Makes even older DVD's sound better
This unit plays the home made Blu Ray. Many models will not play home computer generated AVCHD. This one works great. Even older DVDs have better sound and graphic improvement. Yes the dollar amount is much but, you get what you pay for.

Only up converts standard DVD's through HDMI
Great player but I was very disappointed with standard DVD up-conversion. This feature only works with HDMI. Since I'm forced to use component cables I'm out of luck :-) Wish Sony would make this more clear!

Normal BluRay sluggishness but picture and sound are outstanding.
I found the unit to be very easy to set up and also easy to conduct normal operations. The on-screen menus are very readable, easy to navigate and get right to the point. The manual actually was useful and helped make the initial setup a no brainer.

Great cost for feature Blu-Ray purchase.
I read all the reviews on the audio and videophile web pages, when this one popped up so highly rated I was confused. How was it possible a Blu-Ray player costing half that of others was rated dead equal or higher? My company (Conley Secure Innovati

Great Blu-Ray Player
This player does everything I want from a Blu-Ray player. It produces a great picture and awesome sound. It was easy to set-up and works very well with my Sony Surround Sound System. The only thing I don't like about this player is that it is very s

This is the player to BUY!!!!!!!!
Great player, unbeleivable picture quality in both Blue-Ray and standard DVD upconversion. If you have a FULL 1080P HD television with an HDMI input buy this player. Easy to set-up, firmware updates a breeze. Load time is not as bad. From start-up to

Great Picture and Sound
This Blu-ray player was easy to set up and has a great picture. With our 65??? Toshiba projection HD TV and the Sony STR-DG800 Multi Channel AV Receiver it is better than going to the movies. I own many DVD?s and with the up-conversion to 108

Do your home work.
Pro: Great Picture. Con: Slow loads buggy at times If you think you can rent blu ray movies and play them with this, think again. These players are VERY VERY picky. If there is a smudge or small scratch on the disk. Its not going to play. I'd say ab

Great Blue Ray player!!!!!!
I have read all of the reviews on this product before buying it. I do agree that it does take some time for the player to get going but the results are worth the wait!!! The images are 3-D quality and add great depth to the images. I bought the be

Good but not great
I purchased this player along with a KDL-46XBR Sony tv. I was a bit suprised by the long boot times, and find the menu system somewhat awkward compared to older technology DVD players. I believe, from what I've read that this is typical for many...
