1 out of 5 stars Sometimes slow, stutters, and dies mysteriously   August 30, 2008
I bought my BDHP20U in Feb 2008 and it worked OK, if almost glacially slow (minutes to power on, roughly a minute just to open the [empty] tray) until July when, following one of Sharp's software updates (two previous worked great) the machine would no longer power on. Sharp apparently has quite a bit of experience with this kind of thing (not necessarily comforting) and quickly emailed me a link to a FedEx page with shipping labels -- unfortunately they sent it on Wednesday evening (while I was out), and it expired at midnight /the same day/! So it ended up taking TWO WEEKS to explain that I needed replacement shipping labels. Then things went quickly, but they shiped it back to the wrong address and it took three extra days to get it from FedEx.

After all that fun, it worked fine for a few weeks, then one night after watching a movie, it powered down when I asked it to eject the disc I'd just viewed. And it won't power on again. I'm not looking forward to repeating the repair cycle again, especially since it now seems likely I will be doing this every month from now on (if not more often).

It is a good thing that the price on this is coming down, because it certainly isn't worth the $362.49 it cost when I bought it. In fact, I expect to buy another BluRay player (from anyone but Sharp) as soon as I can afford one.



2 out of 5 stars Pass if you are burning your own disks   August 27, 2008
The player as a player for movies is very good. However, if you are making your own videos and burning them to BD-R disks, this system does not play. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to get disks to play without any luck. I have the latest firmware and still no luck.




5 out of 5 stars Amazing Player!   July 8, 2008
After reading some slightly negative reviews, I think it will be unfair if I don't write mine.

I have owned my Sharp for almost 6 months now. Have run the newest BDs available, just yesterday I watched 'vantage point', awesome picture and sound. Loading is pretty fast too, I would say less than 40 secs. Have never faced a single problem whatsoever. Sharp just posted a new firmware but I won't load it unless I see any probs with my existing one. I did play 'Jumper' and I did not have any problem.

Call me lucky or whatever, I would blindly go for another Sharp BD player if I had to make a decision.






5 out of 5 stars Sharp Aquos trumps Samsung P1500   June 30, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Returned Samsung P1500 for Sharp Aquos HP20U. OMG - what a difference. Biggest problems with P1500: 1 - No second digital audio source. Already using Optical for TV digital sound and amp only has one, but Sharp had a Coax Digital that matched up perfectly (like my upconvert had done),
2 - Sharp plays DVD+R, +RW -- Samsung does not (I needed this function),
3 - Sharp remote is much better designed, easier to read and use,
4 - Sharp has much better on-screen menus

Output quality is similar, so far. First night out Samsung hung twice and had to be restarted. Load times seem similar, too, but Sharp can be set to make them ever faster.



5 out of 5 stars Great player! Very pleased!   June 24, 2008
I am very pleased with the performance of this unit. I especially like the ability to download firmware updates from the Sharp website to my thumb drive and upload them directly to the player. Other manufacturers have to send disks out to you with the updates which is time consuming and, as I understand it, you have to request the updates. They are not automatic. Not so with Sharp. No problems whatsoever and I've had the unit 3 months.
