I'm renting for 3 months and needed a small low cost DVD player with HDMI output. Small because I will place it in storage until I return next year and since I pay for volume of storage I wanted small. The player does what it was designed for without frills and can display closed captions. Meets all my needs.

This unit failed after just over one year of use. It will no longer load a DVD, even brand new ones. I called Sony support and after trying many fixes it did work on one new DVD but took about 8 min. to load it. After the call, it would once again not load any DVDs. I could not buy an extended warranty from Walmart because the item cost less than $50.

Purchased /1/10/15. Very Easy setup with HDMI cable. . Only issue is the same I had with the player it replaced. Have to use 2 Remotes. Comcast remote does not work with it. Have to use Visio TV remote to Choose INPUT source (HDMI 2) & Volume. SONY remote used only to Setup, Play/Pause open/close. No other functions work. Same as on previous DVD Players we owned. Frustrating.

I like it. I guess I expected too much from it but it's still a good dvd player. My only problem with it is that it's hard to tell if it's on or not sometimes because the power light is soo small, you can barely see it unless the room is dark. Other than that It's a good product

I bought this dvd along with the 32" rca tv for my bedroom. I don't have cable so it's just to watch movies at bedtime. I am really happy with both, very easy to set up even without instructions. Good value for the price, I got both tv and dvd player for under $300.00. Good products and fast delivery.

Because my TV is Roku Smart TV 32S327-CA, all picture-settings and volume-control can be done only from TV's remote control. DVD 's remote control can load disk, play it, advance, rewind, eject, but cannot siwitch on/off tv and cannot control volume. TV inputs and Menu are also not functional on DVD-remote. I use my own HDMI cable, not provided with DVD player (only RCA cables were included in the package)

Just needed a dvd player for bedroom tv. This is small enough, and easy to set up. I got it because any other I might chose did not have HDMI connection. Only two negatives at this point. 1. you can only open/close with the remote. 2. the only display light is the power on/off light which is so small you can't see it unless your standing right over it. While except able, it is rather slow to respond.

Worked great in the beginning, had it for about 1 1/2 years then it started turning on and off by itself. If playing a dvd, it would just stop and turn off on it's own. We didn't play very many dvd's on this one, so not sure what the problem is, but would not recommend this unit.

Bought this product instead of a blue ray player solely because I could connect to my stereo system. I use it more for playing CDs than I do for watching DVDs. On the plus side it plays both DVDs and CDs well. On the negative side you must press the open/close button twice (unless using remote) to load the CD. It takes a while to load and then requires you to hit the play button once loaded. The DVDs will auto play - just load DVD and close door and it begins playing. The description of the product says it will produce sound when fast forwarding or fast rewinding. I find this true only with the CDs and not with the DVDs. The remote can only be programmed for a TV. I was hoping to control my amplifier's volume as I did with my last Sony 5-disk player. The old remote seems to be working this player just fine so I don't use the supplied remote. Overall I say this product is worth it's cost and would recommend as long as you don't need all the bells and whistles.

I bought this dvd player for my special needs brother for Christmas. Here it is the middle of March and it has not worked for a month.At first I thought my brother had done something to break it but after taking the cover off (my dad was a tv technician) I realized that the motor that turns the disk is blown. I bought this model because it was easy to use and it was not the cheapest Sony dvd nor the most expensive. Would not recommend.
