Setting the record straight.

byfelixderkater Mar 14, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Video quality.
Cons Aggressive copy protection.
Recommended it? Yes

After seeing so many complaints, I knew I had to post and set the record straight on this DVD recorder. I purchased this machine used about eight months ago, so I have a fair bit of experience with it. I have also used several other similar devices from Sony's competitors. All of the competitors'...

Expensive for such a mixed bag

Pros Good output quality.
Cons Violates user's legitimate Fair Educational Use copyright entitlements
Recommended it? No

The titleing using the remote is a pain in the neck. The discs take nigh on to forever before they "load" for playback.

Quality, however is decent, although I learned the hard way you can't record on any DVD's except Sony DVD's, which is annoying as all-get-out.

Oddly, a step backwards in a few areas.

Pros Loads BDs VERY fast, excellent BD play and features
Cons On-line streaming interface and setup below par, tiny little buttons on front
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this to replace one of my older Sony BD players that was loading VERY slowly.  The S570 loads BDs of all types like a jackrabbit, which is great!  As far as I can tell, it plays everything (including a variety of other video and audio formats) flawlessly.  Plus, it accesses...

Recommended it? Yes

The Sony BDP-S570 3D Blu-ray Disc Player has quickly become an electronic device that I never want to live without.  And while I love many of my electronic gizmos, this one does things that make it much more than a Blu-ray player.

Purely as a Blu-ray player, others have reviewed it in... Read full review »
