Customer Ratings & Reviews

UNIT IS GOOD... READ ON FOR INFO I was having problems with the unit glitching out and what looked like rebooting. Looked like a temp problem. Swapped out unit for an other... Same if not worse... Then I had an, ah ha, moment. I patched the unit into the TV via the one and only 4K HDMI port... Works great now... Not a single glitch... When it was in a non-4K port it would display at 2160 and look really good, but after some time, 20 min or so, it would start to act up. Works good in the 4K port... No problem... I doubt you will find an up scaling DVD player for this price anywhere...

Cheaply made, does have apps built in. Loud when reading disk.

...overrated. Diifficult to use, and the price should be somewhat lower.

The worse dvd blue ray ever!!!! Totally wrong buying this worthless dvd.

My old bluray player is much much better...I brought it back

I've been shopping around for blu-ray players for a while. I wanted something that would upscale DVDs without being insanely expensive. I noticed this product when it went on sale. I'm sure a new model is coming out soon, but I'm not a huge tech person. I just wanted something that would work well and last a long time. First, setup is easy. I purchased a basic HDMI cable from Amazon as I didn't see any reason to spend a lot of money on one. People I know personally who are tech-savvy advised that my eye wouldn't see the difference in picture quality between a cheap HDMI cable and the ones that supposedly improve the picture quality. As long as your device itself works, you can use any HDMI cord. I basically plugged everything in and followed the steps on screen. For someone who isn't tech savvy, this is a plus. I haven't added a lot of apps as I have a smart TV, but if you don't have one, this is a great device to use. I tested Netflix to check the wifi, and it worked well. I only ever have issues with a slow wifi connection, the fault of my ISP not the device. My DVDs looked great. Visually, I never really noticed a difference between HD and 4K (which I know depends upon many factors and I don't know if my TV is capable of the HDR necessary for it or not). Overall, everything functioned well, and the picture looked good to me.

The machine is great for DVDs, BLU-Ray and USB stick.

Unit did not function at all. so i took it back. the end

Bad service not helpful I asked if this was for 4K

It´s very easy to use it, with many applications. 4k 3 D BLURAY, NETFLIX AND THE MOST FAMOUS APPS. VERY CHEAP FOR WHAT YOU GET.

We have bought three of these Blu-Ray players for our three 4K Sony HD TVs. Fantastic picture and upscaling of older DVDs

This is a great player and does just about everything you might want it to do. The images on my new 75" Sony 4 k Triluminous display are crisp and the up-scaling does make a huge difference in picture quality. In fact every t.v. in my home is Sony due to my loyalty to the brand. I would give 5 stars but the player would not play a 4 k Blu ray disc i purchased. Just be forewarned that if you buy this player don't spend the additional money on the 4 k Blu rays as they will not be supported by this player.

Install was a very easy, picture quality is great! Lots of apps!

I just purchased a Sony Ultra HD with 4K streaming TV. My Geek Squad agent recommended that I buy BDP-S6500 Blu Ray player that streams 4K. I had an old Panasonic dvd player, so I went out and bought it. I couldn't believe the clarity it brought to the dvd. However, just a quick note, be sure to turn off the idle button or it will keep telling you your TV will shut off from being idle for so long. Otherwise, this is a great machine.

It might be because I had a Toshiba that was complete junk and went out a year and a half after buying it, but in my opinion this player has much better than average playback quality. The 4K upscaling is totally worth it, especially if your TV is a little older and could benefit from being paired with a high quality player. I haven't tried the 3D option yet but I'm sure it's as good as the regular option.

Bought this to replace my Sony S790 for the bedroom setup because I needed my 790 for the living room system which requires analog outputs. I tried the Samsung J5900 and while I loved the ability to transcode a DTS signal to Dolby Digital(which the Sony players will NOT do even though there is a setting in the menu that would appear to contradict that) to feed my Vizio sound bar, the Samsung would drop frames on certain discs and that killed my enthusiasm for it. The Sammy also had a picture that seemed over sharpened. It looked like there was some back door picture processing going on there that couldn't be defeated even when all the settings were set to give the most direct feed from the disc possible with no funny enhancements turned on. The 6500 is a nice improvement in virtually every way over the 790(and the Samsung too)except for its lack of dual HDMI ports and the analog audio section. An unexpected jump in the video quality was noticed almost immediately. Colors seem more vivid and have greater contrast vs. the 790's more muted take on the same discs. Is one wrong and the other more accurate? I don't know, but I prefer the 6500 with my ISF calibrated Panasonic ST-60 plasma. Also this is a much better streamer than the previous player. The 790 never really streamed well for me. Occasionally it says it's not connected to the Internet, but that usually just requires a second attempt. So far I've not had to reboot the player to get a wifi signal or while streaming. No freezes so far. I'm using this strictly on my 60 meg wifi network and it's pretty darn stable. Takes a little while to reach full 1080, but usually not more than 10 seconds or so, and the video quality while streaming is crisper and cleaner looking than my Apple TV4. Along with playing Blu Ray discs, I am also using this player to stream my Netflix feeds now with the ATV relegated for Hulu and HBO duties. I can't comment much the upscaling of DVD's because I dont have very many. Very happy with this player after about 3 months of ownership! Would definitely recommend.

Hi I am writing about the Sony bdp 6500. It by far is the best blurayplayer I have ever owned. It does it all streaming and the blurayplayer picture is the best ever. Also it does dts master and Dolby tru hd.

Hooked up to my Vizio 4K. Picture is clearer than my older Blu-Ray. I haven't had the issues others have had but I've only had it a week. My main use will be disc viewing. Not much of a "smart" user.

Excellent product! no complaint after 4 years!I have used it for all kinds of 4Ks, DVDs and Blue Ray discs and not problem whatsoever!

BOTTOM LINE HERE IS SIMPLE, SPEED IS ITS BIGGEST ASSET NEXT IS QUALITY SO GOOD ALSO TONS AND TONS OF OPTIONS AND SIMPLY YET ELEGANT HOME SCREEN QUITE AS A MOUSE AND FLAWLESS SIMPLE GET IT DONT BUY ANY OTHER BRAND TRUST ME I TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
