I bought this for 2 weeks but it freezed itself many times. Not until I contacted Sony's customer service to follow the step by step procedure to make it right. If the default is HDMI control (off), it is more user friendly.

very good quality viewing and compact

Works great and it’s small and pretty. Very happy!!!

Great picture and sound wish it could get me a beer.

I've had this model for a few years now. when it works it's fine. but every time there's a software update I have to log back into all my streaming services... which would be fine if say that happened a couple time a year... but I've had 3 updates this week alone. and no warning... I sit down to watch something on Netflix or VUDU and before I can even select an app that darn screen comes up telling me to accept an update. Then it either goes thru the update and I have to log back in to all my apps or it just freezes and I have to unplug for 10 minutes and hope that it's unfrozen when it boots up. not always the case. this is my 2nd Sony Blue Ray. I've never had an issue with my Samsung... I don't think I'll be getting Sony anymore.

This player worked find until it needed a system update. Can't update via USB or internet. No help from Sony Contact.

The salesman said it’s all region. Bought it for my kids as they have loads of their children DVD. Mostly from Speedy. Half of their collection does not play. Please do not advertise as multi region. Disappointed ! No problem with BD so far.

It no Sorry to the point. Nothing more to sad . The one I have now the same problem

I have bought my BDP S1500 over three months ago and never disappointed me.I'm proud of it,and Sony electronics product has always been my best choice of electronics. Weldone and thanks to Sony Cooperation

A month after the warranty ran out, so did the DVD player. I had to take it apart to get the dvd out. However, up to that point it ran well all the time. I like that it carried the apps that I use the most like YouTube and Netflix.
Since it ran well and the price was right, I bought a new one.

Hello I have 2 of these blu-ray dvd players and they have been great and very well taken care of. But all of the sudden one started to mess up and then 2 weeks later the other one started messing up also. Another huge problem for me is that I have different internet/cable now and there is no router or anything else to hook up the Ethernet cord to in either of the rooms that the boxes are in so now there is no way to stream on the dvd players. These were for my 2 daughters in there rooms and now they can't watch movies or steam anything from Netflix and I am extremely upset about this and can not afford to buy new ones because they are messing up let alone afford to buy new ones with built in wifi that cost more. I love Sony but this is horrible.

I bought this less than six months ago. Last night it was working fine, now it’s frozen and I cant get the Redbox dvd out of it. I’ve tried everything to try to reset it and nothing. We have many Sony products and they’re usually fine and last for years. Unfortunately not the case with this one.

This thing works well for awhile and then just freezes up. Sometimes it takes an eternity for it to respond to commands from the remote (no, it's not the batteries). Sometimes it freezes for so long that I have to turn it off at the power strip and restart it. I use to be a Sony fan. Not so much anymore! I am very disappointed in Sony!

Yes, it's been over a year since I bought it but it hasn't had many miles put on it. Now it has problems and won't play right.

High quality HD from DVDs. Have found extremely good in upgrading my home DVDs that were copied from 20yr old VHS tapes from an old analogue camera to end up almost like true HD. Have not tried the BlueRay yet.

The only down side to this product not enough apps other than that absolutely brilliant

it does not play DVD except for region 3. A quick check revealed that the same player sold in other parts of the world is in fact region free. I have lots of DVD's from other regions I can no longer play.

I love this. I am a bit late to Blu Ray but this replacement for my Panasonic DVD player really hits the spot. I am impressed with ability to access the internet and various apps, still discovering the apps that I can get. Love it that I can get You tube on my Samsung.

I bought this 2 years ago and love it. The quality is second to none

I bought this three months ago and it has worked great so far.

Ease of installation and love the size. Fits well into my small place.

Only minor problem is the remote which is poorly designed and non-intuitive

This is an affordable and compact blu-ray player that also provides apps likes Netflix and Youtube.

Although one of the lower end Sony Blu-ray players, it's a reliable performer with no weaknesses and gives a great picture quality.

Seven months old and will NOT power on! Never buy again!

Bought for my sons bedroom - great size and simple to use

Bought this as my present Sony DVD player was not Blu-Ray

Bought this as my present Sony DVD player was not Blu-Ray

This is the best DVD I have brought very easy to set up picture is perfect

It wouldn't open so returned it and bought an LG. That one is brilliant.

It is far to easy to press the wrong button by mistake (especially that awful Netflix button which dominates the remote), strangely causing the DVD/Blu-ray to start again from the beginning rather than simply continue.

Great replacement/upgrade from our old Sony DVD player to a Blu ray player. Small, compact & value for money.

Bought this around a month ago and am very pleased with it. The up scaling of DVDs is very impressive.

It's not too bad, it's a bit noisy and can be slow. It has Netflix and Lovefilm which work great so am very happy.

bought the product about a month ago and in many ways it is excellent. It converts DTS sound tracks to Dolby Digital so am able to hear the sound-track of Blu Ray discs that do not have a Dolby Digital one. I have two minor complaints however. When the disc is stopped part way through, it does not restart from that place and the digital output stays live even when the player is turned off. This means that I have to unplug the player when I want to use the optical input of my digital to analogue converter. So I would give the player a score of 8 out of 10.

Owned for about a month now. Very pleased with sound adjustment options as i struggle hear treble on other systems i have tried and returned including bose and cambridge. I can now hear the clarity of treble along with a strong deep base. Well done Sony. Remote functions are fiddly but I'm sure i'll get used to it

I had read other reviews of this and though most seemed happy, a few had problems updating. I had no problem, and when I checked on update, I was simply told "up-to-date". I am very impressed by what Sony have managed to cram into such a small box, and the ability to access the internet is a great plus. Very good price, too. My only niggle is that it is not multi-zone as I have some DVDs from the USA and I was able to program my old player to use those - I still have it and will continue to use it for that purpose.

Bought this couple of weeks ago it's small so doesn't take up much room the picture is fab it does a lot more than are old one just need to connect it up +excellent value for money on a Sony happy days!!

This is my umpteenth Sony purchase over the years ,thank you.

Works just fine, does the job perfectly, a quality blu ray player

Very happy with this compact Bluray player, got it to replace an older LG player. Using mostly for Youtube/Netflix and the interface is very easy to use / fast to respond. The only downside is the lack of DNLA playing capability.

It has been a good replacement to my old DVD player with the additional feature of playing Blu-Ray discs. So far no issues, except that it does not remember the last play position of the last Blu-Ray disc - that may be a Blu-Ray disc issue not the player.

As with other SONY product purchased this met all my requirements and expectations

I bought two of these to replace my previous BluRay players, which both mysteriously ceased to play BluRay discs at the same time. Compact and bijou, this player is excellent value for the price, and has so far performed flawlessly. The network and USB ports allow me to access my media libraries easily, and it even accesses my 3Tb USB drive, which my previous players would not, as they had a 2Tb limit. Playback from disc or media file is flawless, and 'net access is easy, with a reasonable range of apps available (although not, as yet, the BFI player), and a dedicated Netflix button on the remote. The only small niggle I have is that there is no clock/play-time display on the fascia, but this can be easily accessed via the Info button on the remote, so not a deal breaker. The Info button also displays video/audio bitrates and other file info. The player is very easy to set up, and updates firmware/software automatically on first start. All in all, a great value and compact player, which I have no qualms in recommending.

A nice, simple but good DVD player. Quick to load. Small remote. Communicates well with the TV so it turns the TV on when you turn the DVD player on (and it's not a Sony TV). I'm sure some people would like a display but I didn't want one. Great little DVD player for good price.

Plays blue-ray discs and DVD great but with it being described has being Smart and thinking it would connect to the Internet by Wifi I was so wrong because it is not Wifi enabled so I was disappointed by this.

Was given has a present small great picture easy set up and use

I'm disappointed with this Blu-ray player. I had higher expectations for Sony. I chose this because I wanted to take advantage of Bravia sync as my TV and AV receiver are both Sony. The thing that bugs me the most is during play back if you want to stop the disc or go to main menu, it doesn't remember the last part of the film. You have to find it via menu. The remote is too small and not logical, very easy to press the wrong button. Huge lack of apps and not enough space for favourite apps, poor.

This Blu-Ray player is excellent and is overflowing with features. The picture quality is outstanding and it even upscales DVDs to 1080p HD when used with an HDMI cable. You can also play CDs with brilliant sound quality. I recommend the player very highly.

At its price this is a good value Blu-ray player. Picture quality is excellent on New 49inch TV. Only downside I would expect DVD's to look a little better. Also Bought one for parents, very easy to use and easy to set up.
