Don't waste your $$$
Terrible product by Sony. Yes the picture is great, but it doesn't outweigh the hassle of >2 minute warmup time, flimsy remote, extremely poor upscaling and very few bells and whistles (didn't even have 'time left' feature).

Great picture, big annoying problems with player
I purchased my unit at Christmas in 2007. I've gradually begun using it more and more.

VERY, VERY slow
I work for the Computer Art Department at a large university in Manhattan. We bought this player to replace a broken DVD player in our presentation room, and have had to return it because of how SLOW it is. It takes upwards of 30 seconds for this...

"Great player, great picture"
This is a pretty versatile player for one with supposedly no frills. Standard DVD's look great, and Blu Ray is stunning. The load times for BD can be slow, up to 2.5-3 minutes, but that's my only complaint.
PROS: Picture is superb, easy to setup and use
CONS: Slow load times

Sony Time-Killer 3000
I run LG's Super Blu and Sony's S300 next to each other. The Sony is by far the most irritating piece of equipment I've ever owned.

Excellent Picture, slow startup
Installation of this unit was very simple. Picture quality was excellent. Audio was excellent. Remote control was cumbersome. Machine startup was slow, but passable. Recommended unit.

I would give it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10
This has amazing sound and a very good picture. I have noticed a little bit of flickering but I think it is because of the TV that I am using. I am using the Samsung LNT4671 with the 120hz refresh rate and it look phenomenal. I would say that if y

Great Player until it dies
When it worked it was fine, with great image and sound... much better than DVD. But at only 5 months old, it now refuses to play the disc inside, and won't even eject it. I'm sending it back to Sony for repair.

Try another Blu-ray
Picture is great but the player stops and you had to powerdown, did all the firmware updates still had the same problem, now it just says NO DISK will not even play a cd. It gets to go back to Sony and I don't have a Blu- ray. By the way it lasted

Great Picture
I recently purchased the player in early June of 2008. Utilizing a Blu Ray (BR) disc the picture is awesome. It works very well with non BR dvds as well. Yes it does take a little longer to warm up and play either the BR and/or other dvd but it is...
