Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • Time will tell how long it lasts, but good price here on Amazon.
  • Great price and this Sony is MUCH Better than the Samsung Blu Ray we had.
  • Was looking for an inexpensive player to connect via HDMI and found this to have all of the basic player functionality I need at a great price
  • after a few months of use, still cooking with gas - solid performer for a reasonable price - have it hooked via ethernet cable directly to internet and it also serves nicely to stream video, including Amazon Prime.

Reviews around tv (5.00 of 5)

  • My Vizio smart tv doesn't have a watchlist for Amazon Prime.
  • Especially since the Roku interface on my Smart TV is more appealing for apps
  • Blu-ray, connects to lg smart tv, Netflix, amazon videos, etc
  • I have a Smart TV so did not need the wireless feature or smart function so this inexpensive player fit the bill.
  • I have network app support directly in my Smart TV, Kodi Chromebox, AVR and literally every other device thanks to the Internet-of-

Reviews around expect (5.00 of 5)

  • HDMI cable not supplied but otherwise works as expected.
  • It's not super fast and responsive, so don't expect it to glide like a high end device, but that's forgivable given it's cost and utility at that cost.

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • works well and is a compact player which is what I needed -- good value
  • Just as good as the Samsung on older movies in regular (non Blu-ray) format
  • I am happy with this, I wanted to place my Roku 3 downstairs, so I bought this for upstairs, plays Blu-Rays as good as you can ask for and has alot of streaming channels including Amazon.

Reviews around picture (4.56 of 5)

  • It does, however play Blu-rays, DVDs and Audio CDs, as well as the pictures, videos, and music on your USB flash drive, and has a decent selection of apps (including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Vudu, Crackle, YouTube, Pandora, Facebook, and more, plus others in the Opera TV Store app), and has the PlayStation Now feature
  • Quick start up, very dark picture
  • Picture was as good if not slightly better than the Samsung (The Samsung has 4K/UHD, which our TV does not have).Easy operation especially when used with a Sony TV.Really cheap
  • In fact, this silent little devil loads and unloads faster than my Sony BDP-S5100 with far better picture and sound quality

Reviews around ray (4.50 of 5)

  • Will try to replace or seek out a better Blu Ray player.
  • I realize that this is about the cheapest blu ray player out there, but it should last longer than 4 months!
  • This Blue Ray was defective out of the box
  • Would recommend this overall for someone not looking to drop $150 on a fancier blu-ray player.
  • It's a good blu ray player if you don't have much space.

Reviews around product (4.22 of 5)

  • Despite the initial problem, I'd say it is a good product for the price!
  • Typical Sony, once made good products and still trades of it's name.
  • my opinion this model has been designed and programmed by people who were not interested in building a good product!I strongly suggest to look for any other manufacturer until Sony starts to support their products and customers again.
  • I do not recommend this product unless you are storing it out of ear and eye shot...very dissappointed.
  • While this product did not work for me, I may try another product in the future

Reviews around device (3.91 of 5)

  • I have so many "smart" devices that I really don't care and can't review those features.
  • Additionally, I found it for $40 - what a bonus for such a great device!The unit streams well and loads quickly, in fact it loads quicker than my old Blu-ray player (which was prone to locking up), so I bought two of these; a replacement for the family room and one for the bed room
  • This is the worst electronic device I have ever owned
  • CONS- this device is NOT wifi compatible
  • Even though I immediately was confronted by a required update (which downloaded OK this time), the device worked fine for all of just 2 days.

Reviews around quality (3.39 of 5)

  • Don't have any blu ray discs, but regular dvds play with exceptional quality.
  • I have a great internet connection and it is terrible quality like it isn't getting a good signal
  • However, it plays DVD with a bad quality; the image is blurry.
  • Been watching both bluray and traditional DVDs and love the pic quality
  • Been watching all the Bond films on blue ray and the quality great

Reviews around unit (3.10 of 5)

  • I'll make yet another trip to UPS to return this unit and when I get the next replacement I will smash it to bits in my garage!
  • Another hour on the phone with Sony trying all sorts of steps, they finally concede this 3rd unit has a problem and authorized a replacement.
  • Additionally, I found it for $40 - what a bonus for such a great device!The unit streams well and loads quickly, in fact it loads quicker than my old Blu-ray player (which was prone to locking up), so I bought two of these; a replacement for the family room and one for the bed room
  • Fortunately Sony offered to ship a replacement and a prepaid return label for the defective unit after a not completely insane amount of troubleshooting over the phone
  • Now I have to go buy a converted box, and if this unit runs slow and laggy I will be back to dock another star, mark my words.

Reviews around wire (1.44 of 5)

  • Chose this model instead of the wireless as decided to hard wire with a cable as more reliable than wireless, even though we have wireless in our home
  • no smart TV.This unit works just great with our hard wired internet moden
  • From what I could tell, the homescreen is a nice simple layout and the remote is small and fairly simple enough for my older relatives to use, as it was originally intended for a 70yr+ crowd (non-wired would've been great)
  • The only “feature” it has that it is a smart player, although it must be hard-wired to your WiFi network
  • Calling Sony customer service was a tedious process of pulling the plug, trying a different outlet, blaming the Ethernet wire and connection, blaming the HDMI cable, blaming the HDMI connector on my TV, etc
