This Blue-Ray player has a decent picture but it is FAR too slow in modern-day standards. It literally takes Five to Ten minutes to turn on. It's so bad that I actually turn it on then go and make my movie popcorn while it's "powering up". Nine times out of Ten the popcorn is ready before I even get the "sony" startup screen on my TV. Don't get this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Slowwwww!, March 4, 2009

As everyone else has stated, this unit is SLOW. But in case you didn't get the hint, here's one more review for you. I couldn't be more disappointed as to how long it takes to power up, its slow response to the remote and reading a dvd.

I have a Harmony remote with a "Movietime" activity. I push my button, the TV and receiver pops on, the lights go out and... ... ... ... we sit in darkness for 2+ minutes. Comical really...
