It will lock up and then tell you it cant read it. It is very frustrating to pay $300 for a disc player that doesn't work; when you contact Sony, you are told you have to buy a thumbdrive and update the firmware-I barely have time to watch the movie, much less mess with the technology that is SUPPOSED to already be in place!! My $30 DVD player doesn't give me any trouble and the picture is almost as good on the tv!I would not waste my money on this product. Get what you pay for   February 10, 2010 Edmund J. Stankiewicz This Blu-Ray player was thrown in for free w/ the purchase of my Aquos TV (Which I Love). It plays about 25% of my Blu-Ray DVDs.Very frustrating. Steer clear of this junker   February 8, 2010 C. Steen (Grovetown, GA) Bottom line up front: if you're looking for a new BD player, you're probably not even considering this one since it's way out of date; this review is more of a rant/vent for me. We bought this BD-DVD player in 2008, when Blu-ray players were still fairly expensive, because 1) it had fairly good reviews (at the time) and 2) Best Buy was having a "Buy a BD player, get 10 movies free" deal (and the PS3 wasn't included). At first, everything was great. The picture quality was great, movies loaded quickly, and the only complaint that we had with it was the sound through the TV was too low (probably more on the TV than the player though). However, as time has passed, and firmware versions upgraded, this player has gone from being a good purchase to one of the biggest electronics regrets we've had (aside from also purchasing HD-DVD players). Where to start...where every electronic starts, with the power button. At first, from power-on to movie start was only 1-2 minutes; now, it takes AT LEAST five minutes before the disc even starts playing the intro screens (which doesn't include the time it takes to recognize whether it's a DVD or BD, which can take equally as long). Once you get past those, and finally get to the menu, moving between the menu options is slow and sluggish. Finally, when you can hit play, get ready to wait even more. By the time the movie finally starts playing, you're more frustrated than excited to watch... ...and then, it happens. The movie freezes on you, and you start hearing the disc spin...and spin...and spin. Hit the forward button to maybe advance past the skip, but nothing happens. Hit the eject button to see if MAYBE there's a scratch on the disc, and nothing happens. Hit the power button to turn it off, and nothing happens. Then, hopefully the plugs in an easily accessible location so you can unplug it. Once that's done, more waiting, while the system initiates and goes through what I'll call it's start-up process (which takes a fair amount of time). All that aside, this player is extremely outdated. There is no ethernet port on this player, so any BD-Live enabled movie (if you're into that) is wasted on this one. Firmware updates have to be done through a USB flash drive, as far as I know; that's how I've always done it. I've never received an update DVD from Sharp (unlike with my Toshiba HD-DVD player, which I was still getting firmware update DVD's WAY after they discontinued production), so I don't know if you can even request one. All in all, avoid this player...it will save you from lots of frustrating moments. Wish I could give 0 Stars   January 13, 2010 Mitchell Lieberman (Long Island, NY) I bought this item when it was $499. I've been waiting months for firmware updates. Sometimes machine gets stuck on standbye and wont start. Sometimes it wont eject. Sometimes it wont play movies. And almost always freezes in the middle of movies. A piece of worthless garbage. Sharps website for firmware updates on mode BD-HP20 is a dead link. They dont answer emails for support. Dont throw your money away. This is the lowest piece of crap I've ever owned. I never should have "DOWNGRADED" to blue ray. Never had these problems on a regular DVD player. HORRIBLE player - will not play most Blue Rays and requires updates ALL THE TIME.   January 7, 2010 FrustratedWithSharp (Wyoming, United States) This is BY FAR the worst blue ray player on the market. BUYER BEWARE. Don't believe me? Google "BDHP20U problems" and see how many forums pop up. Sharp tech support is WORTHLESS. You email, they return your email saying you need to call tech support. You call tech support and you get one of two responses 1) please pay to send your player to an authorized repair shop or 2) we are no longer making updates or servicing these players" Either way, you're out of luck. We ended up sending ours to an authorized repair shop. Came back still broken, having the exact same problems, with a note saying all the Blue Rays they tried (including our "Wanted" which still will not play in the player) worked fine. We stopped buying blue rays and waited almost a year, hoping Sharp would put out another firmware update (update #2 for us) and finally, 18 months after the first update was put out (which did NOT fix our problem with being unable to play Blue Rays) they put update #2 out. Now the player won't play new blue rays (Generation Kill series) OR the older blue rays that it ONCE DID play (Batman Begins). So now we have a useless, expensive, DVD player .... to replace our perfectly functional FREE DVD player. Do not waste your time, hard-earned money, or frustration on this horrible horrible blue ray player. P.s. - these problems (incompatible disc error and rejection of the Blue Ray) are incredibly common. I counted 76 people on the last forum I trudged through looking for answers, that had the EXACT same issue and responses from Sharp Tech Support. I will NEVER buy a Sharp product again. Additionally, it is my understanding that a class action lawsuit is being pursued against Sharp for defrauding customers with this blue ray player. Don't know the details on that, but it tells you the size of the problem. Don't waste your time with this player! Showing reviews 1-5 of 98 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...20Next » Qty 2 In Stock
