Customer Review: A Piece of Crap
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for the house for Christmas and we really got a lemmon. The unit only worked for a couple of days prior to having all sorts of video and audio problems. For this last month I have been on the phone with Sony who keep sending me fileware upgrade in the hope of fixing the unit. The last upgrade simply fried the unit and it no longer works. They then request I pay to ship it back to them so they could fix it and I would get it back withing 2 - 3 months. This was unacceptable so I brought it back to a Sony Style store and demanded my money back. I will never purchase another Sony product again.Customer Review: Outstanding, easily the best player on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't let anyone kid you. Sony developed the technology and clearly makes the best transport and video D to A on the market. I use my Lexicon preamp as decoder and the Sony audio transport does an excellent job as well.
The negative reviews of this player were posted by people who never saw it. It didn't ship until early December and the prototype wasn't even available for audition until late November. So disregard all the bogus reviews.
Audio and video performance is outstanding.
Customer Review: Flawless Video and Audio Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the BDP-S1 for 2 days now. I can't stop watching Monster House. The picture quality on my 1080i HDTV is just spellbounding. I hooked it up to my Onkyo THX home theater in a box with an optical cable and the sound is crystal clear. This product really takes you to a whole new level. The visual clarity is like walking outside on a perfect blue sky day. I see no flaws in the image even with a 1080i TV. Really can't get better than this, at least hopefully not for a few years when I can convince my wife to let me upgrade again. Customer Review: BLU-RAY IS HERE TO STAY!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I now own a SONY BDP-S1 Bluray player. It was worth the wait. This is a well built machine, very similar to the TOSHIBA HD-A1 in quality and workmanship (see my review of the TOSHIBA). It has added features such as customized video controls (color, brightness,contrast, hue, etc). The quality of the Blue-ray movies is just as good as the HDDVD discs. The early reports of substandard picture quality may have been due to the first SAMSUNG Blueray players which had some bugs which were resolved with a recent firmare update.I have also tested the SAMSUNG player, and it has excellent picture and sound quality, but I preferred the SONY because of its better built frame and features, and thus, the higher price.Regarding the uncompressed PCM 5.1 channel sound option in the Blueray movies, if you can connect the SONY player to your receiver via 6 channel individual RCA connectors, you will enjoy the most spectacular sound. Customer Review: Blu Ray is the Real Deal
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanting to get a Blu Ray player for a while. After looking at the available models I decided to wait for the Sony BDP-S1. I have had good luck with Sony in the past so I figured I would go with what I know.
I am really glad I did. The PQ is amazing. I didn't think I could get a picture so clear. I have a Sony KLV-V40A10 LCD flat screen. It is only a 1080I but when using the BDP-S1 it is so clear and sharp, its amazing.
I have watched several movies with no lock ups or any other problems. In fact I haven't had the player do anything it isn't suppose to do.
The load time is a little slow. There is a slight delay when giving commands but this is a new tecnology so I don't really have a problem with the few little quirks. The good far out weights the bad.
