It plays discs fine. However I did have a problem to where I tried playing a DVD and it was picking it up. Like It was acting like there was nothing in it. Now streaming from Netflix is the biggest problem. It will shut off in the middle of your show or movie and cut off at the end of each show. I've been through 2 and I don't recommend it.

Couldn't be easier to hook up and play back; no registration required (which is probably just for warranty/sales promo reasons anyway).

It works better after the software update but it will work straight out of the box.

Hi Shelley,I sent you a post in another discussion. It seems the Netflix movies are giving me grief!! I'm trying to watch Michael Clayton, and my player says its incompatible. I'm having a tough time installing the firmware update as well... the machine can't seem to locate the dang file on my jump drive. Oh well, maybe the disc is bad.Cheers!

I haven't tried this app. I am only using it to play discs. I have had problems even with that. First one was freezing. Second one had audio issues. Haven't received the third one yet. Customer service has been difficult. Seriously regretting my decision to purchase this player.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

Sorry, I don't use the download aspect, but all I do is create wav file (lossless) from cd rip from windows media player from my cds onto the hardrive and then transfer the files to the Sony player and the sounds would just simply be "Awesome"...

I called a tech and he said no, and yet some people are saying yes. Does the Nero Disc (came w/ player) do anything to allow streaming from pc to player?

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Did you ever get an asnwer to your question? I'm considering both of these players right now and need one that's plays-for-sure compatible to use with Rhapsody.

Do you know if this will be available with new firmware? Do any Sony players have this feature?

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

Mine plays DVD movies but it doesn't play CDs or software CDs.. weird huh. I updated with the newest firmware but still doing the same. Anybody know what is going on? Please help. Thanks

I have connected my Sony and Samsung DVDs to this as DLNA. I have found issues with both devices, but they seem to be on the device side, not the drive side. For example, the samsung Bluray will not pay things that the Sony does, and vice versa. It's quite annoying.

Hi, The Sony's do take longer than many other players-sometimes it seems like "forever" but the ability to play imperfect discs and the overall quality of playback is worth it. I have compared the sony to Panasonic S-53K , Toshiba and Philips---the sony seems clearer. Just takes a little patience with the slow drawer and the welcome display.... peter

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

I just started using MediaMonkey (the free version) and it works well with the DX50. All I've done so far is to sync the library after ripping new CDs; haven't created any playlists or anything else.
