Does this player show what point you are in DVD? example, 23 minutes in a 60' dvd- useful for dance/yoga etc? If not, could you recommend one. thx

It doesn't have a display on the DVD player itself, so you cannot see it there. However there is a button on the remote that allows you to have the video time displayed on the top right hand corner of the screen, so it is possible - just depends whether having it on the screen bothers you or not.

Finally recieved new zumba package will not play on any dvd player in my house just my computer. Of course, there is no room there. Can't believe this wan't mentioned or an issue we were made aware of before spending the money...

All of the answers given are very accurate. My only issue (and it may be something I didn't do) is that I do not feel the 1080p up-conversion of standard dvd's is that great compared to an older sony BDP-S590. But all in all, a great player with far faster load times and audio quality and beautiful Bluray quality. And if anyone knows the secret to great up conversion with this machine, feel free to comment

I use my player for what it is, a DVD player and it works very well. I am not interested in downloading therefore I have absolutely no idea.

That is so strange. I'm having problems just playing the CD, it keeps losing single to my receiver. I have had some performance issues with playing DVDs as well. We like to power through 4-6 hours DVD movie watching on a Saturday afternoon. After about 3 hours, I get a red screen and the DVD stops showing. I also, have lots of locking up issues on DVDs that play fine on other DVD players. I'm getting a bit fustrated as I've only had the player for 3 months and it's getting worse in terms of performance. I've been considering another player...

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

My question is to anyone out there. I'm experiencing the same old problem I've come to expect with DVD players - they eventually - sometimes the next day or two - get to where they refuse to play an increasing number of discs. Present Sylvania VHS/DVD combo has lasted 2 years, but is beginning to skip and refuse more discs. Is this Sony or another player the best bet for playing all discs? Most of the refused discs show no signs of damage to my eyes. Thanks much!

This player only has availability for 6 Disc. There are other Players you can purchase that will hold many more Disc's If you havn't purchased yet search for other units with larger capacity's. Hope this helped.

are you sure? my model is old and i can't edit and finalize afterwards and use in another dvd player. The finalize process is the real important thing to play in other players, but just with RAM discs because it won't let me edit using DVD-RW discs.

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

I have posted a similar question. I just like to know if plays all the old format DVD's. I'm only interested playing all my DVD's. I have a Pnasonic 42" TV. (Not 1080) 2 years old that I love.

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.
