Customer Reviews
Average product, poorly packed by Amazon
This product is average compared to other Blu-ray Players on the market. Amazon did a horrible job of packing it in a very large and shabby box. I was surprised that the player was not damaged. I don’t mind paying a fair amount for shipping if its packed properly.
Breathtaking Picture Quality!
The picture and audio quality from this unit is unreal. It’s pretty easy to use and navigate the menus to set it up. And i love that it has an ethernet port for online connectivity. I have only two criticisms. The first is a minor one: the power and open buttons are on a slant at the top of the unit. If youre stacking your units it a little bit of a hassle to hit these buttons. not much, but it would be easier if they were on the front. The second criticism is that the flash memory input is in the back of the unit. Not very helpful there at all! Why not put it in the front so people can get to it?
It’s awesome
This is my first blu-ray, it produces excellent picture and sound, it’s fast to start and the illuminated remote makes it easy to use in a dark room. However, I have an upconverting DVD player connected to a high definition (1080) big screen projection TV (Mitsubishi, diamond series) through HDMI and really I can’t tell the difference between the quality of the 1080i picture of my DVD player and blu ray’s 1080p picture. It may make a difference if I had a plasma TV, I don’t know. I would skip buying a blu ray if I knew this info before. Since I bought it, I watch all movies using the blu-ray format. The player itself is awesome like all other Sony products
