Better than dreamed!

This relatively small BR DVD player, which I've dropped twice in my lab unscathed, has the perfect footprint. We had 3 large SONY VHSs which all served us well until they were donated to the BR opportunity. This device works flawlessly, with remote access from around the corner or by hand! Very useful when space is limited. You may need longer cords for extreme small things, but not necessarily for placement next to a bed or coffee table. Management is simplified. The price is lower than most…

Pros
  • Built-in Dolby TrueHD decoder Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD bitstream output via HDMI (V1.3)
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Blu-ray Player on Blu-ray Players and Recorders

I'm so glad I bought this player! It far exceeded my expectations. At first I was surprised by the size. So compact it looks great on my multimedia stand. By using wireless adapters that work with my home electrical wiring, I didn't have to run wires to use the internet features. It was the easiest install I've ever done! I enjoy watching Netflix and YouTube in great quality on my TV screen. BluRay discs play wonderfully. And having the volume control on the TV remote saves me from juggling…

Pros
  • Sony BDP-BX18 Full HD 1080p Blu-ray Disc DVD Player General Features: Black
Cons
  • Very Expensive

The player works fine, however.

The player fully meets my expectations. It plays Blu-ray discs and DVDs well with a good, clear picture, but streaming online shows is another matter. Long story short, the streaming options are poor during peak hours and it's not my ISP. My ISP's speed tests show over 30Mbps throughput at this point, but the content is constantly pausing to allow the player to rebuffer that content. From talking to others, it appears that Sony's main servers, which stream EVERYTHING, are severely overloaded…

Pros
  • Region 1 and Region A Full HD 1080p 24p True Cinema video output Quick Start mode
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
