I also have an Amazon Fire TV which is definitely more responsive and smoother, but the Fire TV is famous for having faster processing than other streamers

and then it is really slow processing the information before it actually plays

In addition, the process itself is VERY slow -- as it in I had to leave it running overnight before it finally exited the update screen

You can even use the built-in Opera browser to scour the internet, though this is a pretty clunky process

Since this update was installed a few months ago, the player has operated flawlessly in all situations (other than the irritating network connection process)

Changes can be stored under Custom1&2 settings (as long as you DO NOT have 4K resolution output set when you initially set-up your player).Bottom line: If you can get passed the least attractive AV design to come out of SONY, a very problematic startup/setup process, the S6500 is a very high

It was a PAINFUL process.

But BD-R and DVD-R work fine
