 Nice While Lasted Jul 12, 2010
I brought this player in June 2009 and the player performed well even though it take quite a time to boot up and finally stopped playing Blu-Ray discs in July 2010 and I am getting a message like Disc Error: Playback feature may not be available on this disc.But it play DVD,CD and other discs ok.Only the problem is with Blu-Ray.I updated the firmware but still no luck,same error.It lasted me almost one year and it has only 1 year warranty.Bad luck for me I guess.When I searched online I saw the same problem is occurring to this player in many sites.
Extremely Slow, even after firmware update Dec 31, 2009
I bought this unit in Dec. (2008), since at the time it was recommended by Consumer Reports. The unit is extremely slow to "warm up" (after being turned on), more time to open the tray, and even more time to think about running and bring video to your screen. This even after I updated the unit's firmware, by downloading/burning the patch to a CD and playing the CD in the unit. While the update seemed to remove most instances where the unit would not recognize/play a rental DVD movie, it made little change in the painfully slow process I've already described.
In addition, this unit does not play MP3s or WMAs, and has no USB ports, which limit it's usefulness.
Definitely pass on this one.
Nice Unit Dec 16, 2009
This came free with the purchase of a Samsung 40" LCDTV. I really can't say about its features, as I basicly just play it, but the picture is beautiful. The upconversion of non HD DVDs gives a picture very close to a blu-ray DVD.

Sylvania NB500SL9 Performance depends on ... Oct 19, 2009
Like the Magnavox, and Insignia brands, the Sylvania NB500SL9 is made by Funai, who incidently makes 50% of the DVD players sold in North America. The thing with Funai is, you can buy the same model number of any of their brands, and depending on when, where, and how it was made, get a different unit. The reason for this is that Funai, like many manufacturers, usually makes the initial offering with the best parts, ie, power supplies, DAC audio, video processors, boards and chipsets, etc.., usually for the first 3 to 4 months of production. Then, as the need to be more competitive in the market comes into play, different (I'm assumming mostly cheaper) parts MAY go in the units. This can also happen if they run out of a certain part, or change suppilers (pretty common actually) in the middle of a production run, or just simply need to make them cheaper. Funai has also gone the other way, and updated some of the newer produced NB500SL9 units, as my unit loads faster than the same (model number) unit a friend of mine has, which he bought 6 months before I did. When you get a good unit, as I apparently did a few months ago on Amazon for $130, they work great and perform well. Other times, you may get one with cheaper, or just slightly different parts, and the result may be less satisfying. There's no way to know for sure, but the mojority of reviewers here have liked this unit, and overall, it is a good value when bought for $180 or less.
 Great Value! Oct 09, 2009
The only con I can say about this product is that it takes about a full minute to load up when powering on. Although, to me, if someone cannot spare a MINUTE of their time for startup, they shouldn't be watching a movie anyway.
Other than that, it is sleek and high-end looking as well as great picture & sound quality. You're not going to find a better value on a Blu-Ray/DVD player.
