Customer Reviews

Easy to use entry level player
This player does all the important stuff very well. I was able to have it entirely set up in about 5 minutes. The picture quality is great, and I'm especially pleased with the upconversion of my DVD library. It does not have a remarkable number of outputs, but it has the HDMI and Coax outs that I need. The downsides are the cheap-feeling remote, the time it takes initially to load Blu Ray disks, and the fact that higher-end players have higher-end features.

Pros:
-cheap (especially since I got it free with the Amazon deal!)
-has the necessary features (mute HDMI audio, picture settings)
-great picture.
-Really easy to set up and use.

Cons:
-The remote is rather sad and pathetic.
-Long load times of Blu Ray disks (does not appy to regular DVD)
-Lack of high-end features.

A good Bluray Player
This Bluray player is very simple to use, puts out an amazing picture. All I had to do was plug and play. Only problem that I noticed is that it takes long time to load, it can take as long as 30 second, other than that I love it.

Great product - we're very happy
Got this Blu-ray player as part of a special combo at the end of July/beg. of August '09, where if you buy a Samsung HDTV (ln40b630 in my case) you get an 8' HDMI cable and this Sylvania Blu-ray player for free - the price of the TV was very good ($999) to begin with, so we felt like we got a heck of deal on all of these combined.

We've been very pleased with our upscaling DVD player, so a Blu-ray player was not at the top of our list of "cool things we gotta have" - but given that we were going to have to get another DVD player of some kind for the new TV, I just couldn't pass this up.

Anyway, the Sylvania hooked up very quickly and easily, and within minutes we were watching a Blu-Ray movie in all its full 1080p glory on my current 56" HDTV set. 1080i and 720p resolutions look great in HD, but 1080p looks just that much crisper/cleaner. That being said, part of the reason why I haven't gotten a Blu-Ray player before (and why I wouldn't have gotten one if it weren't free) is that the difference is not so dramatic to justify the extra price. That may change as players and movies get cheaper, but paying 2-3x the amount (or more) of a good upscaling DVD player for just a slight increase in quality doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

That being said, if you're looking to buy a good, more reasonably priced Blu-Ray player (or if Amazon makes this part of another great combo/giveaway deal), I would highly recommend this one! Can't wait to see how it performs on the new LCD once it arrives.

Didn't give it 5 stars for the following reasons: 1) I'm very picky and like to maximize my $$$ when purchasing electronics; 2) Blu-Ray players and movies are overpriced right now in my opinion, and 3) Since it's still new and I haven't owned Sylvania brand previously, I can't comment on the reliability/durability yet - so I'm playing it safe and not giving it a "perfect" 5 stars.

Amazon's speed of processing and shipping the order were both excellent, as always in my experience (I know, not part of the product review, but still important parts of the buying experience).
