Love the size of this Blu Ray Player, it's not massive, prefect for me as I don't have a lot of space. Although a lot of Blu Ray Player in the market can play DVDs at the same time. Not all can play Multi Region like this one. Picture is really clear, love it :)

Clearly a good Blu-ray player! Very nice picture.

Got this unit as a replacement from Sony after the BDP-S3500 player I purchased two months earlier failed. This one is just like the 3500 except it has 3D capability and, instead of working for two months, it worked for only TWO WEEKS before developing the same uncorrectable problem that 3500 had.

Nothing

It FAILED after TWO WEEKS

The Sony BDP-S5500 Blu-Ray player combines the best of the S3500 and S4500 models, providing 3D Blu-Ray playback and excellent connectivity, with Wi-Fi and Smart TV functions. It's a very versatile player and highly recommended.

This player goes far beyond what I was expecting from a blue ray player. Easy to set up and fun to play with. I have played with the apps it has more than I've played the blue ray player. Great buy

Easy set up; Many apps; Very reasonably priced; Picture is very clear; Remote was very responsive

None as of now

Worked for a year and a half of VERY light use. 3D, blurays, DVDs worked fine prior to breakdown - was used maybe once or twice a quarter. Now it doesn't recognize disks of any format. Unplugged and changed outlet, confirmed firmware is latest, reset to default - still nothing.

"Tiny box that offers a lot of options! Good Blu Ray player. just a couple of niggles. No chapter or time display so you can pause or stop to make a cuppa, Remote too focussed on net usage I have a Mac an iPad, iPhone. Tried it out both wired and wirelessly too slow.

Ease to use; Quiet; Value for money

Despite its basic exterior, the Sony BDP-S5500 benefits from premium features like 3D conversion. It has the flexibility and specifications shared by top 3D Blu-ray players.

The BDP-S5500 offers 2D to 3D conversion

The Blu-ray player has a middling boot time

Plastic, light and a little bit flimsy. That is probably the most accurate description of the build quality and design.

Excellent Blu-ray & DVD playback; Good selection of apps including Amazon and Netflix; Built-in WiFi; Good quality sound

Build Quality is average at best

The BDP-S5500 is Sony's latest mid-range Blu-ray player. It's part of a five-strong line-up that also includes the top-end BDP-S6500 (￡149) and three cheaper models, the BDP-S4500 (￡89), BDP-S3500 (￡89) and entry-level BDP-S1500 (￡75).
