Pros: It works
Reads .mkv files

Cons: Response time (remote control)

Other Thoughts: With the exception of "super wi-fi" this blu-ray player offers everything that it promises.
Works perfectly.

There is a delay in the response time of the remote when opening/closing an app or powering On/Off. This is a minor issue.

Pros: Easy connection to wifi, Nice internet apps

Cons: does not have 3D

Other Thoughts: At the price I would not expect 3D, but I bought this as a secondary system for the spare room and found I like the Sony apps better than the apps on my unit in the main room (which has 3D), otherwise it could replace the "better" system I have. All features work fine, wifi has strong connection and easy set-up.

Pros: I bought the Blu-Ray device mostly for streaming Internet content. I have only tried the disk player one time to make sure that it worked. I used a DVD disk to test it and it works fine. The Internet streaming works very well if I use the wired interface. The Picture quality is very good and the interface for setting it up is easy to work with. I like the size of the unit and that is the main reason that I bought it. I don't have much room for the player on my mantle.

Cons: I can only get the WI-FI to work intermittently at a distance of about 30ft from the router. I had to use a powerline wired interface device to use the Internet streaming. It is working fine with a set of Actiontec 200 Powerline Network Adapter Kit. I have used the Internet streaming about 20 times so far. It hung up on me one time and I had to unplug it to get it reset.

Other Thoughts: I have bought a couple of cheap Android streaming devices with Wi-FI and they both worked well as far as the Wi-Fi goes. The Sony Wi-Fi seems very weak. The signal strength is so low that it will only work intermittently.

Pros: Seems to have built in auto energy saving settings, a nice plus for me. Turns out that I like the Sony brand internet hub for this device.

Cons: none that I have discovered yet.

Other Thoughts: Bought this as a secondary device for a bedroom, but I like the internet apps on this better than the device (different brand) I use in the living area, I need 3D for that room, so if I need to update there I will look at Sony as a possibility then.

Pros: Everything we needed in a refurbished player! Great wifi builtin and terrific netflix app

Cons: none
