 "Great Price for a top quality Blu Ray player" 2010-01-07
By Bruce E. Roberts (California)
I was leary of low prices on Blu Ray players but I noticed that all brands were starting to come down in price. When I saw this Sony BD player with BD Live for $139.95 I just went ahead and ordered it. Sony is a well known brand and a TV I used to have lasted over 30 years without ever having a service call of any kind. I hope this one lasts half that long. It is simple to use, easy to understand and easy to connect to the Cable Modem to update firmware. The Picture Quality on my new Flat Screen HD TV is amazing. I am very pleased with the player and the quickness in which it got here.

It's a good unit but it takes 7 min's to load a disc. If you have time it's a good deal.

 "Sony Blu Ray" 2010-01-07
By Mama Jane (North Carolina)
Bought three for Christmas gifts. The set-up is easy, the picture is all I wanted and the sound quality is great. For people who do not have the "technology gene", it is a snap to install as the machine does all the work. Plug into the TV and plug into the wall outlet and you are done. I do recommend the use of an HDMI cable that does not come with the player.

It was purchased as a gift, so I don't have first hand experience with this product. The recipient is well pleased, especially with the features.

Honestly, I wish I had kept it for myself.

 "Good basic player, good video, no streaming" 2010-01-04
By J. Aguilar (Colorado)
Executive Summary:

o The Good

o Cheap

o Blu Ray video quality on par with others in this price class

o audio quality also on par

o The Bad

o No streaming support (netflix, pandora, amazon, etc)

o component/video-out quality is unacceptable (should not affect many people)

o DVD upconverting not as good as others



Compared to Panasonic BD60

= BluRay video quality

= Audio quality

- Sony DVD upconverting not as good

+ Menus and interface are a little easier on the Sony

= Same Price

- No streaming on the Sony

+ Sony has an "audio priority" setting (see below)



I bought this player just before Christmas and I did not have an HDMI cable, since I didn't want to pay the ridiculous Best Buy price for one. So while I waited for a cable to be shipped, I hooked it up via component output and the picture was completely unacceptable. It was worse than a 10-year old VHS tape! I don't think this will affect many people, but not everybody has a new TV with HDMI inputs.



One thing that was nice with the Sony were the setup menus and even the BluRay video menus for playback were a little nicer than the Panasonic (which I also own). One feature that I really liked on the Sony was the "audio proirity" setting. I don't have a receiver with HDMI switching, so I had to hook up the audio to the reciever via optical cable (TosLink). The TV gets the HDMI output. But with the receiver on, you don't want sound coming out of the TV speakers. So the Sony has this audio priority setting for just this situation. With the receiver on, it does not output sound to the HDMI (TV). With the receiver off, it DOES output sound to the HDMI. The Panasonic does not have this setting, so when I pay a bluRay disc with the receiver on, I have to turn down the volume on the TV or mute it. A minor inconvenience, but a nice feature for the Sony.



The DVD upscaling of the Sony is not quite as good as the Panasonic. It is, however, as good or better than my old DVD player, so this is really a minor issue.



As you probably already know, the Sony does nut *currently* support any streaming media like Netflix, Amazon video , Pandora, etc. The buy at Best Buy told me Sony would be updating the firmware shortly to include some support, but you know about those "guys at Best Buy".... They are not generally knowledgable and are known to make stuff up on the spot.
