Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I stupidly decided to ignore some of the warnings from the others that have purchased this "unit". I have had good luck with Sony over the years and I chose to roll the dice. Well, everything that was reported on other reviews has happened on the unit I received today. First when booting it said there was an update - it went through the update process without issue and eventually it came up to the menu screen (non DVD inserted yet). I started to review the configurations to make sure it was setup correctly for my home theater. During my default menu navigation I noticed the lower half to lower third of the screen flashed white a few times. Next the unit rebooted and came back to the menu screen and it follows this sequence every couple of minutes. I played some Youtube videos and they seemed to play ok however when I inserted a Blu Ray and began to watch my film the unit stopped and rebooted and after 10 seconds or so came right back to where it was on the DVD. This repeated a couple more times and then it finally just froze and went black and by the looks of the display on my Stereo Receiver it simply stopped putting out an audio or video signal. I am going to return this pronto and choose something that works. Goodbye Sony, will miss the old days with you.
