Great picture, huge price

Strengths: HD quality DVD....finally!
Weaknesses: Expensive! Changed IR code set from nearly every other Sony DVD. HDMI did not want to work with some tv's. Large footprint.
Waited a long time after the supposed release date to get one of these DVD players. Picture is phenomenal, even on a non-1080P HD set. Couldn't get it to display 1080P on a Fujitsu monitor I have, had to switch to a component connection. In it's final resting place (my big Sony LCD) it connected with no fanfare. I had to reconfigure other items as the footprint on this player was much larger than the one it replaced. I have a Universal MX-350 remote that was already set for a Sony DVD player and thought it was going to be almost a direct setup for this player. I quickly found out that BD has it's own unique codeset and I had to do some searching for discreet on and off commands for it. Can't wait for the price to drop 75% so I can buy for other TVs in the house!
