A great-value Blu-ray deck that's ideal for the bedroom
Distinctive design ; Strong pictures ; Slick operation
Sparse connectivity ; Limited features ; Needs more catch-up TV apps
Sony’s cracking little entry-level player delivers dazzling Blu-ray pictures and a tasty range of web content, all from a compact, stylish box that’s perfect for the bedroom.

Great Blu-ray but no Wi-Fi
Amazon Instant Video & Netflix ; Great Blu-ray images ; Digital file compatibility ; Small size
Ageing user interface ; Too many apps ; No 3D support ; No WiFi
While apps are welcome, this basic Sony deck doesn't cater for 3D Blu-ray playback and lacks WiFi. However if your router isn't near the telly, the BDP-S1200's excellent Blu-ray images and digital file playback over USB both impress.

certain remote buttons are kinda small and hard to see in dark. dvd's sound cannot be heard when running at 2x speed. it is not a wireless internet connection.

I waited a few months before reviewing but I've never had an issue with this player. I've used it to play CD, DVD, and Blu-rays with zero issues. I haven't hooked it up to the internet so I cannot speak to any of those features. GREAT price, small...

Just a heads up this is an Ethernet wired online access player, I have it connected to a smart TV so I didn't need a wireless Wi-Fi player. It works great user interface is easy and straight forward and easy to update the firmware, picture quality is...
