This product was given to me April 2017 as a Retirement Gift. The sound was incredible, and the picture was great up until April 2019 when it stopped working. Since the Player would still connect to the speakers, I am now using it as a stereo receiver; the speakers still sound great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Barlester, We value your opinion and we would like to apologize if our product did not meet your expectations. In relation to the picture issue, we recommend visiting our service website at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US to help us locate a servicer near you.
Love this system. Sound is wonderful, and the rear speakers are wireless, meaning that there is no wire from the main unit to the rear of the room. In the back, there is a little amp which receives the signal from the main unit and then is attached with wires to the 2 rear speakers. The only way to go if can't have wires running from the front to the back of your room. Unfortunately it is no longer available. There is no replacement unit, and no 4K. SAD.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
