This Bluray player works well and has a very sharp HD picture. I was able to purchase it on sale about 6 months ago at a local electronics shack for about half of the regular MSRP. I have had no problems with watching bluray movies until yesterday when GI Joe would not play. I followed the instructions at the sylvania consumer electronics web site to upgrade the player's firmware by burning the software to a CD-R. Once installed on the player, the GI joe bluray played with no problems.

I got this Blu-Ray player in a bundle deal on a whim at my local Blockbuster for $199 about a year ago. They had it packaged with The Dark Knight and 4 free blu-ray rentals. As far as Blu-Ray performance goes, it's great. It loads a little slow, but so do just about all Blu-Ray players under $500. Picture quaility is brilliant in 1080p on a Toshiba Regza 42" LCD. It outputs Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD Master Audio just fine to my 7.1 Surround system, but if you have the settings off just the wrong little bit you can run into trouble with the audio not coming out as pure lossless. Make sure you have Downsampling turned off and the BD Audio out set to HD (not mixed) otherwise it'll just downsample everything to 5.1 Dolby Digital.
Now, the DVD playback sort of sucks. The upconversion is so-so but while the player has NO issue outputting Dolby and DTS via blu-ray it WILL NOT output DTS or Dolby Digital via DVD's. All it does is downsample everything to a 2.1 Mix, giving you a huge loss in audio quality when watching DVD's.
One final note, many people have said you cannot update the firmware on this player due to a lack of ethernet. This is not true. There are firmware updates available on Sylvania's website and it's easy to due by simply burning a CD.
If you are simply looking for a cheap way to watch blu-ray movies, look no further. I've had the player for nearly a year, and have had no issues at all. I'll admit I was heasitant at first due to the lack of a name brand (I could have gotten a Panasonic, Samsung or Sony player for $50 more) but I am very pleased. Great player for someone who knows what they are doing but wants something cheap. Would also work great as a second player to watch BD's in a bedroom or something as well.

This DVD player works quickly, and takes care of all of my Blue-Ray DVD needs very well. I read about other players having slow response once you press the remote, but I read the reveiws on this one, and decided to give it a try. Not disappointed!! Highly recommended!! Thanks!!

This was my first (and only) Blu-Ray Player, which was purchased last December (2008). Overall, I was very pleased with the picture and sound quality. It was easy to use and other than the occasional "skip" on a dirty disc, it worked fine. The time to load a Blu-Ray disc was quite good for a low-end player (at least from what I can tell compared with the specs and reviews of other players).
The SD slot was a nice additional feature and since my DSLR uses an SD card, I was able to quickly show high-def slide shows.
Unfortunately, just after 6 months of use, it stopped reading discs. Initially it would say "no disc" after loading a CD, DVD, or Blu Ray disc. Eventually, the problem changed and after saying "Loading" for a long time it would display a disc error with a message the disc might be unplayable. Note that the parts warranty for this player is a full year, but for labor it is only 90 days.
Oh well. Perhaps I just received a lemon or had bad luck, but I'd be reluctant to buy this again and will stick with a more well-known brand next time.

I wasn't expecting much for the price but was pleasantly surprised. This machine does almost everything except handle Netflix real-time movies. It handles normal Blu-Ray as well as extended features like interactive items found on some Blu-Ray discs. It handles regular DVD's as well and so far I have had only one Blu-Ray disc that it couldn't read. It turned out to be a bad disc and when a new replacement disc was sent, it worked just fine.
I am hoping that Sylvania will come out with a model that can handle real-time Netflix because currently the only Blu-Ray machines that can do so are the LG BD300 (Amazon's LG BD370 also supports Real-Time Netflix and costs about $270) and the Samsung BD-P2500 (Amazon has the BD-P3600 which costs about $400).
The only negative comment I have about this machine is that it takes a pretty long time to get running. Insert a Blu-Ray DVD and it takes about 2 minutes to get up to speed and load the DVD's menu. Hit the wrong button (like Play instead of Select) and you will spend a couple of more minutes while it reloads the DVD's menu information again.
So other than startup speed, the machine plays every DVD I have, some of which are pretty worn by now.
Great machine for the money.
