Sony BDPS3700 Streaming WiFi Blu Ray Player (Renewed)

Comment

I purchased 2 of these players, one for my room and one for my daughters room. The one in my room lasted approximately 3 months, then it wouldnt turn on at all. Tried unplugging and replugging and changing batteries and cables, nothing helped. Thankfully my daughter never even plugged hers in, so I moved that one to my room. When I plugged in the 2nd one I found out that the original player didnt even work correctly. Apps were missing, buttons on the remote actually did what they said they were supposed to. Very Disappointed in the first one. We will see if the second one lasts longer than the first.

The unit stops playing on all the Blue Ray movies I have tried. The solution is cycling the on/off switch. This results in loosing some of the movie. I am going to try and return the unit tomorrow and shop for a different system.

All DVDs play in a "full screen" mode. I have several DVD collections of older TV shows, which are 4:3 format. This player zooms and crops them to always fill the 16:9 screen, making these shows look horrible--people look fat and heads are cut off on top. The USB and wireless worked pretty well, but not nearly enough "channels" e.g NBC, CBS, etc., are available--Ill stay with my Roku.

Plays with a blue halo around the black areas of the screen. 99 days old, warranty is shot. After owning a few SONY BR players, Im eyeing moms unused Samsung rather than roll the dice again. Not worth even thinking about, but a poor result even for a refirb. I guess its a WIN for SONY when the customers item takes a dump a week out of warranty.

Sony DVD player BDPS3700 is very poor. When using the remote control, pressing the buttons are non responsive more than half the time, and when they do respond it is a 3-5 second lag. The players operations, the disc playing, app using are lagging as well. Those can take anywhere between 15 seconds to 2 minutes before they will begin their operation, especially when its trying to move between one operation and another, i.e. if you jumped directly from playing a DVD to going into the Netflix app. After reading further reviews, it appears that remanufactured or new doesnt matter, its a P.O.S. either way. Save your money, spend a little more for a better one, like a Samsung model that hear is better with its performance and functions (Apps, Wifi connection).

I ordered two BDPS 3700 Blu Ray Players which were delivered timely. The first has been set up and has NOT eaten a disc as yet. It operates well and has exhibited no negative issues as others have experienced. The other has not been installed yet but I have been notified that the warranty is only for 30 days. If they work as expected they will be one of the better buys in this product line.

This is the first refurbished item I have purchased, so I did it with some apprehension. Overall I have been very pleased. The product and user guide appear brand-new. For me this is an upgrade from an older Sony DVD player. Most features are the same. This one of course plays Blu-Ray discs, and its somewhat easier to navigate among the menu items. Recommended.

For Blu-rays, it looks good and sounds good. But for DVDs of SD sources it really is terrible. It is night and day worse with SD sources than my moms 10 year old DVD player. I suppose for the price, you dont get upsampling, or anything like that. Also, it takes forever to load a Blu-ray. Its a Blu-ray player. Thats it. Oh yeah, it does Netflix and other streaming stuff, but really, dont you have that on every device now? Its just clutter.

Bought a refurb of the same player that I bought new a few years ago. Unfortunately the new refurbished unit began to fail within 2 months: intermittent lockups & freezing requiring uinplug (not simple power off--had to unplug unit and replug to get it to work again), plus loss of WiFi connection requiring setting up the unit as if I had never configured it before. I love the Sony Player, but I will not be buying a refurbished Sony player again.

No complaints. I bought this so my wife can play her P90X DVDs for her workouts. I chose this model because of its small size and no-frills cost. It works fine for playing physical media. Dont buy this for the apps. Its no substitute for a Roku or other streaming player. Just use it as a DVD/Blu-Ray player and you should be fine. The refurbished model was at least $20 less than a new one if I recall correctly. This particular model has wi-fi and in hindsight I see no reason to pay more for that.
