This is the third unit (Sony) in four years. The first lasted for three years. The second lasted for two months. This one is new but exhibiting problems straight out of the box, but is still operational (with adequate prayers and pleading). This machine hangs up and must be unplugged from time to time to reboot. Almost all commands from the remote control take 10 to 30 seconds to respond correctly. The unit has been updated per Sony. The worst part is: Every manufacturer that I researched has identical or similar issues! What is a poor fella to do? I honestly dont believe it is a purchase price issue because the first Blu Ray we bought for $50 at Walmart. The only way I recommend this player is "under protest".
