Summary: Product lasted only 4 months 2010-03-20
Comment: I bought this DVD player for my 17 year old for Christmas. I purchased it on November 30, 2009. It was not even used until Christmas Day and now as of today, March 19th, 2010 it does not work. It will play sound but there is no picture. What a waste! I bought this on Amazon but was told I could not return it after January 30th. Amazon should stand behind the products they sell as should Sony.

Summary: unhelpful audio settings 2010-03-14
Comment: A great player overall, and I think it does an excellent job of upscaling. Not the fastest load time but not unbearably slow.
I have had two problems with it: it and my Sony Bravia have had a devil of a time with the HDMI handshake recently. It worked flawlessly for a month, and now most of the time HDMI does not work. But occasionally it will for a brief period. Very bizarre. I finally broke down and hooked it up with component, and although that's 1080i not 1080p it does the trick. I haven't heard any complaints about it from others (esp. not with a Sony TV) so I am going to investigate my warranty.
The other problem is more definite and inherent in the player. HDMI audio to my TV is only stereo. I imagine this is because my TV reports during the handshake that it only has two speakers or something. But the TV does have a digital audio out which goes to my receiver. Other HDMI devices are able to send Dolby Digital 5.1 through the same pathway just fine, but this player does not. It does of course work to hook the digital audio output up to the receiver directly but this results in more things to change when changing sources.
The audio settings are rather non-intuitive and difficult to understand. I had to research online, e.g. avforums, to even figure out what most of the settings mean and how they would effect what signal gets sent where.

Summary: nice bluray overall 2010-03-14
Comment: the sound quality I would rate 10/10, best I've heard. I have it hooked up with optical to a Yamaha digital sound projector and it rocks
picture quality is good. but in scenes with fast-moving stuff its not really smooth. I'm not terribly picky so I'm not going to say its bad, but could be smoother I guess
worth the money IMO
