Pros: My irritation with this Sony product caused me to finally join Epinions.

Cons: Unit is dead, and I'm out $200.

from Shopping.com

Pros: none

Cons: You Name It

Ninety percent of the electronics in my home are Sony products: 60" LCD TV, 27" TV (17yrs & going strong), 20" TV (10yrs), 13" TV, CD Player, VCR, Receiver, etc. Wonderful experience with all - until this unit.

from Yahoo.com Sony should be ashamed to sell this product. From day #1 I've had problems with it, and would classify it as annoying at best. from Amazon.com We hardly ever used it, and now it won't play DVD's and won't open. In reading the reviews, it seems to be a widespread problem. I was told by Sony, and I quote, "this is a rare case. This DVD Player has received rave reviews from the customers." Apparently they haven't been reading the same reviews I have! from Amazon.com I've been a big supporter of Sony over the years, but that came to an end today. I was never blown away by the performance of this unit: I didn't think the HDMI upscaled picture looked that much better than the component video output. from Amazon.com I bought this player on 12/20/2004 and have used it heavily until last night, 5/28/2006, when it inexplicably just quit on me. Online research has revealed that this unit suffered widespread firmware issues. Mine is now out of warranty and I can pay $182 to have it exchanged for a refurbished unit "of comparable value" or $133 to ship it out for repair. No thanks, Sony. from Amazon.com Bought this specifically for the HD output. First time connected and found the picture on my HDTV is pink. Called Sony - no help no offer to repair or replace the unit - basically a complete FO attitude. from Amazon.com I was very impressed by the audio and video this unit provided for me. However am very disappointed with the quality of the hardware. from Amazon.com I am on my 3rd unit and this time my 90 days return from the store I purchased had expired. When it works, super picture and the ability to play almost any photo disc you burned was great. Sad thing about this situation is Sony is very aware they have a lemon here and will do nothing. Keeping there customer base happy has long died with Sony, I will be buying a Toshiba this week......................... from Amazon.com Died after 9 months of light use. It's true: Sony quality is a thing of the past. I used to pay a premium for Sony products. from Amazon.com
