sony bdp-s790 Written By nitrofire, fontana ca on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) does every thing as advertised Pros: works as adveritsed Cons: none
Better Than Most! Written By Michael P., Indianapolis area on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is one of the best blu ray players I own, and I have 5. This does a great job of up scaling the picture on older DVDs. It also loads faster than other players. I was so impressed with it that I bought a second one. Pros: Great picture; great up scaling; loads fast Cons: Not owning one!
Great value for the money Written By Fred W, San Diego, Ca. on Thursday, March 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very easy setup. Picture and sound quality are excellent. Netflix is easy to setup and access. I like the touch control's on top of the unit. Pros: Easy to use. Price Cons: None
Only lasted 6 months. Written By Keith, Orlando, FL on Sunday, February 16, 2014 This BDP-S790 worked great for 6 months and one week. Then suddenly when I turn it on it displays "WAIT" like I had inserted a disc. The just stays like that. Obviously this Sony had design issues. Notice the review from Dec 2013, his only lasted 6 months too. It is upsetting that Sony will not even cover the shipping for 100% warranty coverage. It is also upsetting that I will have to wait WEEKS for another unit. Gee, then when the replacement unit fails 6 months after arrival, it will be out of the 1 year warranty. Cons: Only last 6 months.
Sony BDP-S790 Reviews Written By ME, Chantilly, VA on Friday, February 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Absolutely outstanding product. Incredible picture, classy design (including touch-sensitive controls on top), extremely easy set up and flawless performance over a variety of inputs. Two HDMI outputs allows 3D video signal to television directly plus HD audio to non-3D capable receiver. Chosen over comparable competitors for features and reputation (never tried Sony but, hey, they developed Blu-Ray so they've got to have some edge/experience.) Could not be happier.
Very nice Written By Alexander J B, Austin, TX on Monday, January 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this for a dark media room with an Epson projector and an 85" screen (all from Crutchfield). This unit is sturdy and I chose it over the Oppo for features. It has a metal frame (sturdy) and the wi if works like a champ. The sound and picture are amazing with accurate colors and little to no blur. Even 3D looks fantastic. Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. Pros: Build quality, features, sound picture and ease of set up. Cons: None yet...
Sony BDP-S790 Written By doug, Cincinnati, Ohio on Monday, January 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Hooked this up to a new LCD screen TV and through my 10 year old receiver with digital optical only. The sound is better than I expected but what blew me away was the quality of a regular DVD played through this baby! Pros: The unit is small. Unbelievable picture quality.
good and easy to install Written By Bill, Atlanta, Ga. on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I initially got the product to play some DVD's that were given to me as a Christmas present. It was incredibly easy to use, the WIFI is very good, with good picture quality and it has opened me to a different world of on demand using Netflix, Hulu, etc.... A great product, easy to use, and low profile.
Great Sony product Written By Yoda, Peoria, IL on Friday, January 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product if you need a Blu-Ray player + all of the add ins!
Definitely worth the money Written By JohnE, Annapolis, MD on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A full-featured product supporting all popular DVD formats, plus internet access. Excellent Blu-ray performance. Pros: Easy to configure and use. Has analog video and audio outputs in addition to HDMI output.
Excellent Blu-Ray player Written By Bob S, Fairfield CT on Monday, January 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Powerful yet small blu-Ray player, able to stream video and serve as the core component of an entertainment center. Easy to set up. Would purchase again. Pros: Compact size and features Cons: None to date
Very Nice! Written By Gary, Sierra Vista on Saturday, January 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this to go with my new Sony TV 3D and the first movie I watched was the latest Star Trek flick and it was so cool. I loved the picture no problems that I noticed. It is a cream puff to install and I love the wireless network capability and doing a firmware upgrade before I used it. I am real pleased with my purchase and the excellent sales and service employees at Crutchfield. Pros: Affordable with awesome picture and features.
SONY BDP-S790 Written By JR, Randleman, NC on Friday, January 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) At this time I can not find anything bad about this player. Pros: Internet apps. Pandora Etc. Great 3D, Quick load, Quick Play. Cons: NONE AT THIS TIME
Sony BDP - S790 Written By JohnS, Wichita , Kansas on Thursday, January 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great . did updates and it added Amazon . Now streaming movies is a snap. Pros: Ease of use and speed . Cons: None
More than Blue-ray Written By DrBrian, Marshalltwon, IA on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This player does so much more than just play Blue-ray disk it should be called something more....like "ultimate media player machine." Connecting it to the network was easy, and both video streaming and disk play are flawless. I can play online content as well as stream video from my media pc, laptop or tablet. Pros: Video quality Ability to play streamed vide Cons: Some files that play fine on PC won't play on this player
Sony BDP-S790 Written By Bill, Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does everything I purchased player for, streams smooth. Makes a dumb T.V. smart.
Good Product Written By larry.l, Nashville, TN on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am only giving this product 4 stars because the composite interface is not active when using the HDMI interface. Crutchfield delivery was on-time and without hassle as usual.
Nice unit Written By Anonymous, Sacramento, California on Saturday, December 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the unit after reviewing the spec's online. Pros: Does everything the spec's state. Cons: Not sure if all features are truly necessary, worth paying for ?
Ravi Written By Ravi T., Santa Clara, CA on Friday, December 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is excellent product and happy with Crutchfield Pros: NA Cons: NA
Works Great ! Written By NY411, Upstate NY on Friday, December 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit works great ! I have a cheaper Sony Blu Ray and I really don't care for it,due to it is too slow processing. This unit is fast ! I use it a lot for streaming (Net Flix, You Tube, etc.). I would guess due to the dual core processor. Also for us old school people, this Sony has the analog outputs so I can hook it to my vintage Pioneer receiver as well as 2 HDMI outs for non-integrated surround systems. Pros: Fast Processor, Loads Quick, Loaded Jack Pack with Analog outs,Great picture as expected, Remote lay out is user friendly. Cons: Non-Lighted Remote !
3D Blu Ray DVD Written By John, Atlanta, Ga. on Sunday, December 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) 5 Stars is not high enough!! No words can describe how " fantastic " this format is. Figures jumping out of the screen into my lap caused me to leap off the sofa!! Machine is super fast loading and extreamly quiet. Pros: Fast loading ~ Silent ~ Touch control on top of unit ~ Very friendly remote. The dual HDMI's for sound & video create a great home theater. Cons: Are you kidding ! There are NONE.
Failure Written By Ed, Sedona on Tuesday, December 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It failed completely within six months. To get a replacement you have to ship it at your expense, (after many tortured hours on the website and the telephone they did offer to pay for the shipping). They then decide whether to exchange it; presumably it better not have a scratch. In the meantime you wait, and rather than sending you a refurbished or new replacement and then you send in the old one in that box, you box it up in whatever you can find. You better not have misplaced an accessory, either. This is lousy customer relations. I have had electronic products fail, and on every other occasion with other companies have had a good outcome. Obviously I am done with Sony - never again! Crutchfield response on Tuesday, December 03, 2013 Rating of "1".
Great! Written By Gbsailor, Connecticut on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this to go with my Sony 4k TV. The display from the player is beautiful in both 3-d and 2d. The up conversion to 4k is very sharp. All in all, just a fine player. Pros: Easy set-up. Great internet selection. Easy to use menus. Great picture quality. Cons: None so far. Don't really expect any!
Great Blu-Ray Player Written By RonnieG, Asheboro, NC on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had this player ( BDP-S790 ) for about two weeks and it has performed beyond my expectations. The Blu- ray player has a GREAT picture and the setup to my home network was easy. There are some features I have not tried but the ones I have tried work fine. The Netflix service works real good and also Pandora. For the price its a great deal. Pros: Great Picture and Sound Cons: None at this time.

Pros: Great audio.two hdmi outputs.can separate vid and audio.tons of apps.fast loading.no stalling or buffering problems.refurbished.like new.great price.no taxes free shipping less than 48hrs.

Great video and great sound Written By JLBS, Levittown, PR on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great piece of equipment. I got it because I needed a sony Blu Ray with analog audio outputs and not only has that but other great features. Streaming Video and music are excellent. Is very light weight but sturdy of construction and fits just about anywhere. I also liked the soft-touch buttons. Pros: Lightweight but sturdy, fits anywhere, great soft-touch buttons, analog audio outputs Cons: Too many steps to register for certain Video and Audio providers. Slow Browser.
Great player with a few quirks Written By ThomasF, Washington, DC on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great player--handles Blu-Ray, DVDs, SACDs, CDs, High-Def Audio disks (High Fidelity Pure Audio) and other formats well. Also comes with a free 30-day subscription to the Berlin Philharmonic on the Internet--top quality audio and video concerts! There are just a few quirks that prospective buyers should know: 1. There is no random track selection, that is, you can't punch in a CD track number and have the player start to play it. You have to start the play and then press the next track button repeatedly until you reach your desired track. A rather odd omission. 2. For SACDs and High-Def audio discs, not even the track number is shown (it does show for regular CDs). All you see is total elapsed time of the disk (does show on screen). 3. The Opera browser supplied with the player will browse the Internet, sort of. But be aware that it has limitations. First using the remote to enter URLs and other alphanumeric information is very slow and clumsy. Worse the browser won't support common formats. I went to YouTube to listen to a Tchaikovsky violin concerto. I eventually got there but then received a message that the browser didn't support the format of the video and that the player needed wasn't available for my browser. However the quality of the audio is always extremely good, especially on the SACDs and the High-Def Audio disks (which are Blu-Ray), especially with the 5.1 audio channels. Could profit from ability to connect a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse Pros: Great sound, great video, great price, Cons: Quirky track select, clumsy alphanumeric entry from remote, limited Browser capabilities
Awesome Player!!! Written By Dan, palm bay on Sunday, September 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've owned many Sony players this is simply the best to date great picture and loads of features! Pros: Just Awesome Cons: None
S790 Written By Anonymous, Auburn il on Sunday, August 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This has the features I was looking for. Performs well wire less is nice. Pros: Small design Cons: None
Awesome Player Written By HTran, Rockville, MD on Monday, August 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great player. The 3D and Blu Ray picture quality is great as expected. But what is unexpected is the how great this player up converts DVDs. I have a Playstation 3 and this player easily out performs the DVD up conversion. The dual HDMI outputs is very useful as I don't have to upgrade my Denon recieiver in order to pass HDMI 1.4 signal. One HDMI output is directly connected to my projector for video while the other HDMI output is for audio only. Incredible fast loading. Pros: 3D & Blu Ray quality. Great DVD up conversion. Dual HDMI outputs. Fast loading. Cons: None except that it would be great if this player had a Bluetooth remote control in additon to the infrared remote.
What a differance Written By Glenn S., Pinole, CA. on Thursday, August 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sony's BDP-S790 is a magnificent machine chock full of features. High resolution, up scaling video, and HD audio including the SACD, and DTS formats that you usually don't find on DVD players in this price range. I bought this for a friend and he loves it. He had a Samsung player that wouldn't play certain BD movies from RedBox. This player loads them right up in seconds. If.you're looking for a good player at a great price this is it Cons: None
Nice! Written By System Installer, Illinois on Saturday, August 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sleek, fast and beautiful; loads and cues very quickly, rock solid playback, gorgeous picture and Skype capability is the cherry on top! It also does a nice job of upscaling lower res material. The price may hold some shoppers back but the performance is on a par with machines costing much, much more. Go for it, I say! Pros: Compact size, nice looks, snappy handling of media, very pretty picture, Skype! Cons: When you leave the store the only thing left in your pockets will be lint.
Exellent Blu-Ray Player -- Sony's Best Written By JF, Washington, DC on Thursday, August 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Tried the BDP-S590 and thought it was poor. Returned it and got the BDP-S790 and have been very satisfied with it. Great controls, fast internet apps, fast load times. Leaps and bounds better than the BP-S590. Pros: Great controls, fast load times, excellent performer, beautiful design, very flexible. Cons: None
Sony BDP-S790 Written By M, Puerto Rico on Monday, July 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product easy to use, friendly remote control and display I'm enjoying better picture and sound that my old Sony-Blu-Ray. Another purchased from Crutchfield with complete satisfaction good job. Pros: Excellent sound and video. Cons: None
sweet! Written By momlovesit, maplewood,nj on Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) we may be the last in the world to switch to blueray but it has a fantastic picture. The smooth operating buttons are a blast my kids love them. The HDMI connections allow you to connect to a TV and projector simultaneously...YEAH!
Sony BDP-S790 Written By Jack, Flemington,NJ on Monday, July 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) GREAT unit !!! Really improves an old DVD movie. Watched a 4K bluray movie and was amazed at the quality. Blew me away !!!! Pros: easy to use and easy setup Cons: None
Awesome! Written By Roger D, Houston, TX on Friday, July 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) FINALLY a blu ray player that approaches the level of performance of a regular DVD player! I've owned several blu ray players including the old Sony BDP-S570. I also currently own the Oppo BDP-95. My number one complaint has been response time i.e. the time between when you press a button to the time when the player responds. This is the first player I've had besides the Oppo that responds immediately when you press a button while watching a movie e.g. rewind, fast forward. It boots up quickly too when a disc is inserted. There is hardly any noticeable performance difference between the $1000 Oppo and this $750 cheaper Sony when playing a blu ray or DVD disc. And to top it off this Sony Player has my favorite feature of all (which most Sonys have always had) a Replay button which instantly skips back 10 seconds with one push of it. No messing with the rewind or fast forward buttons which can take you too far really fast. Not even my Oppo has this feature believe it or not. (which is very irritating after spending $1000!) Set up including Wi-Fi was simple. I would even say idiot proof! (Unless you have difficulty screwing in a light bulb.) And it even comes with a real paper owners manual. All that said I would recommend not reading anymore reviews and click "add to cart". As always Crutchfield customer service was outstanding! Pros: Fast, 10 second Replay button, nice remote lay out, easy setup Cons: none
Sony BlueRay Player Written By RKR, FM, Iowa on Saturday, June 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Though we have not had a lot of time to use the new player, the initial setup was fairly simple and blended well with both new and old electronics. Hopefully it will continue to perform to our higher expectations. Pros: easy setup and does not require all new electronics (new style TV's ) Cons: need more time with equipment to really know how it will perform and have no other comparison at this time
BLUE RAY DISK PLAYER Written By SONY BDP S790, SODDY DAISY TN on Saturday, June 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) LOVE THE CLARITY OF MOVIES AND MUSIC! VERY PLEASED WITH MY BLUE RAY.
Easy to Use Written By Mary, New Jersey on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sleak and easy!
Less than expected Written By Anonymous, CA on Monday, June 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Did not play MP3 or JPEG without getting firmware updated from Sony (on phone w/ them extensively). No closed captioning. Very expensive for an inept product. Returned for a hard-working unit.
Excellent Blu-Ray Player Written By RPK, Earlysville, VA on Monday, June 10, 2013 Easy to use and set up. Great upscaling to 4K. Pros: Produces a great picture on my Sony 4K. Cons: None so far.
Excellent player at a fair price Written By Ira, Stratford, CT on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The player has excellent picture and sound, in a compact package. The user interface leaves much to be desired. Pros: Dual HDMI outputs, does 5.1 with Netflix and Amazon, passes DSD over HDMI, attractive. Cons: No track number displayed when playing SACD (unconscionable), GUI, both primary and with Netflix is slow and awkward, Search function is awful, power "button" is difficult to find when unit is off, not compatible with Netflix 3D Streaming, very noisy when loading multi-channel SACDs.
Blu-ray player review Written By Mike, Orlando, FL on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This Blu-ray player from Sony is easy to use and it has all the features you need. The software update utility works well and 802.11n wireless is great. I use Netflix often and it will load the site from first click to "ready-to-download" a movie in 30 seconds. Pros: Dual processor is the way to go. This player is worth the money. Cons: None
Love it! Written By Denny, Arlington, tx on Monday, May 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is new technology for us. Our 'old' players are just that: old! Thankfully, our TV isn't, but lacks 3D. We did read a lot of reviews, seeing the pros and the cons. In the end, we opted to take this unit over the Sony S590. That should tell you we focused on a Sony lineup. This was due, in part to so many lousy reviews of LG, Samsung (many were very pro, but the reviewed product wasn't available), and Toshiba. We don't care for Panasonic equipment,as a rule. Hook-up was too simple. We see a hard-wired connection to our home network, even though we have wi-fi. Connection to the network was completed without error. The unit did edible a software/firmware upgrade immediately. I had read any reviews that indicate problems and we should not do the upgrade. All is okay! No problems. Picture clarity is superb! Much better than our old unit. Everything is so clear, so vivid. Well, we are pleased. We haven't 'surfed' the Internet using the Sony built-in browser yet. That comes next. We have used the unit at Netflix and amazon instant video with 0 problems. Oh, salty, we read the manual...all of it before we used it! Pros: Lots of features for the price. I think too many for the "technology state" we are in. But, we're glad it's there. Biggest pro: we brought it from Crutchfield! Best service, and customer support anywhere. Cons: None,so far. We installed the Sony app TV Sideways for our Apple handheld products. We've experienced some problem with it, but are still getting used to it.
Sony BDP-S790 Written By SPage, Wichita, KS on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this because of the dual HDMI out. We have an older receiver that does not support 3D. This player works well. Load times are short. The internet streaming is fast and responsive. Set-up and use is easy. The player has a nice picture and 3D works well. I have no complaints. Pros: Good picture, short load times Cons: None yet
Great player at a great price Written By Justin A., Norwood, MA on Saturday, April 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We wanted to get a blu-ray player that loaded quicker - our original player could take 5-10 minutes to load a blu-ray disc and sometimes would just freeze up. This player load MUCH faster, practically instantaneous. It also has the ability to stream content from a wide variety of providers - that is the other reason we purchased this one. The quality of the audio and video is excellent. For the price I believe this is the best blu-ray player on the market. The iPhone app for controlling this player works quite well. The player is also much smaller than our previous player. Pros: Fast loading time, streaming from many services, easy to use, iPhone App works fantastic! Cons: Interface for spelling words in searches is clunky. It would have been nice to have some kind of keyboard, especially on the iPhone app where such a thing would be easy to do.
Sony BDP-S790 Written By Billy Budd, Binghamville, VT on Thursday, April 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice unit, which performs as advertised. Easy to set up and use. I do wish the styling was a little more conventional. The illuminated touch buttons are a nice feature, but you really end up using the remote 99% of the time. I bought this unit to take advantage of the 2 HDMI outputs, very handy. Pros: Two HDMI outputs, ease of use Cons: Display on the unit is too dim to easily see in daylight. The on-screen display when using Blue Ray is a little limited.
Best Blue Ray Player Ever Had Written By Old Herb, Warrensburg, NY on Friday, April 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Upgrader from a Sony BDP-570 to BDP-S790. Great choice! Purchased from Crutchfield was a pleasure. Service was the best. I have bought many items from Crutchfield and it has always been 100% of value and great people to deal with. Pros: Great picture, sound is amazing and Netflix Video works great too. Cons: Haven't found any yet.
Sony BDP-S790 Written By thunderchild71, Enid, OK on Thursday, April 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Upgraded from the Sony S580 and am glad I did. This Blu-ray player is faster and easier to use. A little more expensive, but worth the money.
Quick and easy. Written By MikeA, Texas Panhandle on Thursday, April 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great picture and sound. Well worth the extra I paid to upgrade to a better video player. Pros: Easy to use, excellent picture and sound. Cons: None
Sony's Best Written By RichM, Mays Landing NJ on Tuesday, April 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Stunning picture quality. Excellent audio. Far better than the Yamaha it replaced. Pros: Video quality in both 2D and 3D. Cons: A little pricey
quick and resonsive Written By Steve C, Freeport Il. on Monday, March 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does a great job up converting DVD's. Custom settings for video's is a big plus. Internet use [netflix, etc.] is very quick and resopsive.. Pros: Very quick...responsive...custom settings a big plus... Cons: Wish the customs settings for video [DVD, BlueRay] could be used for Netflix, Hulu Plus...
Bdps790 Written By Michael, Tijeras, NM on Thursday, March 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great unit picture looks great easy to use Pros: Remote is better than the one I had before Cons: Haven't seen any yet
Blue Ray Payer Written By Jonnie, North Carolina on Friday, February 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Based on previous Sony Players I purchased the S790. I am happy with this one also. Pros: Excellent picture and sound with 2D and 3D Blu-ray disks with easy basic setup. Powers on Samsung TV when turned on. Cons: Fairly long load time, but not a significant problem. Had some problems hooking the unit up to a receiver-amp. I found that the description of AV Seperation Output Mode in the manual did not agree with my experience when changing the parameter to get the unit to output sound to the receiver-amp.
Sweet! Written By tgk, Vinton, Iowa on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I abhore the bevelled front panel look that is becoming more common these days. Equipment that is styled that way does not integrate well with my existing system. It has a low WAF at this house - more on that later. At least the front of this player is only partially bevelled, so it blends reasonably well. Having a dual HDMI output, and BOTH coaxial and optical digital outputs saves having to buy additional add on adapting equipment later on, and the annoying wall wart power cubes that go with them. This player will upconvert 1080i/p to the new 4K UHD. I'm curious what this player would look like on the new LG 84LM9600 84" UHD-TV. This player has a great price given the output flexibility. The 790 is smooth operating, has a great picture and sound, and has a few operating novelties that are fun to play with. What's not to like? Read my two cons I listed below. Pros: Really slick operating, the pIcture and sound are top notch, the dual processors really speed up load time, versatile outputs, and it looks great on the shelf with my other equipment. I give it a full ten on my WAF scale - Wife Acceptance Factor. Cons: No component output for some older displays - which is all too common these days. Websites given by the player for signing up for internet functions are apparantly obsolete. I don't play that game. I will notify Crutchfield to put the heat on Sony to correct this info glitch. They should have more clout with Sony than little-old-me.
Best DVD player ever Written By Anonymous, Uniontown, KY on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I normally don't give reviews but this is one of my best purchases. I give this two thumbs up Pros: Wifi is fast and has lots of apps too. Can download app on iPhone and use as remote. Cons: None
DVD Player Written By Erik, Bismarck, ND on Sunday, January 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great dvd player. Very easy to use and has great picture and sound. Purchased because of the 2 HDMI outputs because of an older reciever would not pass 3d picture. Pros: 2 HDMI outputs Cons: Slow start up when starting movie.
Another Sony in the family Written By Don, Thousand Oaks, CA on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When my 6-year-old DVD player (not a Sony) kicked the bucket, the search for a Blue Ray player was on. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and this unit quickly rose to the top of the list. The deal was sealed when I visited my local high-end home theater store, where I have purchased my HT 6 years ago, and found that this Sony was on their shelf in one of their listening rooms (albeit the lowest-priced player they sell).
Solid Purchase Written By MRp, MN on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Solid Value. Impressive WIFI and Internet Streaming channels and options - much better value than my Apple TV3. Dual HDMI Output is excellent. Great option to decode the audio on the Sony and Input via PCM right to my older Denon Receiver for great sound. Splitting the Audio/Video across the dual HDMI Out will also allow me to get a 3D TV WITHOUT having to upgrade to a 3D capable receiver in the very near future. Pros: Dual HDMI Out allows you to split Audio and Video across the Outputs Cons: Coming from Denon DVD Players, it's nothing heavy duty when it comes to durability. But not bad for the price.
Nice value Written By diceman, Ottumwa, IA on Sunday, December 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have nothing bad to say about this Bluray player. I looked at & tried various cheaper players (under $100) and they cannot come close to the quality of picture & speed at which disks read & load the menus. I don't use the Internet streaming capabilities of this unit because I use a Roku instead. I'm sure it would perform equally well, but the Roku has more channel options to choose from at the present time. My opinion... if you're considering this player, stop considering & own it. I can't imagine you'd be disappointed in any way. Pros: Speed, picture quality, easy setup. Cons: None to report at this time (owned for 3 weeks & numerous Bluray & DVD movies.
Sony BDP-S790 Written By PaulC, Lenoir City, TN on Thursday, December 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) From the instruction manual to its performance, I have been very well pleased with this unit. There was no need to install updated firmware and on-screen instructions were easy to follow. I was very impressed with its performance as a 3-D Blu-Ray DVD player from the moment I turned it on and inserted a 3-D disc. Nice soft-touch buttons for mannually operating the unit as well. In the future, I hope to purchase a larger 3-D TV; I will consider the Sony brand first, based on my satisfaction with its top-of-the-line 3-D player. Pros: Great instructions, great performance. Cons: Can't think of any!
Video fine - audio lacks basic features Written By dob, St. Louis, MO on Thursday, December 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The S790 works fine for video, but believe it or not, Sony has neglected to provide track numbering for SACD and Bluray audio discs on the player's display. You have to turn your TV monitor on to identify the track. It's ironic that track numbers are displayed for standard audio CDs but not for two disc types developed by Sony: SACD and Bluray. For SACD all that displays is the track elapsed time (the space following the T is blank); for Bluray audio all you see is total elapsed time for the whole disc, which can be quite long. Completely useless. Would have given it a 4-5 star except for such corporate short-sightedness. Come on, Sony. You can do better than that if you want to call it a universal player.
the Sony BDP-790 wow Written By daveomega67, holmdel,nj on Sunday, December 16, 2012 i brought the Sony BDP-S790 for it's massive improvement when it comes to picture and sound they were right. unlike oppo BDP-105 which can only up convert films to 4K if you are using a 4k tv. sony BDP-S790 can enhance blu-ray to 4k resolution and send that better picture in 1080p so you wouldn't have to buy a new tv to see what 4k picture quality looks like and full onboard 7.1 decoding. wifi has improved range and no matter your tv you will great quality it has bit by bit image enhancing for the upscaling dvds and so it can make blu-rays look 4 times better than it would than on any other unit. Pros: 4k upscaling so your 1080p films would like better on your tv than it would with a normal 1080p player. the full onboard audio decoding so tv wouldn't have to guess how to playback the audio. Cons: setup and trying to figure out what would be the best setting for best playback and it not having auto setup like the ps3 does which does everything for and sets unit to best settings for what you are using it with here i have to guess.
So Far, So Good Written By John T., Euless, TX on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After using the player for about a week now, all I can say is that it works great and is a HUGE upgrade from my six-year-old Sony dinosaur. Once you learn the menu, it's pretty easy to customize and make changes. The wireless setup was a piece of cake. All in all, I'm very satisfied. Cons: Buttons on remote aren't illuminated, but I knew this when I chose the player. Illumination would have resulted in five stars.
Excellent Choice We Made Written By Bert_CCTX, Corpus Christi, TX on Thursday, November 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent choice we made on this sleek BluRay player. It was easy to install (one HDMI is all that's needed) and configure to our network. Menu navigation is intuitive with responsive selection time. Load time is pleasingly fast. The LED brightness is adequate. Be sure to check the firmware version that is installed and update to the latest version. We have not used the USB connections to date. Pros: Fast load time, fast response time and easy to navigate. Cons: I wish the LED were a little larger and a little brighter.
Very good BR player with a few minor issues. Written By Mikehattan, Cincinnati, OH on Thursday, November 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The video quality, especially DVD up scaling, is excellent. That's what you are buying a BR player for. A lot of streaming channels too. Blu-ray discs load fast, but navigation is slow. I don't like the remote layout. The navigation buttons are too close together. I often press the wrong one and end up at the home screen, then it takes a long time to get back to where I was. Also this unit is finicky with my IR repeater. Pros: Very good Blu-ray video quality, very good DVD up scaling, A lot of streaming options, built in wifi. Cons: Poorly designed remote, slow navigation.
great player Written By doc, waco, tx on Wednesday, November 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) easy to set up, works well with the tv I linked with it, the samsung 65es8000. the apps are a bit more difficult to navigate than on the tv, but not impossible. the wireless feature is great to have and works easily. sony's blu-rays have always been superior in my opinion, in this price range, and this unit is no exception. it averages a few dollars more that the comparable samsung, etc, but the ease of use any sony quality make it worth it for me.
saved me money and then some Written By Scott S, WNY on Saturday, November 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this model because of the dual HDMI out. My LG 3D TV is a recent acquisition. I had to switch to 1.4 cables to see the BD 3D. My Sony reciever is 1.3. I bought a 1.4 cable to run to the TV, and a second HDMI cable runs to the receiver just for the audio. I wanted a second 3D BD and this solution saved me buying a new receiver. The Sony also does a better job on the 3D disks than the Samsung BD-6900. Pros: 2 HDMI outputs at a resonable price. Awesome Crutchfield service. Good start up speed without the standy - by power. Cons: No back light on the remote. Had to reboot it once.
Mild Glitches but Playback excellent Written By orlandomountaineer, Orlando, FL on Friday, November 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had to update the software after I plugged in the unit - it would not do this properly wirelessly. I had to go online and find the instructions on YOUTUBE on how to burn a CD online, then putting it into the BD player. Thank goodness it worked or I would have returned this player. Another glitch I've encountered is that when I stop a movie for a long time or use the chapter function, sometimes the audio won't play and I have to restart the movie. I called customer support and they have no solution for that. They were able to instruct me on how to correct the audio/video mismatch that I encountered with the Bluray movies. Other than those issues, the playback is excellent for sound and video, the speed is good for loading, and the online content is excellent (thought the keyboard function for the internet is pretty much unusable because it takes too long). Pros: playback excellent, good online content Cons: software update tricky, audio missing after stoppage of play, audio/video mismatch - correctable
Sony BDP-S790 Written By Bill Roberts, Hobart, IN on Thursday, November 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome! Played 4 Blue-ray disks that my old player refused to play. 3 others had no problems in the Sony, old one had delays and sometimes skipped ahead. Pros: Tons of setup options. Cons: Manual could be clearer for some of the options, but I got most of it. I will play around with it and figure it all out eventually.
About as good as they come . . . Written By JW of Asheville, Asheville, NC on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought the S790 as we're converting to wireless in this house, particularly for the purpose of streaming video to a Sony "Smart" TV. With no assurances as to the outcome of the task I cannot give much to the player's performance in that area. However, as a Blu ray player that, of course plays regular DVD's, it also does an excellent job with SACDs. I have a high-end Marantz SACD player and an OPPO. All three treat the music with justice but thus far my ears tell me that the sound of the same SACD disk comes across with greater instrument definition still maintaining the roundness, softness of the music (almost totally classical). The above statement applies also to music DVDs. My wife loves the look of the S790 - thinks the soft-touch controls are "neat" (and I agree). If you enjoy the challenge of properly setting up a piece of gear as complex as is this payer, you have your wish. But, it's in this area that the Sony beats most of the other players. Pros: Good build quality. Clear, clean sound. Quiet. Clever controls. Ability to go wireless and obtain streaming video. Excellent user booklet (which is rare for Sony). Cons: None.
Sony BDP-S790 Written By Consumer Alert, Orange County, CA on Friday, October 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This Sony player is one of the best DVD/BD player that I've ever owned, and God knows I own tens of them. Love it! Pros: Great quality, sharp picture and ease of operation. Cons: None!
sacd playback Written By bill v.d., bushkill, pa. on Thursday, August 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i just submitted my review on the consumers site. i stated the reason for buying this unit was mainly for sacd playback. i own two panasonic bd's but neither one is capable of sacd playback. personally i think sacd playback sounds better than regular cd's. it put's you in the center of the music, especially classical music. my system consists of pioneer elite receiver and sunfire ribbon speakers, and they sound excellent. thank's for your time. Pros: sacd and picture quality. the picture looks great on my tc-p65vt50 tv Cons: none
EXCELLENT Player for Those on a Budget and Just Want a Little More! Written By vermonter16, Manassas, VA on Tuesday, July 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i wanted the Oppo BDP-93 but due to certain financial circumstances I had to put myself on a budget. I narrowed it down to two players under $300 and took a chance with the Sony. I have been anti-Sony for many years now due to what I feel is lack of quality and merely profiting off of the Sony name. However, as of late, Sony is definitely starting to rebuild their image. I thought that I'd give them a try and I have not been disappointed. First of all - set-up took all of a couple of minutes. I connected it to my wireless network (which got one bar because I have this player in the basement) and yet it still was a very good speed when replaying videos online. I haven't yet experienced any freezing and haven't had to reboot. The image quality is very good too. As for DVDs this player grabs them super fast. There isn't much lag time at all. You pop the disc in and your playing the movie in lightning speed. I haven't yet thrown a thumb drive in to look at photos or anything like that but for the features that I have used - I give this player two thumbs up. I have friends that have 'cheaper' players and they work just fine and within their budget. But if you're looking for a step above and can't afford the Oppo and maybe want to save another $50 off the Panasonic DM-BDT500 and maybe use the savings and purchase an extended warranty instead - GET THIS PLAYER! If you just want to save $50 and spend it on a couple of new movies - then GET THIS PLAYER!

Ex-Red Sox GM who oversaw Clemens' departure mum on report
Updated: December 15, 2007, 5:21 PM ET
Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com
Dan Duquette was vilified by many after suggesting that star pitcher Roger Clemens was entering the "twilight of his career" when he left the Boston Red Sox in 1996.
But in the wake of Thursday's release of the Mitchell report -- which includes nine pages of allegations linking Clemens' to use of performance-enhancing drugs -- Duquette is not taking the opportunity to proclaim himself vindicated.

Replacement Battery Complaints
By JNJ
from Southern Indiana
About Me Frequent User
Comments about iRobot Advanced Power System (APS) 3000 mAh NiMH Battery:
For those who are complaining about shortened battery life in your replacement battery, there is a very simple explanation. Your old battery was a NiCd battery which has fallen from favor for environmental reasons. Most all NiCd batteries have been replaced by NiMH batteries -- these included. NiMH has high self-discharge and loses about 20 percent of its capacity within the first 24 hours, and 10 percent per month thereafter. It's as simple as that. It is not the fault of Roomba or their battery vendor.My advice is to buy the cheapest replacement battery, go for 3500mh and plan to replace your battery more often than you might wish.

Starts Out Well, But Then ...
By abthree
from Oak Park, IL
About Me Homeowner
I bought this battery to replace the original, that ran my Roomba 570 well for almost three years. It started out really well, but has failed after only nine months. Unlike the original battery, it did not respond to the reset procedure. iRobot will not stand behind it after six months.

Did not last very long.
By Tom
from Near San Diego, CA
I purchased the current battery directly from iRobot on 03/28/12. I used it in the Roomba about twice a week. It started out doing fine, lasting almost two hours, but now, after about half an hour, it's calling it quits. I figure that's about 170 uses, or maybe 100 complete charge/discharge cycles. Kind of disappointing. I would hope iRobot would make a lithium polymer battery drop-in replacement for this expensive and not too powerful nickel metal hydride one.

Parts are very expensive and don't last long. I bought the currently battery not that long ago (at least the third one I've bought and maybe more). It's been kept charged and not used that much, but it is totally discharged within two or three minutes. Until I break down and buy yet another battery, my robot is useless.

About Me Homeowner, Pet Owner
My son, a Marine, bought me my Roomba before he deployed leaving his Siberian Husky for me to love on in his absence. The Roomba has been a life saver with all the shedding I have dealt with! I do have to empty and clean it probably more than someone without a dog but that is small potatoes to me. My first Roomba quit working after a few months and the company replaced it with no hesitation. I remain impressed with the service they provided. My Roomba is 4 years old and this is my first battery replacement. This is a quality product from a quality company. Oh, son is safe after 3 deploys and I have the dog...and my faithful Roomba!

Battery for Roomba
By Eva
from Switzerland
I like "Marie". She is doing well. The Problem is the battery. In the beginning it's working good, recharging well. But very soon it's not recharging anymore and Marie is only working for few minutes instead of the 2-3 hours from the beginning. It's a pity.

Our Roombas are like part of the family
By Fred and Penny
from Markham, On. Canada / Pharr Tx. USA
We are senior seniors and vacuuming is very difficult for us. We bought our first robot (Ruby) in the hope that it would do as advertised. We were so happy with the results that we bought #2 (Robbie) for our winter home. We decided that now life was so good, we bought #3 (Rosie)to use upstairs. These three machines are among the most worthwhile purchases we have ever made. If they are cleaned after every use there is every reason to believe that they will last for many years. Regrettably, the batteries are somewhat short lived and quite expensive.

from Indiana
SO I purchased this for my mom after her original battery went bad after leaving the Irobot off the charger. I was sceptical because of the negative reviews but she loves it and says it runs longer than she needs it to using doing the living room, dining, and 2-3 bedrooms.

I love my roomba
By Ann
from El Paso, TX
I love my roomba. Vacuuming is the worst thing for your back and after taking care of my husband who was disabled in Viet Nam, I have back problems. Our daughter gave me mine 5 or 6 years ago. I am still using the original battery but it needs a new one. I couldn't ask for anything better than my roomba. I actually have two both the same age so they clean the whole house at one time.

Best News of the year.
Wow. That went under the radar.
Best news!
Wow my boy is back. Interesting to see what he's got left in him. Bye bye Willie Green.. Hello Chauncey.
Hell ya
So why would he come back early in the midst of this fire VDN shatter? Hmmmmm....
Kinda weird to don't you think? If I wanted the coach fired, I'd wait out till he's gone. Seems Billups and the boys are on a mission now...Haters!
Will be a HUGE morale boost! Win,streak coming.
Yea boi
Kind of like the k love comeback
And just like that we are back to being the cockiest fans in the NBA, I love it. Chauncey for President
CJ why bring VDN into this? Its annoying
People are reasonably excited. Nobody is acting cocky about anything.
Cause I feel this premature comeback has to do with VDN. Yeah BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!
/ignore feature
I wasn't being sarcastic about it, I really feel we are the best team in the NBA right now and i'm sure others think that also. Chauncey is a game changer
Premature? Idk about that none of us knew anything. He did start playing 5-5 before the season started
Well after the Horents game there were countless Chauncey calls. When the 3-pt missing fiasco came to an end, I yelled towards the bench, "we need you Chauncey" and he just nodded. Guess he feels the teams need for him. Just really hope he has fully recovered and he feels that he is ready to return.
I cant belive it. This is gonna be intense. We actually have a shot at wiWwwnning this
he should be. Earli in the season the word was late november. Hen that got bumped to december
As long as he doesn't drive the lane looking for a foul too early in the last seconds against Minny, leaving them an opportunity to win the game.
Yeah... I still get the nightmares.
Well, it is considered premature based on what VDN said on Monday. he said there was no timetable for him. Billups had also said the same thing during the road trip.
haha yes!! I just got free tickets from a friend. I was already stoked on the game. Now I am even more excited!
I just game my seat away this morning due to some work functions. DAMN! I want to be there.
Welcome news, for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing how Chauncey looks out there. But I also gotta say I feel kind of bad for Willie Green. He's instantly going to go from a starter to like the 10th or 11th guy because of this. If Billups looks good, I think we may be seeing a lot of 3 guard/small line-ups in the future, so that CP, Billups and Crawford can play together. Its going to be interesting.
Coach Billups to the rescue!
I'm going to the game!!!!! finally Mr Big Shot is back!
Since CJ brought up VDN, i'll just say that if this turns into Willie Green and Eric Bledsoe splitting minutes or Green playing more minutes than bledsoe, then we have all the evidence we need that there is no hope for VDN.
Yeah, I have a lot of gratitude and sympathy for Willie. Overall, he did a great job of holding down the fort for a 3rd-stringer. Hopefully, we can blow some of these weaker teams out early over the next month and he'll at least get some good garbage minutes.
I usually get to the games right on time for tip. Hopefully I can get on the road early to help with standing O Billups is going to receive. I'm so excited. He's been in practice for a while and on the road trip he told Mike Smith that he was ready, just wanted to get practice in so as not to screw with chemistry. He is ready. Let's get this win!
Forcing my parents to let me go! MR. BIG SHOT is back!!!
Maybe integrating Billups so early will seal Vinnys Fate. Vinny might not know how to deal with the rotations and Billips might not look that good???
I guess will find out tonight!
probably because he is a professional and doesnt care who is coaching just wants to do whatever he can to help the team win.
Hope he won't be rusty...
Awesome news!!! This is just what the team needed to lift their spirits up at a crucial part of the season. I'm expecting a more energized and focused Clippers team from here on out. Let's go Clips!!!
GREAT post by Tsherkin from RealGM regarding his impact.
"He's a career 49.6% eFG and 58.1% TS player because he draws fouls at .444 FTA/FGA over the course of his career, canning them at 89.4% FT. That, coupled with his career 38.9% 3P shooting (5 seasons at 40%+) makes him a HIGHLY efficient and extremely effective offensive player, to say nothing of what happens when you add in the fact that he's a good playmaker (just not a volume playmaker).
It makes sense to give him a bunch of touches, because he's absurdly efficient with them. You're talking about a guy who takes 11.2 FGA/g on his career, produces 15.5 ppg (9 straight seasons of 16.2+ ppg, at that) and produces a career 118 ORTG (7 years in a row of 120+)."
CB show EB how to mannup and play like a beast after an Achilles injury. I have a feeling he's going to play smarter (if thats possible) and more smooth now that his whole body has rested and reshaped.
How do you measure that? If we need a shooter, you go with Willie. If you want defense and ball hogging, you go with Bledsoe.
Oh, and if Bledsoe continues to stink it up, and VDN makes a change, you guys will go after VDN for not giving him minutes. And if we keep Bledsoe in despite him playing subpar, you guys will go after him for not making adjustments. lol
catch22 no matter what happens...
Yes yes hell yes !!
Joe Bledsoe absolutely isn't playing particularly well the last couple games but nowhere near "stinking it up". Dude got what 12 and 8 minutes the last two games? Bledsoe never gets enough time to show much... but vs the Hawks just two games ago he scored 12 in the 4th and was the main defensive stopper that key'd the huge comeback (which fell short).
You missed the point. This was always Billups' decision. This had nothing to do witgh VDN, this was not his choice. VDN has always made it clear that the decision wasn't his to make.
Of course, Bledsoe gets his points every chance he gets. I've said his scoring doesn't impress me, I'm worried how he doesn't make anyone better. The second squad lacks direction and it falls on Bledsoe. So my problem lies in him not making anyone better. In case you haven't noticed, the bench as a whole stinks. The team as a whole stnks so this isn't just about Bledsoe. I mentioned Bledsoe cause that was directed at me.
Caron Butler: I'm so honest with people when they're coming back from injury. I'll be like, 'You look a step slow still.' But he looks great."
such a feel good story. good for chauncey - im glad he's realizing the effects of hard-work, determination, focus, and PASSION for the game. its no wonder why this guy is seen as one of the best locker room leaders in the game.
BIG UPS, BIG SHOT! staples better give this guy a ROUSING standing ovation.
How bout another win streak !!
Yea you're right, I remember. I had him marked down for end of Nov as well, just thought we could afford to have him rest up a bit more and tune himself better with an extra 10-12 days.
Woah now... I hope I'm not seeing you speculate on a player's opinion of VDN. That would make you a hypocrite.
We're u in the locker room. How do u know if Vinny didn't ask Billups if he could come back a week early. Maybe Billups was asked if was ready to play. Maybe Vinny is trying to save his ass. If Billups ain't ready it might just back fire on Vinny. I could see it happening. Billups was expected early December not late November.
^This IS Billiups choice and only Billups choice.

i dont expect billups to play more than 20 minutes tonight. but whatever minutes he gets, he will definately help this team out.
