So far so good...the probloem with writing a review this soon is we do not know how the product will perform over time. If this player has issues within the first year, my rating goes to 1 star. But so far it performs well and meets expectations for the price.

Bought this for my Grandsons so this summer they could while resting watch cartoons, IT DOES NOT come with everything needed to hook it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get them settled in to rest go to hook up the player .... but NOOOOOOOOOOO .... I have to go back to town and buy a HDMI cable and come home a 40 mile round trip. So I tell the little ones I'm sorry but not today. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 one very angry grandmother!!! paying over $40 for this ( because I live as you have heard other old folks say on a fixed imcome ) and just wanted to make my grandsons happy, but not today.

This dvd player doesn’t even deserve one star. I tried 3 different players in one day. The first one wouldn’t even turn on, the second one wouldn’t read disc (you could hear it faintly turning but did nothing), the third I couldn’t get it to open to put a disk in. I burned through a half tank of gas going back-and-forth to the store so many times for this junk. My previous sony player didn’t even last a year with light use. They definitly aren’t what they use to be.

The size and ease of setup are very good. The picture and sound quality using the HDMI port is very good, it actually appears to upgrade the video quality vs an older DVD player. I have noticed a few instances where the picture freezes for a second or two and it affects the entire DVD disc. Others play fine. I have not yet found one that will not play and we have have hundreds of personally recorded movies. When I find one that freezes I simply burn a copy on my computer and it clears the problem, well, so far anyway. It appears it does not like the off brand el cheapo DVD discs that we used several years ago. Over all it rates between a 3 and a 4 star. Longevity yet to be determined. Bang for the buck is good!

This SONY DVD player works perfectly. I have bought 3 SONY DVD players in the past few years and they still operate like they are new. I needed another player for a 4th TV so stuck with a brand I trust. The player is light weight and compact. Good buy too. I ordered on line and shipping was faster than I expected!

The HDMI is definitely better than the old coaxial cables. One plug from the player to the TV and the picture is Much sharper than it was with the old coaxial DVD player. Some of my DVDs are full screen on my TV screen for the first time. Like it a lot!

This product is the worst DVD player I've ever owned. From day one, DVDs freeze or begin playing with no sound. In the middle of the movie it'll just freeze and spin. The menu and settings are confusing. I just wanted a decent DVD player. I've NEVER had this problem with other DVD players. Unless you like wasting money, don't ever buy this if you want trouble free DVD movies.

I purchased these at the last minute for Christmas for my girl's television sets. My oldest one says it works beautifully. From what I noticed the one I bought for my six year old works just fine, but my husband did have to put a HDM1 cable on her tv though. My only issue was Wal-Mart. They sent them on time like they said they would, but did not bother to pack them in a different box. They were sitting on my front porch in their original packaging which clearly stated that they were DVD players. I would have put both boxes into one large plain box Wal-Mart.

Easy to install. We have used this DVD player 5 times and have already had trouble with it. it takes forever to load, says there's a disc error, we have to take the disc out, blow into the DVD player(like it's 1985 all over again), and try it again. It's small and doesn't take up any room. When it was working right it worked great but just 5 uses and having trouble I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it.

Bought the same model video recorder a few months ago. Excellent recorder until it stopped playing DVD's. Tried a laser lens cleaner but to no avail. Every recorder has problems with the laser lens getting dirty. Not easy to clean. Easier to just buy a new recorder as professional cleaning costs about the same as a new recorder. This model Sony recorder is the best one I have found producing a quality picture
