 Great entry level player for those on a budget |

I made the choice for this player since it was cheap and I wanted to a bluray player to supplement my Xbox 360. The Sylvania gets the job done. I may not get Bluray LIVE, but I have yet to find the technology developed enough to make it worth my while to invest in. The picture quality is great for the price and lets be honest-- if you're considering this player you probably have an equally entry-level type HDTV as well.
Get this if you're an HD enthusiast on a budget OR a disgruntled 360 owner. Bare bones Bluray at its best! |
Performs flawlessly! Also has coax dig. audio, many don't

| No real need for the expensive Blu Rays, especially if all you want is something that PLAYS BLU RAY DISKS. It would take a lot of HD download movies to cover the extra $200 the big ones cost. I would rate this even with the Samsung 1500 that I have in my home 7.1 theater, where I used the optical audio out to connect to my Denon 3800 receiver. In my weekend place I have a good Vizio 42" with HDMI, but I'm using my old Denon 5700 5.1 that is a real pain to program (I could only get it to recognize digital audio if I use the COAX inputs), so the Sylvania was one of the few cheaper Blu Rays with a COAX audio out that didn't have black marks against it in consumer reviews. I would definitely recommend! |
awesome bd player

I have never heard of Sylvania prior to buying this Blu-Ray Player (and I would have not purchased it had it not come free with the purchase of a Samsung LCD tv), but after setting this baby up, I could not give it anything less than 5 stars!
The player itself is easy as macaroni to set up (trust me, you will not need the manual for directions!) and after about 2 minutes, your home theater is good to go!
I played Planet Earth via Blu Ray as well as 2001: Space Odyssey; these movies looked flawless in 1080p. This player is very easy to operate and the upconversion of regular DVD's look amazing as well! To the untrained eye, one may not be able to tell the difference, but if you are a visual techie of any kind, the Blu-Ray v.s. DVD PQ debate is as much a thing of the past as the actual DVD's themselves: Blu-Ray definitely is the way to go! Do your HDTV a big favor and buddy it up with a reliable Blu-ray Player. The Sylvania NB 530 SLX will not disappoint!
As a few other reviews here have mentioned, the load times can sometimes take a while (I've had waits of up to 20 seconds before the player itself powers up and functions). When I hit the power button, the Sylvania NB530SLX will greet me with a creepy "Hello" text on the front panel, but during those 10-20 seconds that it is powering up, the player simply will not respond to any button you press. Even the OPEN/CLOSE button will not even affect its booting. To some, this may be a huge flaw because my understanding is that a PS3 or another expensive BD player can all read Blu-ray movies with speed and ease. But to aspiring Shaolin monks with the patience and tolerance of a banana slug such as myself, 20-30 seconds is something I can easily handle!
Take your pick with the many offerings available online, but the Sylvania is a great buy for the relatively inexpensive price of $128.60 (price as of 9/15)! |
Great basic blu-ray player

I got this for my bedroom TV, so I can watch all of my blu-ray movies upstairs as well as on my home theater setup. I didn't need anything with bells and whistles, just something to do basic playback. And that's exactly what this player does.
It does have some drawbacks. One nitpick is that when you have the display set to show the amount of time left in a chapter/disc, as opposed to the time elapsed, the front display doesn't show a minus in front to indicate that (although it does show the amount of time left). Higher priced players typically do that. It's minor, I know, but it's something I wish it had. Also, the remote isn't particularly well designed. It works, it's just too big and clunky. The player itself isn't all that aesthetically pleasing, either.
This player is perfect for someone who just wants to put in a disc and press play.
If this is for a higher-end setup, I would spend a little more. I have a Sony BDP-S350 for my home theater and like it more than this, but it costs more.
I give it five stars because, if you're looking for the cheapest solution to playing blu-ray, this is a five star product. It's not five stars when you take the low price out of the equation. |
Great Purchase!

I purchased this player for the $89.99 deal and I'm sure glad I did! It arrived today, brought it home and had it connected to my HDTV in two seconds via HDMI. Put in a regular DVD just received from from Netflix, "The Final Destination," and it played perfectly with a wonderful picture.
I must admit, I was skeptical about the difference upscaling could make...now I'm a believer! Can't wait to try a Blu-Ray disc now. The contrast is amazing. The unit itself is sleek and quite unobtrusive; also, it has no annoying light or clock that stays on when the unit is off.
As stated by other reviewers, it *does* take a little time to load discs, but that's quite minor. I played around with the Pause and Stop buttons; it immediately starts up from Pause when the Play button is depressed, and if you turn off the player, it will give you the option of starting the movie where it left off, or going back to the menu.
All in all, I'm very happy with this player and I'm looking forward to many happy viewing hours! Buy it!!! |
