based and most interesting look at the life and times of Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was among a sizeable group of so-called "Communists or Communist sympathizers" who were blacklisted toward the middle of the 20th century. Fascinating to look back to those days and to see how some things have changed yet some haven't.

Is this Sony BDP-S3700 Blu-ray Player the 2016 model which replaces the Sony BDP-S3500 2015 model? If so, are there any differences between the two models?

Yes, this is the new, 2016 model replacing the BDP-S3500. As I did not own the prior model, I do not know what the differences are with the new model. What I do know is that the BD-S3700 I own has performed flawlessly since I began using it about a month ago (and I use it for an average of 190 hours a month). It loads very quickly, plays beautifully and the price is right.

This Sony BDPS6500 Blu-ray player features built-in Wi-Fi. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.
 

What setting do you use for 7.1 sound?

Cannot get 7.1 working. I must be missing in the setup. Help
I had the same problem, which the manual doesn't address. Finally figured it out: in the audio setup mode, the unit defaults to "Stereo." To get either 7.1 or 5.1 sound, you need to change "Stereo" to "Surround." That should do it.
