4.0 out of 5 stars Quick and easy, nice integration with Bravia TV, January 14, 2009

Nice product and a solution to my problem. I needed to run an HDMI cable behind my fireplace and accompanying walls to hook up my DVD player to my 52" XBR5 LCD TV and was this putting the labor intensive process off. Then Sony released the Bravia Link DVD player that attaches behind the TV. That solved my problem!

Pros: Nice small form factor, not noticeable. Nice integration with the menu bar on the TV. Because of the integration it does not require you to deal with LED repeater that you may need if you have your components in another area. Nice remote, better than what came with the TV. It does a beautiful job with upscaling standard DVDs.

Cons: A little expensive for an upscaling DVD player that in component form cost $79 at most. If your TV is already mounted on the wall, it is difficult to attach the required mount. If you use a TV mounting bracket other than Sony's bracket you may run into problems like I did. I got it to work but it is not attached properly. The DVD auto selects the screen mode. Most DVDs default to wide screen which is fine, but it will not allow you select another screen size. I reduced it by a star because of the difficult mounting process if your TV is already mounted on the wall.

Over all, it saved me a weekend of work and aggravation!

I would have liked to know that it would work with my Sony TV. I would like to have received an instruction manuel with the product. There was an initial problem with the volume freezing and immediately had to consult on-line support to find it had to be reset to factory specs. Final review, a great size, picture and all around product once clear of bugs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works as promised, March 18, 2009

The DMXDVD Link module works seamlessly with my 40" Bravia TV. After a 10 minute installation, I was able to pop in a DVD and watch up-scaled movies on my TV.

I was disappointed when I discovered that the DVD unit has its own power supply and is not power by the DMex port. I now have an additional cord that runs from the TV to the wall outlet.

This unit is expensive for an integrating option. With less-expensive options available, you should weigh the importance of the integration for the price.

I was delighted to find that the DMXDVD comes with an additional remote control; perhaps Sony can eliminate this addition and reduce the price some.
