Better Than Dreamed! by Thomas V. Inman on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012
This relatively small BR DVD player, which I have alread dropped twice in my lab with NO damage, has ideal footprint. We've had 3 larger VHS SONY's, all served us well, until donated for BR capability. This unit performs faultlessly, with around-the-corner ...
 
Great Player for little money by Eric M. Zimmerman on amazon.com May 3, 2012
So far I have been able to use youtube, Pandora, crackle, aolHD, Slacker and NPR, with no issues. As far as file support goes AVCHD, M2TS, AVI, HD wave, MKV and MP4 have all played on this thing without any glitches. My only complaint with this unit is ...
 
Great player at an awesome price. by PnkQueen on amazon.com Mar 21, 2012
This Bluray player can't be beat for the price. Bluray playback is as impeccable as you would expect from Sony optics. My favorite option is the netflix app. I get crystal clear hd playback with a connection of up to 20Mbps. I also love the you tube app ...

No resume point memory? Am I missing something?? by Cueballio on amazon.com Jul 7, 2012
Every negative review seems to focus on streaming. But I have a major problem with Blu-ray playback. I set up the player and updated the firmware, and that went fine. Then I watched my first Blu-ray disc, which was a great experience except for one hugh ...
 
Internet features are buggy by Eric J. Cooper on amazon.com Nov 27, 2011
I have had this item for two weeks. The first thing I have noticed is that any time you want to use an internet related feature, you have to turn the unit off entirely (if it is on) and then turn it on again, kind of like re-booting it. Then if you simply ...
 
Sony won't provide universal remote code by elwood on amazon.com Mar 25, 2012
I just had a stupefying online chat with Sony customer support. I wanted the universal remote code for the BDP-BX18 DVD player. The codes suggested at the urcsupport website don't work. The chat lady referred me to a Sony site which says that Sony ...

Not good for Netflix by Mark R. on amazon.com Feb 14, 2012
I bought this player mainly so I could watch on-line Netflix shows. Unfortunately, the Netflix experience is pretty bad with this device. It takes a long time to get a show started. Depending on the show you pick, the video quality ranges from really ...
