Buy: Sony BDP-S6500 Blu-ray Disc Player with WI-FI, 4K Upscaling Type: Blu-ray Player

Played good while it was working. But now I need to replace it. Can you send me a new one for free. I can send back the old one.

Won?t play any DVD?s

When I received the item I found the camera box was unsealed without any indication of the SONY inspection coding anywhere on box (I can send pics to verify). This means the camera and contents could ,been accessed anytime in the chain. I will review the actual product again after all functions are tested. note: the battery pack was located underneath the small cardboard compartment bottom where it should have been with the cable, a/c adapt, strap etc

Unpack CyberShot RX10 M4 upon receipt

I received this as a gift from my Dad. He got this as a gift from Sony Online. The features on this Blu-ray player were great. Unfortunately, when I put in a movie into the disc tray, and I tried pressing the disc eject button on the player and on the remote it would not eject. I looked up how to troubleshoot and that would not work. I also tried to see if it was on child-lock and that was not the case. I had to contact staff support and the person who was helping me could not figure out the issue as to why it would not eject. After I contacted another staff member at Sony, he said that they would not be able to figure out what was wrong with the product until the lockdown ban is lifted. I tried looking how to eject the disc tray manually, which I had to unscrew the back and to try and retrieve it by removing the cover of the Blu-ray player and even then I could not retrieve the disc due to the design of the product. This was disappointing because there was no manual way to eject the disc myself which I believe should be a feature on the product which is a feature on other Blu-ray player products.

Sony - Great Features, Unfortunate Malfunctions

I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!! The quality is excellent.

Great features

VERY EASY TO USE AND EXY TO SET UP GOOD SOUND AND PICTURE

great blueray player

I have used this unit in my RV for a few years. Other than HDMI sometimes not connecting to TV and/or Amplifier (cable problems due to salt air) it has worked well.

Simple to setup and operate. Reliable.

the pictute i from bluetay is verygood bbut it it does not have itv hub and all4

very easy to use

I thought this unit was a 4K Ultra HD player. It is not. It has 4K upscaling, whatever that is. Remote control very hard to use. Remote should have backlighting.

Found out it is not 4K when tried to play 4K disc.

This box needs a disclosure on the face that informs customers that it will not play 4k UHD discs.
And the worst part is now I don't think im eligible to return it. 
The reason for the bad review is that I spent 100 dollars on a player that will not play the 2 - 30.00 dollar movies I bought. :(

Does not play UHD discs. :(

I have bought this Sony product as I keep trying to believe Sony makes great things.. Think this will be my last ever Sony product.

Useless player. Turns itself of and have to keep unplugging and replugging. Remote does not work somehow except eject!?!?! 

Can't play discs and am done with it.. Bought it as an upmarket player and was told it was one of the best from JB hifi.. 

Bin time..

Another Sony Fail

Problem with the account and access and somanyn inconvenience

Recovering

Great player but failed reading discs after 2 years. Wont recognize downloaded software upgrades, cleaned laser disc with cleaner discs, etc., etc., nothing works. A great player if it would work longer than just 2 years.

Fails after 2 years

I have two of these models. One I use exclusively for Bluray/DVD playback and have had no problems since purchased in 2015. The second one I bought in 2017 and I use both playback and WIFI capability so I can watch NETFLIX on my non-smart TV upstairs. Despite some minor WIFI issues I had no problems until two days ago when a software update booted me out of my settings. After almost half an hour of trying to re-enter my WIFI codes I finally got my NETFLIX app back up and running. Then yesterday, after playing the same DVD just hours before, when I went to start the disc it froze and I was unable to a) stop it running or b) shut off the DVD player except by unplugging it. It is now stuck in start-up mode which I believe is due to software update glitch. I had to take it apart to get the DVD out (it was borrowed) and now this unit is completely useless. I've had to go back to my trusted old Sony DVD player, which I've had for over 10 years. VERY DISAPPOINTING SONY! Your newer products are very unreliable.

Use for Bluray or DVD playback ONLY

I had the SONY S3500 player which had constant lockups, so I thought it was simply old and tired, and "upgraded" to the S6500. Really there is no difference. CONSTANT lock-ups. Routine factory resets. The YouTube app flat out doesn't work, it goes to a red screen... that's it. Other than Netflix and the rare DVD there is no other reason to use this player in my house. I've resorted to hooking up my laptop to my TV with an HDMI cable and get better features. Additionally, the ratings settings for limiting content for children are extremely inadequate and unclear. Don't waste your money.

Disappointment

Great blu ray player but youtube app constantly crashes

Great player but not for streaming

I have had this unit for 6 months. When it works it is slick. However mine freezes constantly, gives a blank screen, the remote and/or buttons in the front are useless and freeze also when this happens. The only thing that cures it is unplugging and rebooting. The software is up to date so that is not an issue. The wi if features are nice. However pairing with Bluetooth speakers worked for a while then just started cutting out and became unlistenable. My advise keep,looking

Great when it works

i broart th last yea in 2017 in july i n john lewis

easy to use

I bought 2 of these both new in an unopened box, one cut off streaming video so often I returned it right away. This one I have had several months. It does play 3D and DVD's really well with great color and outstanding up scaling. If you are only going to watch Blu-rays and DVD's, this gets a solid 5 stars.
However if you intend to watch YouTube, get something else. It will play fine for awhile, BUT will ALWAYS shut down with the message."Cannot open application. Application is too large, Application will terminate now" and then return to the home page. It will be hard to restart and rarely get back to what you were watching when it went down - frustrating and maddening.
Netflix isn't effected with this, only You Tube (which I watch mainly) is, so keep that in mind. If you don't watch You Tube, then you will love this player, it is outstanding in all other respects.

Great disc player - HORRID video steaming

This player has worked well and has never crashed. The upscaling makes the Blu Rays very crisp. My only issue is that the player says 4K UHD Upscaling and if you don’t know what they mean by Upscaling it appears that it would play a 4K disc which it does not so I am already having to replace the player with one that plays 4K discs to match the features of my 4K TV.

Nice player works well except doesn’t play 4K Disc

I've had my unit for over 4 years and still works as good as new! Sony is my first choice from now on!

Great DVD Player

This is my second player from this company and I won't buy from anyone else because of that it's versatility. I hook up a 1 tb hard drive into the usb and play movies. It's great!

Good value, nice features

I bought this unit from Target about two months ago, and it is so difficult to get it to respond to the remote control. It takes MINUTES to select Netflix, Blu-ray player, etc. Then you go to turn it off manually at the power button on the unit and it STILL doesn’t respond. I am so sorry that I wasted more than $200 on this thing! Don’t buy it!

The remote control barely works

I brought it last week...its so cool and i don't need computer anymore to watch youtube and streaming movies...

wonderful features....

Reads and plays most all formats. Very nice product.

Great player.

Could only select Netflix so had to return to vendor

Didn't last long

I've had this player for about a year and all has been fine until I decided to buy a 4K Ultra HD Blue Ray Movie to see what the difference was in the picture. Much to my surprise, the Player wouldn't load the 4K Ultra HD disc. I went through all the manual information and found out, inspite of the Advertisement on the Box, I mistakenly took to mean it would play 4K Ultra HD movies, that it doesn't play 4K Ultra HD movies. What the add means is that if you play a Blue-Ray movie, it allegedly upgrades the picture to what should be 4K Ultra HD quality. It that's what it does, I guess it works as I have nothing but Sony's information to base it on. Not happy as I already had another BLUE_RAY player and thought I was getting one that would play the 4K Ultra HD. It doesn't.

Misleading Advertisement on Box

I bought this a year ago and since day one youtube service keeps crashing every 10-15 minuets and says THIS APPLICATION HAS BEEN TERMINATED DUE TO LOW MEMORY. 
I was never able to connect to any wifi so I used wired connection, since my service provider changed I am unable to connect with wired unless I buy another cable

terrible.

Bought the player in March 2017 and it completely quit working within 13-months (out of warranty necessitating me to buy a new player.

Disappointed

Look nice and works awesome. It is not expensive. I am happy. Thanks.
