No, Paul, you are not the only to have to do this. In addition, because my remote is intermittant, sometimes I have to get up and press PLAY on the player. I tried another Sony DVD remote, it worked but had the same problems so I believe it's the player that's at fault. It's still a great player for the $30 I paid for it. Great picture quality, features, and plays scratched DVDs!!!! All the best.

Yes, this feature does exist with this player but much to my chagrin, it does not circumvent the restrictions of certain DVD'S which don't allow this feature to be used.

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

I have not had an issue with sound with the unit. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve for sound. I think the unit is a bit slow for response is my biggest concern. Otherwise I just use it to play L&H; classic films. Because it was much cheaper to buy the region 2 library disc set than it was for ntsc by about 200.00.

I've only used mine with Phillips and Sylvania DVD players, so I don't know. Sorry.

Don't know if this will work the same on the 550 as with my DVD player.... Occassionally I need to select a choice other than the default on the movie's menu for audio. Hope this helps. You might want to post this on AV Science Forum if you contunie to have problems.

thanks for the info, it works for me. Now I have to find one for the Sony Blu Ray.

It seems to work with most of the sony blue ray players but not exactly sure on that model.

I think that's the one biggest flaw with this Sony model. If it senses a 720 or 1080 signal, it won't allow you to select Normal setting. A 4:3 image gets blown up and distorted by either "full" or "zoom" settings. I solved it with DVDs by changing the setting at the level of the Sony player. But I haven't hooked up to a hdtv digital box yet, so I'm not sure how I'll deal with it then. You could use your DVD player as a tuner, possibly, but I hope there's a better solution than that or the TV gets sent back.

I had not used that option but have now tested. Headphones work fine and the output to the RCA jacks is not interrupted when the 3.5 mm jack is in use. Something to keep in mind -- there is no volume control on the decoder. The SPDIF output from the TV is probably not controlled either. Unless your headphone has an integrated volume control the result may be uncomfortable. I checked off air vs. DVD on my TV. Off air came out with a moderate volume on my headphones where as DVD was pretty loud during some passages. Depending on your personal preferences it is possible that some audio could actually be too low in volume.

I do not know if this will help, but I plugged in from my DVD source audio optical and into the input of the decoder and have good success. I have also used the coaxial connection from my DVD source and the decoder and that has worked as well. Good luck!

Most likely because the Sony player is an older model that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW disks. I have a Sony DVP-S7000 (first Sony DVD player) and it does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW, but my Sony Playstation 2 does. Check your manual if it says anything about it being able to play the writable formats. This information will also usually be indicated on the face plate of the unit, if it can play the additional formats in addition to the standard DVD format.

It depends on where the sound comes from. If from the DVD it will work fine. It is everything you would hope for.

Haven't tried this with the player. It works fine with some European music DVD's that I wanted to watch on the TV, and not on my PC.
