Pros: Looks Great on my 1080i Sony RPTV
Cons: Analog Sub Out Has Low Level on many DVD's & BluRay Discs

Just bought it on a clearance sale for $268.00 CDN (or US at todays rate of exchange). Very happy with the picture on my ancient 1080i RPTV. Audio approaches DVD-A/SACD quality on many Blu-Ray discs I've tried so far. Bass management is great on most DVD & Blu-Ray titiles but certain ones lack the proper bass output and I need to crank the level on the sub amp.

Onscreen menu very easy to navigate. Can't wait to one day get a proper 1080p projector and see what this thing can do on a 100" widescreen!

Wanted the OPPO OP-83 Blu-Ray and already own a Pioneer DV-578A-S so the Sony BDP-S550 Blu-Ray Disc Player was a good compromise in my mind.

I give it 4.5 starts overall. The bass management is where it loses the half star. Sony, can we get a patch for this?

Pros: Excellent audio and video
Cons: Lacks extras like wi-fi, netflix and pandora streaming

I needed a blu-ray player with multi-channel analog outs because of my old receiver, and being a Sony fanboy went with this player. For basic movie functions, the player is outstanding. The video and lossless audio is just as good as anything I have seen at friends houses or in stores. It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that a lot of people may want, but for watching movies you would be hard pressed at finding a better player.

Pros: 1 gb memory, ethernet connection for bd live and firmware updates.
Cons: A little slow loading.

My fourth Blu-ray player, I recommend this player for cost vs. performance.

using the multianalog connections (8), I can now get all the HD audio codecs through my older receiver, a 7.1 pioneer THX-Select 2--the only caveat that I noticed-----when the BD is recorded in 7.1 DTS-MA and my surround back channels are in the normal setting, I get 7.1 HD surround----if the BD is in 5.1 DTS-MA or DOLBY True or DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS, the surround back channels are not functioning----if I switch the surround back channels from normal setting to BI-AMP, then you get the SBS to work----why is that? Why won't the SBS work in the normal setting?

If you have an older receiver (7.1) and your using the multianalog inputs to decode the HD audio codecs, make sure you switch your SB channel setting to BI-AMP to get the full 7.1 surround from a 5.1 DTS-MA, DOLBY TRUE, DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS Disc.
