This DVD player has a great picture, better than any other sony we have so far. I am always impressed with Sony quality, but this is even better than I had expected. It was easy to set up too.

If you can get this at the $80 price, go for it. Solid performance, flexible playback options (AVCHD files play via USB perfectly), loads of streaming options, 3D and WiFi built-in. Great player for the price.

This was a very easy unit to set-up and configure. Basic features and very nice remote (size, functions and layout). More controls needed on the unit itself because sometimes the remote isn't always handy.

The A/V installer recommended this and the reviews were very good so I bought it. So far it has been a very good choice for the price I paid for a 3D BlueRay DVD player.

We replaced a Samsung that was giving us heartache for a little over a year. That ended up getting replaced under GeekSquad Plan. The gentlemen in that section was nice enough to give me some great info in store on the replacement options brans to go for and not. All in all he highly recommended the Sony line. We couldn't be happier with he choice. We haven't had any issues outside of a user issue my wife has that you cannot open the CD-Tray while in Netflix App. Not a issue more of a wife complaint. The apps work great and the WI-FI hasn't caused any issues. All in all great product happy with our choice.

I bought a couple of these for the rooms in the house with "not-so-smart" TVs, mainly so we could stream Netflix in those rooms. They are good quality. My only quibble is that Sony has made the setup for Netflix harder than it needs to be. After connecting it I had to update the system software on it to even get it to show me a Netflix app option. The setup directions on the Sony website are buried and out of date (it said to choose menu options that don't exist on this model/revision). Once it's set up there's no problem, it's just a matter of getting it to that point. The updates and multiple reboots can be a little annoying, but it is a solid device.

Decent enough, very compact and does works as expected. I bought this for the 3D feature. I realized after purchasing, the option is not very useful, though no issues with the player.

This is my first bluray player and after a decent amount of research, i think i have picked a good one. I recently purchased a 4K samsung TV, so i wanted to get a bluray player to get the best possible picture when watching movies. i wanted 3D capabilities, but since my TV does such a good job at upscaling, i didn't need the bluray player to do it as well (why i chose the 5500 over the 6500). also with the USB input and apps, i was able to eliminate a roku 2 from my home theater. while the roku does have MANY more apps, i found that i only used the main ones that this player has.

This player does as expected, so I have no complaints about the quality of the picture. The only thing I don't like about it is the small remote has lots of buttons jammed close together, so someone with fat fingers (like me) often pushes the wrong button. Accidentally pressing "Stop" instead of "Pause" is a pain when you have to start the disc from the beginning in this case. My old Sony DVD player had the "start where last stopped" feature. I wish this one had it too.

I bought this machine to play 4k and 3d discs but I use it for more than that. I do Netflix and Prime streaming with it also. I found that it will play all my old DVD's of various formats as well as my older homemade vacation videos. Excellent picture and sound quality and the 3D is outstanding. Excellent machine !
