Sony BDP-BX18/S185 Blu-ray Player with HDMI cable (Black) Reviews
| 138 of 144 people found the following review helpful  Great device for an unbeatable price, This review is from: Sony BDP-BX18/S185 Blu-ray Player with HDMI cable (Black) (Electronics) When I saw this Sony BDP-BX18 is selling at $74.95 at local costco, I immediately put it in my cart. But then I did the mistake of checking the review of this item on my smart phone and came across so many negative reviews here on Amazon. I was second guessing my decision but finally settled for it as I was buying from Costco. I could always return it if the product came out bad. But boy!! Was I taken aback!! This a wonderful product for its price range and moreover it's from Sony.I don't normally do a review, but so many negative reviews compelled me to put some good words for this product. This product is not as advanced or feature filled as Roku, nor does it claim to be. If your main medium of entertainment is Internet and you're 100% into streaming, go buy a Roku. It's a blu-ray disc player and happens to add some on-line services and does the former job outstandingly and the latter job fairly decently. I was replacing my upstreaming DVD player and the setup... Read more 43 of 43 people found the following review helpful  Same device as the BDP-S185. Please read ALL the reviews., By This review is from: Sony BDP-BX18/S185 Blu-ray Player with HDMI cable (Black) (Electronics) When I saw that the rating of the BDP-BX18 was considerably lower than the BDP-S185 I just had to write this.They're both the SAME PLAYER. The BX18 is simply the S185 packaged for big-box discount stores with an HDMI cable included in the box. That's the only difference. Do a websearch for the BX18 manual and you'll see that it's the same manual for both. Both model numbers are even on the manual's cover page. The Amazon description incorrectly states that the BX18 has two USB ports, one in front and one in back, but that is incorrect. There is only the one USB port in the front, exactly like the S185. The Amazon description also fails to mention the included HDMI cable but it's a nice bonus. If you're considering the two and if the prices are close then you may as well go for the BX18 and get the free cable. I don't know if the bad reviews are due to the prejudice against the big-box stores or what, but before you make your decision, read the...

The instructions on Sony's website are terribly generic, so I've cleaned it up and made it specific for this device.Select Network Settings. Select Wired Setup. Select Custom. Enter the IP Address used by the customer (OR use Auto). Enter either of the following public DNS : 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 (I made the first one the primary, the second one the secondary). So far this seems to have addressed the problem... but it's still shameful that these steps need to be taken just to make one of the selling points of this device work properly!! |
