Forget the Sony, I would recommend you look at the Panasonic blu ray disc player model BD-65. They are the most reliable and trouble free players in the market today. Sony, quality have dropped over the years. I had 2 DVD player from Sony when they first came out and paid over $1,000 each and they did not last over 3 years. While my Panasonic first generation blu ray disc player model BD-10 now over 4 years is still running. When AVATAR first came out many players had problem playing the movie, while my old Panasonic played the movie with no problem. Hope this will help you out.
