Great Product   Review Date: November 20, 2008 Reviewer: Budz, Great Blu-Ray Upconvert DVD player. Got the player and it was easy to set up. The picture is GREAT! Very Sharp and crisp. i really dont care about BD Live because i usually watch the movie and only somestimes watch the special features. Back as a usb input so you can update the software easily with a USB storage drive. Watching a regular DVD is also good. The player upconverts a dvd to almost blu-ray quality. If you are looking for a good Blu-ray player and dont really care about BD Live then this is for you. My only gripe about this is that it may take a while to load. Great Bluray, DVD Upconversion and Audio   Review Date: December 12, 2008 Reviewer: redgtconv, Miami, FL. I have had this for 1 month and have played 4 new BluRay releases and several DVD's. This player excells at everything you want from a BluRay player. Picture quality of BluRay discs is excellent. Upconversion of standard dvd is so good, you might think you are watching BluRay. And the audio will blow you out of your seat. I have had no compatability issues with any disc, as many have reported with players from other manufacturers. It has a Quick Start feature which speeds up load time, and works in tandem with my Sharp Aquos tv. If you turn on the BluRay player the tv will turn on and automatically switch to the proper input. If you turn the tv on and turn the source to dvd, the player will turn on and begin to play the dvd. And each remote contols both the tv and the player. One other thing to note, is that Sharp recommends installing a USB thumb drive in the rear of the unit for certain BluRay discs which have a lot of added features which require additional memory. This will allow you to take advantage of additional program features on the discs and may speed up the load time. I would definitely buy again! BTW, there is a firmware upgrade available from the Sharp website. It comes with instructions, and it is very easy to install. It is intended to facilitate the loading and playing of some specific new release BluRay discs (I beleive James Bond). Nice options...solid player   Review Date: October 16, 2008 Reviewer: Kevin Spence, Las Vegas Plays DVDs and CDs (although not ones that have heavy-duty copyright protection on them) and will do slidshows of CDs with JPGs on them. I bought 3 movies with this and all started up find, played perfectly. Some older players take a long time to start up...this one is great. If you own an Aquos TV, this model communicates with it directly. Turn it on, the TV goes on...etc. Nice add on. The only thing I'd add on is coax digital output, but it has optical digital out...so that's OK. I'd buy it all over again GREAT DVD player!! Works seamlessly with Sharp Aquos TV!   Review Date: February 16, 2009 Reviewer: Effie, New England I'm a 52 year old grandmother, not a "stealth advertiser" -- whenever you are in doubt about a product's reviews, click the "see all my reviews" link as "stealth advertisers" tend to review only ONE product that they want to malign or promote. If you find only ONE review for that ONE product, you might want to take that review with a "grain of salt." We got this dvd player for free with our purchase of a Sharp Aquos 65 inch LCD TV in late January of 2009 -- it's a great dvd player. I don't understand all the bad reviews for this player as ours plays all of our old regular dvds, along with every single new blu-ray dvd we've tried, including THE DARK KNIGHT, which I bought from Amazon, and every single blu-ray dvd that I've rented from Blockbuster and Netflix. It works seamlessly with our Sharp Aquos TV -- I think they were made to work well together. When we pop a dvd in, it automatically switches the TV over to dvd viewing mode, which is a really nice feature. No fiddling with the remotes anymore! We really love it - it is our first blu-ray dvd player and we think its' great! As an aside, last week we upgraded to HD cable and while the installer was checking out the remotes, he accidentally turned on the Sharp Aquos blu-ray player and the blu-ray Iron Man dvd which we had left in the player came on -- my husband said the installer was simply blown away by the beautiful picture and said he hadn't known Sharp made an Aquos blu-ray player! He was very impressed by the player and the picture!! Solid Blu Ray Player   Review Date: January 14, 2009 Reviewer: Jimmy Dodson, Beaufort, South Carolina I purchased this at a Military Exchange on the day after Christmas sale for $170.00. Purchased a 12ft.HDMI cable on eBay for $12.00 and received it 3 days later. Both work great. I must say I am pleased with it, the load time is long, but I can deal with that. Blu Ray movies are awesome on this, and normal DVDs look better. I have a Sharp Aquos flatscreen and they work nicely together. I have to say I am very pleased. The tech support for Sharp is great, no menus to wade through, I got right to a real person within minutes. I previously had an old style Sharp TV and it was one of the best TVs I have ever owned, so I stuck with Sharp.
