Works well after software update.
bdps5500 08 August 2015 by Pickyuser (USA)
The product works very well but only after updating the software online. It would be good to sell the product with current software or have the startup do the upgrade automatically. This all requires access to the internet.

I bought the BDPS5500 5-7 years ago and have been extremely pleased and satisfied with it all this time. Just the fact that's all.

This thing is built like a tank !!!
bdps5500 17 August 2020 by TheTechBuilder (USA)
I Purchased one of these DVD players and after a year nothing else in the market was as good so I bought another one for my bedroom and it is rocksolid. Most other brands are built mostly of plastic and are pretty flimsy and don’t stand up to heavy duty DVD use. Are use this particular unit which is my second unit in the bedroom to play DVDs and I also use it to stream online content via Amazon Netflix and HBO go

買錯3D 機,應該買4K 機 。
BDP-S5500 21 December 2018 by 曹 先生 ()
不予置評⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ 功能太少,同普通藍碟一樣,只多了3D 和 無線接上網。同電視功能同疊,多此一舉。。

Worst piece of electronics I've ever seen
BDP-S5500 17 October 2018 by NoLongerCustomer (USA)
Reboots itself while using apps (e.g., Netflix) and DVD player often. Fails to read discs intermittently... both while playing and sometimes refusing to acknowledge that there is a disk in it at all. Now it won't power on at all.

BDP-S5500 16 June 2018 by CY Lai ()
比其他牌子同等級數價錢貴好多,如果遙控可以和其他sony產品共用就好,因為我現在電視和soundbar都是sony,但遙控要分開,不太方便。

Just plain lousy
BDP-S5500 26 April 2018 by Littlerob (USA)
Pros: cheap price, plays hd audio and mkv video files through USB port Cons: streaming content stutters and just freezes, very few of the apps are worth watching. Even when wired to my router d/l speeds only reach 25 Mps, while my PS3, smart tv, and Apple TV reach speeds of up to 75 Mps. Every time it starts it reports a network error - even though there is none. I must have got a lemon because the reviews of this product seem very positive. In the review fields you are asked if you would recommend Sony to a friend - yes I would recommend decent Sony products to a friend, just not this product.

Streaming apps constantly freeze
BDP-S5500 30 January 2018 by NotHappy2018 (USA)
Blu ray player is barely over a year old and of course out of warranty. Netflix constantly freezes and requires unit to be unplugged from power to unfreeze. The unit has up to date firmware. I've tried the factory reset and still does same thing. Bottom line is these are junk! Mine is going in the trash.

BDP-S5500 27 August 2017 (USA)
The Plex App is very old and does not show all the features from Plex, such as external streaming channels. It only shows local videos, photos and music. I've updated the unit several times, but there is not an update for this app.

Persistently crashes
BDP-S5500 22 June 2017 by Xphilemike (USA)
I do not know how Sony could get away with making a product like this. Though the Blu-ray player part of it has no problems the apps are constantly crashing. I don't think that I go more than two uses without some kind of crash that I have to unplug it and plug it back in. When I use the Netflix app I get regular freezes. And it's not because it's buffering. It just freezes. The Amazon app is always buggy! I just tried to crackle app and it doesn't work either

Very Disappointed!!
bdps5500 08 January 2017 by Steve1229 (USA)
I bought this thinking SONY would have great products for streaming becuase of PlayStation technology. The streaming quality has always been slow and frustrating with the buffering wheel of death stuck at 25% until i restart. I use my Roku stick that has no problem. When i tried to watch DVDs it doesn't recognize or claims the DVD is faulty when all DVDs can be read in any other player i have. This is waste of money.

Average from my experiences with BRP
bdps5500 08 October 2016 by Calhounas (USA)
When I first purchase it, I thought "Great a Sony product, I shouldn't have to replace this anytime soon!" Well although the BRP works well and picture quality is excellent, my issues seem to be with the Apps. I bought this for my bedroom, after two Toshiba's crashed in two years. I have a PS3 & Sony 5.1 SS and have never had a problem. But this unit just keeps locking up on Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Web browser. I think its a memory problem. I either have to reset the entire unit (3 times in less than a year) or go through all of my apps and erase history. That doesn't work quite as well, but it is easier than having to input all the information again. I came on this site today to get support to remove the apps I never use and prevent it from adding new ones on updates. Wish me luck!

The product produces good pictures and when controlled by the provided controller works well. I would like to put this on my home network and control the product from my iPhone using an app (as I do with my Sony TV). I would like a Sony app for iPhone to control the unit.

Sony S5500 blu-ray player
BDP-S5500 01 August 2016 by DrReed (United Kingdom)
I bought this product about 2 months ago. It's a great bit of kit which many great features! Wireless connection to broadband and USB compatibility, plays every type of disc I need and at a great price! One down side is the lack of connection on the back!! No optical link etc! Just one hdmi socket and if you lose or break the remote it's pretty much useless unless you have a spare or buy another one!

Smart blu-Ray player
BDP-S5500 22 February 2016 by Trekkiemo (United Kingdom)
I had read a review on this blu-Ray player and was expecting the size to be small and was not surprised that it was small but Sony has packed a lot into this player and as this is my first Sony and was chosen over my usual brand, Panasonic, as it had wifi I expected it to be good and was happy my purchase. Good value for a Smart blu-Ray player packed with more than others in this price class

So many features packed into a unit with a very tiny footprint. Easy to use, modestly priced and picture quality is fantastic. In additon to playing Blu Rays it's given new life to old DVD's and turned my 'dumb' TV into a 'smart' one.
