||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just needed a DVD player that works with my TV, and as usual, the Best Buy guys knew exactly what I needed from the vaguest ever description of what TV I have. Props to them for being psychics because I have no idea what year or how large my TV is.

Sony Blu-ray player
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice DVD player. but even pairing it with a Sony TV was not easy or intuitive. It required several steps, and the remote was not intuitive (use the ok button, not the play button, if you want to play a DVD. )

Defective, returned
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a problem with this particular model before. It seems to stem from the power cord being a separate connection to the unit rather than being hard wired to it. This causes connection problems sometimes resolved by unplugging/replugging the cord on the back of the unit. The power connection to an AC outlet also takes up more space than a regular cord connection would. My first unit purchased years ago didn't display this problem until after the return period had expired. I thought the problem might be fixed but fortunately my recent purchase revealed this problem the first day. I have a regular Sony DVD player with a normal power connection and have no problem with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Volksold,
We apologize for the frustration caused by the power connection design on this model. While this external adapter is used to maintain the unit’s compact footprint, we understand how a secure fit is essential for uninterrupted viewing. Please ensure the cord is pushed firmly into the player until it is fully flush, and try placing the unit on a flat, stable surface to prevent any tension on the port. We take your feedback regarding the plug size and connection style seriously as we look to improve our future designs. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
