Excellent Player - Small and Light:
Quick and Easy setup. I currently have it connected to the Sony STR-DG820 7.1 receiver and viewing it through the Sony KDL-52W4100 TV. The bravia sync is great and will operate from the TV remote or the included remote! It has surprised me as far as playing music CD's and DVD+R. I recently put in DTS audio CD's and they sound amazing in DTS 5.1 through this player. Of course, Blu-ray is amazing! I updated the firmware available from Sony's site and didn't have a hitch on the update. Sony quality is... more info
Sony Blu Ray:
We are really pleased with this Blu-Ray - they've made many improvements over their previous model. Would recommend to anyone wanting a good quality Blu-Ray Disk Player.

I'm in the middle of a movie. I want to got to bed, dinner, whatever. I hit STOP. And a message comes up on the screen saying Resume Playback Prohibited From This Point.

NOT SOLD ON THE DVD'S YET!:
I SOMETIMES WISH THAT THESE DVD'S HAD NEVER BEEN INVENTED. IT IS HARD TO RATE THE SONY BLU-RAY WHEN THE DVD'S KEEP STICKING AND STOPPING. YOU CAN NOT GET THEM TO MOVE AND IF YOU DO, THEY JUMP PAST SCENES THAT YOU WANT TO SEE. IF YOU MISS A WORD OR DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO READ THE LETTER ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN'T JUST STEP BACK A NOTCH, TO RERUN IT OVER AGAIN, TO DO SO, LIKE YOU COULD ON THE VHS. SO MY VERDICT IS STILL OUT ON THIS DISC PLAYER. NOT SONY'S FAULT AT ALL BUT I CAN'T RATE IT YET.
