This player worked fine for 6 months---and I was relatively happy with it's performance. It had component video and was relatively inexpensive--only real complaint was lack of CD-R support.
Unfortunately, I started having problems with it making it through an entire movie w/o getting stuck. Within a matter of a month it has progressed to a point where it requires a hard reset 3-5 times to get through a single movie.
I contacted Sony about the issue, and their response was that since it was "SO FAR" beyond their warranty period (apparently 8 months is SO FAR beyond a reasonable life expectency for their lousy product) that there was nothing they could do. They were also uninterested in the additional complaints I cited on this and other consumer review sites

I always buy Sony and have always been really happy with the lifetime of their products (my existing TV is now 8 years old and still looks new and works perfectly). Netherless if this is the case with your DVD player and Sony do not sort something out, I advise you to get straight onto Trading Standard as I'm sure they will disagree with the life expectancy Sony are quoting on this product. Good Luck! Sandra. P.S. a little more detail on your ops will result in much better ratings, price, features etc. See Ya!

I thought Sony provided a year's warranty on all their products? Where did you buy it from? Janet
