Sound cuts outMarch 14, 2010 TigerPomme(CA United States) We bought this player in order to save on wear and tear to the PS3. Installation went without a hitch. Picture quality is as expected. Not too big on the feature set. Just play the movies, I don't need BD-Live or any of the other "extras." That's what I have my PS3 for.
Unfortunately, the audio is a major hassle. At first I didn't even realize what happened. While watching cartoon, the video fritzed for a split second and the audio cut out. At first I didn't notice the fritz, thought my son hit the mute button. So I fiddled with the audio and it came back again. Then it did it again. And again. And again. And again. At completely random times throughout the movie. I thought it was a bad disc so I swapped discs. Same problems. It fritzed even before I could get into the movies. Tried numerous "fix" the problem. All were either unsatisfactory or non-working.
So is the player to blame? I imagine so. The PS3 plays movies without a hitch. Is it a problem Sony could have been aware of? OH YES! There have been reports of this exact problem with different HDMI products dating all the way back to 2005! You would think all of the manufacturers, including SONY, would get their act together and make sure this doesn't crop up.
Movies Wonderful to WatchMarch 13, 2010 Mary Ann(Missouri) The Blu ray has arrived and was easy to install, once you went to the store and bought the cable. The cable should be included like batteries for toys should be included. We are enjoying using it
I can't believe they let this out the doorMarch 13, 2010 J. Balis(Los Angeles, CA United States) This product is utter rubbish. Keep your standard DVD player until they get the Blu-Ray kinks worked out.
No smooth fast forwarding, unlike every other disk player in existence.
Doesn't remember your last position, unlike every other disk player in existence.
The opening splash screen is one step above MS-DOS. The first thing you see is something like "Push to Erase BD". This is every time you turn the machine on.
Glacially slow.
Sony obviously rushed this out the door before it was ready.
A lump of Sony coal in our stockingMarch 13, 2010 Kevin J. Healy(St. Paul MN USA) I did my black Friday shopping on line. Didn't open until Xmas day. Unpacked, spent thirty minutes plus downloading the software and no Blu-Ray. Major disappointment. Sony pretty good about taking it back to work on it, but slow.
