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:PriceBatteryCrisp picture especially with newer Blu-ray moviesRemoteEasy to use touch keysCons:Only one headphone jacksVolume with moviesLimited way to check of the batteryNo wifi

We bought this player for our trip to Mexico. It was well worth it! It is reasonably priced and highly portable. The HDMI port is regular size, not mini. It held a charge on the plane and when we got to our hotel we could easily plug it into the TV in our room and watch movies on the big TV. The clarity and sound is great. The screen size is small, but a decent size for a portable player. We were excited to see there price come down in these players since all of our movies are now Blu Ray. Well worth it if you are traveling and want a portable player!

Got this as a gift to replace a Panasonic portable DVD player. The idea was to allow watching Blu-ray discs as well. It's a good product, but not great. The screen is nice, and the ability to turn it around and even fold it flat is quite handy. But, compared to the portable DVD player, this is much larger and significantly heavier. One other not great feature is that most of the controls are touch controls, not physical buttons, so if you're trying to use it in the dark, you can't just feel around to find the button you want without setting off all of them! So overall it's not a bad device, but there are many things that could be improved.

We bought this and Car Headrest Mount for Swivel and Flip Style Portable DVD Player-9-Inch. its great. My daughter can watch movies and i can control it with the remote control. when it is powered off it remembers where it stopped and once you hit select it starts from where u left off. the sound is great, it gets really loud. and the display is wonderful. we played our blu rays in it and the picture is just as crisp as it is when it is on our home hd tv. the dvds also come out really great.

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.

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!
