Purchased For A Gift by JUST-JIM on amazon.com Jul 1, 2011
I purchased this as a gift for my daughter. She says that hookup was easy and that it works great. I also sent her a flash drive with the latest firmware so she can update if necessary. Ive been using my sharp bluray player (different model) for over ...
 
Great Player by Restostang on dell.com Dec 28, 2011
I purchased this to replace a Samsung player that died. This unit loads Blu-Rays much faster which is good when a 2 year old wants to watch Cars for the 10th time. I have no complaints about this unit and will be purchasing a Sharp Aquos tv in the future.
 
Excellent companion to a Sharp HDTV by deaf_beaver on bhphotovideo.com Sep 15, 2011
I purchased this to replace my trusty 10-year old Panasonic DVD player for reasons that it offers easy operation with my Sharp HDTV and the ability to use video-streaming services, such as Netflix. In short, it met and exceeded all my expectations.

Bad Experience with This Product by NotMyFirstRodeo on dell.com Mar 2, 2012
I had a disappointing experience with this product. Maybe I just got a lemon. It seemed to work fine at first. I found the settings menu very hard to use. Seemed there was no consistent highlight interface. I had a DVD in the machine when I tried to run ...
 
Garbage by michael c longtin on amazon.com Jan 20, 2012
Do not buy this. It constantly freezes and when it does work it's not very responsive. It also make a whining sound when playing blu-rays. I've tried to contact sharp about the problems, but the never respond. I'd suggest going with Sony on Samsung.
 
Not a good product by Leo on bhphotovideo.com Dec 3, 2011
I have used this player for more than 2 months; it USUALLY works, but: -it's very slow, -it's extremely selective with the files it wants to play (making it difficult to play your own personal authored disks), -lately it creates problems with the ...
 
If it only worked the way its supposed to!!! by Kershizzle on amazon.com Feb 4, 2012
Its a piece of junk. I bought a 70" 3D Sharp Aquos and it came bundled with 2 glasses and this 3D Blu-Ray player. To be quite honest its an insult to the TV it came with and should be an embarassment for Sharp. I would have paid a few more dollars for ...
 
Too bad Sharp feels the need to lie. by Mobius Strip on amazon.com Jan 5, 2012
Let's start by acknowledging that you shouldn't expect excellence from a bare-bones Blu-Ray player. That's what this is, with the additional capability of Netflix playback. But many people won't be able to use the Netflix feature, because they don't ...
