Sony Multi Zone Region Free Blu Ray Player - PAL/NTSC Playback - Zone A B C - Region 1 2 3 4 5 6

I ordered an S1500RF that is advertised very clearly as a 110-240v unit. What I got was a BDP-S1500 with a sticker over the model number indicating it was "region free 110-240 dual voltage". The unit had an after-market "modification" with a 90 day warranty and a plug in adaptor that was clearly ONLY playable in a 110v environment. Included was a photocopied one page sheet of instructions. Given that a BDP-S1500 is normally about $85, the company distributing this thing is charging an additional $75 to unlock it. They should be advertising a "modified" BDP-S1500, NOT a S1500RF. I was planning on bringing the unit with me to Europe, but given the limitations of the plug-in adaptor, I cannot. Buyer beware.

I got BDP-S1700. It came without a shipping box. All the shipping labels are applied to the original box. It does not work with 220V as advertised. The labeling on the box clearly says so. It does not play any of my DVD disks (even the ones without zone restriction) complaining the color system (PAL?) is not supported by the player.

I purchased a Zone B Blu Ray DVD and attempted to play it in the purchased Sony Multi Zone Region Free Blu Ray Player - PAL/NTSC Playback that was listed on Amazon. However, I received an error message and was unable to play the DVD, even after updating the firmware, as the instructions suggested. Please also note, this DVD player does not have Bluetooth, and must be connected to a router in order to access the internet. Im pretty disappointed with this player, but Id like to try another DVD before taking any other action.

This unit dors not play region B blu rays and falsely advertises to do so. This is my second unit to do so. AVOID.

I ordered this Blu Ray DVD Player Model BDP-S1500 Today 06 June, 2017 I received a Blu Ray DVD Player but not what was ordered. Instead I got a newer version BDP-S1700. One main factor I wish to state is this Device isnt worth $149.99 in fact it should cost no more than $99- for a Region free version. The Unit is very small and looks cheap. Also it didnt have Wifi so I couldnt watch Amazon Videos or YouTube. I returned this Player and will get a better one with all Regions A/ B/ C as well as Wifi. Wouldnt recommend this Sony at all.

The only good to mention about this player is that it plays all regions. Everything else you can imagine about this player sucks. The hardware. Have you ever used a computer during dial-up days? That type of pace seems blistering fast compared to the boot-up speed of this clunker. The software. The most basic procedure of connecting to the internet so you can use Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu etc is so convoluted that you have to configure the internet connection every time you start up an app. If you dont play the dance of timing correctly, by trying to start the app too soon after configuring it, for example, you can lock yourself out of all functionality and be in an endless configuration loop. (im stuck there now, which has inspired me to write this review). The remote. The teeny-tiny remote might be decent for a smaller persons hands (ladies and children) but for anyone with hands around the "large" size of gloves will find this puny remote giving them trouble now and then trying to hit the intended button. The buttons are not backlit, so good luck in low light situations - like... when youre watching tv and using this crap device. I bought this player because I need to be able to watch content from all regions. The options were limited when last I looked. If you can find something other than this player that suits your needs, I can say with confidence that you should try whatever else you can find before trying this stinking heap of dung.

I have used this player for about 6 months, and now it will not play a lot of discs, not even new ones. Highly recommend you look elsewhere for a region-free bluray player.
