This is our first home cinema system, and I have to say we're extremely impressed. The picture is clear and the sound is sharp and precise. The internet connectivity is simple and just works. It was easy to set up and use. I think for a hair over £200 it's fantastic value for money, and well worth the extra compared to a normal dvd player - although the speakers do make me jump out of my skin at scary points! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

i've been using this player for just under a month and am extremely pleased with it. As a 3D Blu-ray player it's performance is as expected from Sony; top notch picture quality on both normal and Blu-ray discs, and astounding on Blu-ray 3D. The user menus and interface is subtly displayed as white on black background, are easily followed and easy to use. The handset can be paired with a Sony tv, however I viewed the results on a Samsung 51" 3D tv and the 3D dvd playback was amazing.As far as the sound is concerned you can select playback via tv or through the supplied speakers. The speakers are connected easily to the back of the player using color coded wires. Using the 2.1 speakers the sound is obviously far meatier than through tv speakers but obviously not as good as through a more expensive 5.1 system, and to be fair, to compare this against a 5.1 system is unfair as its price is reflective of its intended market - which isn't the 5.1 bracket.
In its own right and for the cost, the package offered here by Sony provides great value for money; - an upscaling 3D dvd Blu-ray player, and a decent sound delivery system. I'd recommend it for those who are looking for a good quality sound system, something far better than the sound from a tv set but without all the expense of a whistles and bells 5.1 system. With the added quality that automatically comes with Sony this package offers good all round performance and value for money. Highly recommended.

This is the first Blu-ray player I have actually ever looked at (aside from the PS3). Before I thought that Blu-rays were a bit of a gimmick and that the picture quality was not that much better. I am eating my words now. I have to admit that I am very impressed by the clarity of the picture, everything is so much sharper. This player has the added advantage of upscaling dvds as well. Again, I was sceptical but actually you can see an improvement if you compare a dvd on a standard dvd player and a dvd played on this blu ray player. I don't have a 3D TV so I cannot comment on the 3D , however normal Blu Rays look fantastic on this machine! I would recommend the David Attenborough Box sets (Life, Planet Earth...).The menu is really easy to navigate and anyone familiar with Sony products such as the PS3 will find the layout familiar. The remote is simple and only has buttons you actually need! I quite like the dimmer button which dims the display on the player - how annoying is it when you are watching a film in a dark room and all you can see is the time the disc has been playing??
It does say it is a home theatre system. However, you only get a subwoofer and two front speakers. This is fine for a smaller living room or a bedroom but if you have a large room and want the full cinema experience you would probably want a home theatre system with the surround sound speakers as well. The sound is great from it. I watched Harry Potter and it really sounded fantastic, you can hear every subtle noise and it is really impressive. You can also play CDs on it and it is a good option if you are limited on space as you don't have to have a separate cd player and the sound is great. There are different sound modes: Audio enhancer, Sports, 2ch stereo, demo sound, auto, movie and music. It is worth playing around with these as different discs suit different modes!
Overall design of the player - beautiful! It is sleek and really modern looking. It is not flat, it has a curved top so you couldn't really put anything on top of it but why would you want to as it is a lovely looking machine - show it off!
It says it is wifi compatible, however in order to use this function, you need to have a USB wireless LAN adapter which is not included in the box (I think on the Sony website the official Sony one is £69 or £50 at the moment on Amazon). You can also connect to the internet via a LAN cable....however (you guessed it) this is also not included!
I would say it is a great Blu Ray and home theatre system for a bedroom or a small living room as it is a 2.1 system rather than a 5.1 which is fine for a smaller room but in a bigger room you will find yourself missing the full surround sound experience. Also remember to add an HDMI cable to your basket as it is not included in the box (as with most players)!
Overall, 4 out of 5, I had to drop one star as I was disappointed that it was not wifi compatible straight out of the box without having to buy an extra accessory. I cannot fault the sound or picture quality as it looks and sounds fantastic. Do have a think about where you want to put it though, as if it is going to be your main surround sound system you might be better having a look around, however for a bedroom or an additional room it is perfect!
