Sony BDPSX910 Sony Portable Blu-ray Player (Old Model)

I am very impressed with this portable Blu-ray player, especially since I purchased it when it was still $199. The picture is very clear and the color is great with newer Blu-ray discs. I have the unit set at half brightness and that is all I need. The volume is pretty good, but I think it could be better. If you are going to use this DVD player in the car, it might not be very loud unless you are using a headphone or earbuds. That being said, the unit only has one headphone jack, so only one person can enjoy the movie with quality sound in a louder-than-being-at-home environment. That being said, the sound quality with good earbuds is great. I actually heard something in a movie I had never heard before even though I have seen the movie a number of times. Two headphone jacks and wifi would have made this unit close to perfect. What I am most impressed about is the battery and that it basically lives up to its specs ... which I find rare with electronics. Sony says the battery will last up to four and a half hours. Also, the unit does not get hot on your lap. Right off the charger I was able to get four hours and 25 minutes at half brightness (10). I wish it were a bit easier to check the battery besides shutting off the movie to see, but at least there is a flashing light on the unit to alert the viewer that the battery is about 20 minutes from dying. During my test, the light started flashing at four hours and five minutes. I played a non-Blu-ray DVD and the picture and sound is good. I played a music CD and the volume seemed louder than with a movie. It sounded very good. I tried inserting a flash drive, but the unit said the drive was not supported. The only thing I can think of is that the drive contained more than just pictures, videos or music. Perhaps later I will delete a flash drive that I don't use and just add some pics, music and video to see if it works. Hopefully this Blu-ray player lasts a really long time because it is a great unit for the price and included features. Pros: Price Battery Crisp picture especially with newer Blu-ray movies Remote Easy to use touch keys Cons: Only one headphone jacks Volume with movies Limited way to check of the battery No wifi

If you are looking for a detailed review this is not it! This portable player is GREAT! The picture is sharp and clear! It is easy to use and lays totally flat-which means it can be watched from any position-any where. Has been used by a 10 year old to watch movies on while large TV is in use--really loves it! Controls are easy to use and headphones can be plugged in easily so viewer can watch with others in the room. Charges easily and runs for a long period of time. Can play blu-ray DVD's as well as others. Love Sony products! Am using a DVD/VHS player that is a Sony--have had it for over 10 years and it is still going strong. Also have a Bravia Sony HDTV and Love it! So this player is being added to our household--I do not know how long this player will last but have had others that lasted only 2 years or less. I am hoping this one will last longer. Our players get a lot of travel time use too. When we go on car trips the portable players go a long. I use them to run exercise CDs in the motel room so my exercising continues. Plus they get used during car travel by our son and in the motel room if he wants to watch a favorite movie. So far this player has been GREAT!

Bought for two purposes; long road trips and our first blu-ray player. We use this primarily for watching blu-ray disks on our big screen tv via an HDMI cable. It is reasonably quick loading and responsive and has worked flawlessly for about three months. When unplugged, the battery has lasted plenty long enough to watch movies and I have no complaints at all about the image on the device itself. It is tiny, so you are not going to get your typical blu-ray experience via big screen. I have two quibbles; first, the power cord needs to be at least a foot longer as it is inconveniently short if you want to set the player on average height furniture, and secondly, it would be nice if the volume could be turned up a bit louder for use while traveling in a car as I prefer speakers to headphones. Otherwise this is a very good product relative to other consumer electronics I have owned recently. If it lasts a half dozen years or more it will be a great product!

Overall I'm really happy with this Blu-ray player. I find the sound quality without headphones/earbuds to be reasonable, and with them, excellent. The video quality is great as well. Navigation isn't as intuitive as I'd like, but I also transitioned from my portable Sony DVD player, so it could also be just me adjusting to new controls from what I've become accustomed to. The only drawback is the power cord is extremely short. My old player I could have plugged in beside the bed and the cord was long enough to comfortably sit on my lap. This new cord is super short, so it does not reach (even though the plug is straight down from the side of the bed). That's really the only thing I'd change.

As a family that does a lot of car traveling, this product has been a god-send. The screen turns all the way around so it can sit safely on the center console but face backwards for the kids to watch. The sound level is strong and clear via the built-in speaker but it's best to play through car speakers. Also, when your driving is done, you simply plug into the hotel TV's HDMI port to watch more if desired and the remote comes in handy for that. The screen resolution doesn't strike me as amazing but it means you can buy Blue-ray discs for your home system and still play them on the road if you want. (When not traveling, we connect it to the TV in the guest bedroom for added convenience ... always nice to have an alternative space in case the parents want to use the bigger screen for themselves!)

We use this in a presentation/classroom setting, primarily because we've found that a presenter or instructor would prefer to see what's being sent to the projector independently, i.e., either while the projector is still warming up or while the projector is blacked out so as not to distract attendees or students. It helps us add a dimension of professionalism to keep menu navigation chores off-stage, as it were, and have the DVD or Blu-Ray paused right where it needs to be when it's time to direct folks' attention to the screen. So our reason for looking at a portable player has to do with being able to have a small screen located right on the player. Since it's not a permanent installation, like in a media cabinet, it also helps that the unit is small and light. One minor annoyance: once the unit is hooked up to an HDMI cable for output, the headphone jack is disabled. If you're trying to send the audio to a sound bar or other speaker system, you need an outboard audio separator. Not overly expensive, not hard to find, just a little confusing at first.

This is the best portable Blu-Ray player I have ever owned! I dropped it a few times, but it still worked well and lasted more than three years with continuous use. It’s a shame Tokyo, Japan doesn’t make it any longer. It had the best picture quality and sound quality ever.

I really wanted to like this little Blu-Ray player. It is slick , small and good looking. But the most important thing they need to be able to do is play movies. I bought my first one about 3 weeks ago. It was DOA. I couldn't get it to take any charge at all. I returned it and ordered as replacement. It came about a week ago. I immediately put it on the charger. I hurt my back for a few days, so I just left it on the charger. Today I had a chance to try it out. It played the first 4 minutes of a Blu-ray OK. I decided to try it on a DVD. It ran flawlessly for 12-15 minutes and then. NOTHING! I thought I had bumped a switch or something. I tried all the controls and still nothing. I then decided to put it on the charger. Low and behold the charge indicating light came on. It was charging a dead battery! Well. Amazon calls this the "old" model and I can agree. It is a great little machine for the money, but 2 out of 2 from different sellers - bad batteries. They have been on the shelves too long. Someone needs to take them all and install new batteries in them and then sell them as "refurbished". I cannot recommend this because of the battery issue. Stay away and save your money.

This is awesome...plays beautifully and the picture quality is supreme. I use it in my vehicle and it works great even when being bumped around while driving. I definitely recommend this product to everyone who's looking for an awesome bluray/did player.

一口にブルーレイディスクを再生出来るとあるが、同じ商品でも日本仕様と海外仕様では取扱いが違います。 商品には、ちゃんと海外仕様と表記して下さい。 日本製で録画したブルーレイが再生不能ですから。 メーカーも対応に苦慮しているとのことです。 どのような仕様かを提示して売り出して欲しいです。

This product has performed well since day one! I would be happy to endorse this one. Kudos to Sony!

並行輸入品なので国内販売のDVDソフト及び一部のBDーRが再生できないので、ソニーに問い合わせをしたところ、輸入品なのでわからないので直接アメリカソニーに問い合わせてくれと言われた。

This player has a good screen and the sound is great for that kind of system. It's nice to listen to movie when on the go. However, the battery life is on the short side, so having a power source near is a must if you want to watch more than one movie. I recommend this product!
