It is a great buy for an entry level Blu-ray disc player with Sony name on it.

unhelpful audio settings

3/14/2010

A great player overall, and I think it does an excellent job of upscaling. Not the fastest load time but not unbearably slow.

I have had two problems with it: it and my Sony Bravia have had a devil of a time with the HDMI handshake recently. It worked flawlessly for a month, and now most of the time HDMI does not work. But occasionally it will for a brief period. Very bizarre. I finally broke down and hooked it up with component, and although that's 1080i not 1080p it does the trick. I haven't heard any complaints about it from others (esp. not with a Sony TV) so I am going to investigate my warranty.

The other problem is more definite and inherent in the player. HDMI audio to my TV is only stereo. I imagine this is because my TV reports during the handshake that it only has two speakers or something. But the TV does have a digital audio out which goes to my receiver. Other HDMI devices are able to send Dolby Digital 5.1 through the same pathway just fine, but this player does not. It does of course work to hook the digital audio output up to the receiver directly but this results in more things to change when changing sources.

The audio settings are rather non-intuitive and difficult to understand. I had to research online, e.g. avforums, to even figure out what most of the settings mean and how they would effect what signal gets sent where.

nice bluray overall

3/14/2010

the sound quality I would rate 10/10, best I've heard. I have it hooked up with optical to a Yamaha digital sound projector and it rocks

picture quality is good. but in scenes with fast-moving stuff its not really smooth. I'm not terribly picky so I'm not going to say its bad, but could be smoother I guess

worth the money IMO

Sound cuts out

3/14/2010

We bought this player in order to save on wear and tear to the PS3. Installation went without a hitch. Picture quality is as expected. Not too big on the feature set. Just play the movies, I don't need BD-Live or any of the other "extras." That's what I have my PS3 for.

Unfortunately, the audio is a major hassle. At first I didn't even realize what happened. While watching cartoon, the video fritzed for a split second and the audio cut out. At first I didn't notice the fritz, thought my son hit the mute button. So I fiddled with the audio and it came back again. Then it did it again. And again. And again. And again. At completely random times throughout the movie. I thought it was a bad disc so I swapped discs. Same problems. It fritzed even before I could get into the movies. Tried numerous "fix" the problem. All were either unsatisfactory or non-working.

So is the player to blame? I imagine so. The PS3 plays movies without a hitch. Is it a problem Sony could have been aware of? OH YES! There have been reports of this exact problem with different HDMI products dating all the way back to 2005! You would think all of the manufacturers, including SONY, would get their act together and make sure this doesn't crop up.
