   Pioneer’s updates may break your machine
   I have a pioneer Blu Ray player. It is now 1year 2 moths old and out of warranty. I updated the firmware to watch Avatar and now the machine will not work. I am told by Pioneer support that this is a common problem and can only be fixed by sending the machine back to have the firmware reinstalled by Pioneer. The cost is a minimum of $70 evaluation plus shipping. I cannot recommend this product that is at risk of being broken each time firm ware is updated.

   works great…for what i use it for…
   I have this player on a tube TV…so in not sure of the visual performance…I’m using the fibre optic output and the sound is amazing! Great buy! Plays scratched discs but not burnt discs. Setup was a little difficult but you have a lot of options for custom set up. And in my opinion…since its pioneer…it will last forever!

   Better then My other BD player
   I bought this player to replace my new Magnavox BD player my grand daughter broke. This one has a better picture and much nicer and user friendly menu…setup was a breeze. It is slighty slower loading then the Mag but we buy these for picture quality…right? I did have a problem with the remote….I programed the product code for my TV into the remote but it’s not fully functional…it will turn the TV on/off and control the volume and the channel up/down but it will not select input so I still have to use the TV remote (remember this is only for my TV). I also had a problem with the vendor,Electronics expo, but if you would like to read their,one star review,I suggest you check them out here on this site as they are one of Amazon’s 3rd party sellers.

   Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray Disc Player Excellent Product
   Excellent product, makes even the image on a regular DVD brighter and sharper. The remote is very easy to operate. The pause function is superb. The image looks as clear as a still shot. Even the sound that is liked to the surround system is sharper. Many times we have heard a knock or a whisper and thought there was someone actually behind us. It was not difficult to set up. Looked at many manufactures before deciding on the Pioneer BDP-120 1080P Blu-ray Disc Player. We choose the right product.

   PIONEER… is the best.
   I read ALL the other reviews and came to my own conclusion… I just wanted Pioneer I’ve been using it a lot lately. Terminator Salvation; The Dark Knight; T2; Superman, The Last Starfighter… all AMA-ZA-ZING in blu-ray!

   The player itself is a no-brainer. Getting everything set-up is easy. The tray does NOT rattle when it opens… it opens just fine The buttons are NOT flimsy… they are buttons and the lighting is JUST fine… I can read everything easily. The conroller could use a zoom button… but that’s it, otherwise it’s easy to use and works automatically on your TV. Some blu-ray’s start right up, but like most players… it takes a moment my T2 blu-ray starts up as fast as my regular DVD’s… ssshhhhhhhhhhh… it’s a secret So aall-in-all… this Pioneer blu-ray player is awesome!

   Excellent price; Good performance after firmware update
   I bought this as the BDP-121, a player identical to the 120, sold in Canada and in the US by warehouse stores, for $150 from CompUSA.com. The 121 does not come with a 1 GB flash drive. Until the 11/24/09 Pioneer firmware update the 120/121 refused to play Disney’s Snow White BD, but now it does. However I am still having problems accessing Disney’s BD Live on the player although I have accessed Warner, Paramount and Sony BD-Live. (Each requires separate registration, by the way.) This could be a Disney problem. To me there is little to complain about with the 120/121. The remote is 50% longer than most, but everything functions as it should. The BDP-120 sold here includes a 1GB flash memory stick which is required for BD-Live. If you need to update firmware, look here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/Blu-rayDisc+DVD/PioneerBlu-rayDiscPlayers/ci.BDP-120.Kuro?tab=F

    A nice player I am pleased with
    This B-R player has been a good purchase. Do make sure to change the setting to 1080 if you have an HD TV. Out of the box it is set to 480i for standard TV resolution. Very easy to go into the menus and change it right away. Makes standard DVDs look better too. Sonically, I don’t know how good it sounds because my high-end tower speakers are put away at the moment because of a toddler in the house. I’m just using some small bookshelf speakers for the time being. I could evaluate it better if I was using the towers. The menus are easy to navigate and Blu-rays look great. I would buy this player again without hesitation.

    Consider another Player
    I purchased this to go along with my Pioneer receiver and am disappointed as I have to use both remotes for the Stereo and the Blu ray player.
    
    The display is very cheesey and hard to read and the buttons on the Blu ray player are hidden and Hard to locate.
    
    I wish now that I would have pruchased another brand. It does have a great picture and sound quality.

    Mediocre now, but used to be Slow, Quirky, Didn’t like DVDs
    I purchased this unit because I have a Pioneer receiver and wanted to share the remote. I bought my unit in October 2009. This unit was slow, failed to play many DVDs, and wouldn’t play sound about half the time. I cannot understand how Pioneer messed this unit up so badly – it should never have hit the streets in this condition.

    Several months and three firmware updates later (February 2010), some of these complaints have been addressed. When it works, the unit is now about as fast as I’d expect. It now behaves more like an appliance, and less like a sluggish failure-prone computer that happens to have a blu-ray drive connected to it.

    However, we continue to find examples of blu-ray disks that cause the unit to crash. While I’m relieved that this unit has been salvaged as a DVD player, I’m still angry that they released it in such poor condition, and truly disappointed that after three firmware updates it still fails on commonplace blu-ray movies.

    With a modern firmware and on a DVD or working blu-ray disk, the unit responds reasonably. I have only used the HDMI output, so the sound and video quality is what you would expect (i.e. excellent, since it’s an all-digital path until it hits your television and speaker system).

    Mostly Cruddy & Slow
    I’m comparing this to the PS3s Blue Ray feature as well which I’m use to… This unit is very anoying because it is soooo slow. Bringing up menus, switching video resolutions, loading & ejecting, even turning it off and on takes for dang ever. When you have to sit through preview trailers rather than trying to ff or get to main menu it won’t be long before you start pulling your hair out. If you accidently eject, might as well go pop some pop corn before you get your movie back to where you were watching it. Resolution don’t set after confirm, have to do a display reset while stopped. USB flash drive memory expansion out the back like a big ugly sore thumb that catches on everything, which it seems to have to have as told “to speed it up” and its still slower than a 1 legged turtle.. ..total crud… I’d return it or throw it out a window if it were mine. Makes me glad I have a PS3 to play my Blue Rays & DVDs.

    Only positive was once I got the resolution set finally, it did seem to look pretty decent in HDMI 1080i while playing.

    Good intro player
    Upon opening the box I saw the normal plastic bag of cables (no HDMI Cable) and remote batteries, along with a 1 gig Sandisk USB thumb drive. On the other side of the box was the remote (very long) that could have been down sized for the limited amount of buttons used to operate. The unit is very lightweight (which I don’t hold against it) as many units are these days. The shiny black face (plastic) looks good and matches with the rest of my gear. The front panel lights are not overly bright and go without notice during viewing in dark rooms.

    Setup was straight forward (connection) HDMI, USB in rear and RJ45 via my squeezebox. Powering up is quick (less than 30 sec), and the menu comes up on first time startup. The menu setup is a breeze and and easy to navigate.

    I watched Eagle Eye first and was not all that impressed with the PQ, It was a bit clearer,(Rosario Dawson skin is not as smooth as we may think) but not eye catching, but it did give the look of film. The 2nd flick I put in was Hancock (Hi Def Master) and it was much better PQ very crisp and detailed It reminded me when I went to the Irvine Spectrum (Digital Theater) and saw SW-AOTC.

    To compare to my DV 45A I would say they are about even in PQ with the edge going to the Blu Ray. The DV 45A is connected via component cables and sound via toslink. Both units are routed through my Pioneer VSX 81TXs and outputted via HDMI to the new Vizio. The HDMI connection does handle the sound a little better in the area of separation of the channels. I will have to reserve my full opinion until I purchase a blu ray movie and really see how this new format shines. From the samples clips on the Hancock DVD it should be worlds apart.

    Worst pioneer ever bought-couldnt return fast enough
    Slowest piece of crap since my old 386 computer. The only thing the supposed “quick start option” does is consume power year around as it requires a low power standy power on to “work”. It takes about 15 seconds just to turn this thing off. And, if you actually want to play something on it, you better have a lot of time to kill. If you hit pause, be prepared to wait several seconds for it to actually pause the disc. If you want to skip to a different chapter you need to punch at least 6 buttons-FUNCTION, STEP DOWN, ENTER, CHAPTER NUMBER, ENTER, FUNCTION. This thing makes blurays look like dinosaurs compared to DVD.

    Good player, many missed opportunities
    I purchased this player some days ago, while I was upgrading my TV to HD. I chose the BDP-120 for a specific reason: region codes. The consumer-hostile atrocity that some studios force on their customers hits people outside of the US (US = region 1) especially hard. My DVD collectio (almost exclusively region 1) is large, and I live in Switzerland (= region 2). The BDP-120 comes with a code-free DVD player, but *does* enforce regions on the BD. That way, I am able to retain my investment in DVD. NOTE: Make sure your version of the player has the same code-free capability, as I hear that in some countries they do not!

    Unpacking
    
    I received my player inside a box that also contained a hefty manual, a remote, 2 AA batteries for the remote, a 1GB USB stick (for firmware updates), an audio-, power-, and video cable. Neither Network (ethernet) not HDMI cable were included in the box (the omission of an HDMI cable is disappointing).

    Exterior & Design
    
    The player’s outside is made from black plastic which does have a rather cheap feel to it. Unfortunately (it took me two minutes to find out), the shiny plastic parts scratche easily, so handle it with extra care when you slot the player into it’s place. Buttons (power, play, etc.) are realized as small horizontal slats inside a horizontal recess, and feel flimsy (for comparison, my Yamaha amp that is roughly in the same price category has all buttons made from metal). The DVD tray is not dampened and gives off a rather cheap grinding sound when extending or retracting. When spinning, the disc is nearly inaudible, which is a great accomplishment, somewhat marred by the sound of what appears to be a fan that starts running inside the player when it gets warm.

    Slightly annoying is the fact that the player’s width is 42 cm (16.53 inch) instead of the standard 43.5 cm (17 inch). If all your components are from Pioneer that may not be an issue. Since mine are not, the mis-fit is slightly noticeable on top of the Yamaha amp. The silliest, most painfully obvious and plain stupid design flaw, however, is the USB port. Instead of providing an easy access for USB on the front (perhaps behind a panel), the designers chose to put the connector on the back. Yes, on the back, where you’ll have next to no access. Well, perhaps an extension cord could help? Maybe — but the manual states clearly: “WARNING: DO NOT USE AN USB EXTENSION CORD”. Now this is really, really bad design. Especially in light of the fact that any firmware update is facilitated by USB only (even if you have the player connected to the net). This design misstep is somewhat lessened by another seriously wrong design decision: even though the player provides a USB connector, you cannot play content from that port. Stone-age consumer appliance design. This forces you to burn any image (only JPEG supported) or video to disc, and then put the disc in the player (if you think network streaming via network port: well, not with this player).

    The player is adorned with a tiny alphanumeric status LCD and a multitude of colorful LEDs. The LCD is backlit by a garish white light that is plain ugly. Pioneer could have done much better, as I have seen better-looking LCDs on *Thermometers*. Also, while some LED do carry a label (e.g. ‘Power’, others light up sometimes, even flash, and then, after a short while, turn off mysteriously. What exactly they are for will forever remain a mystery (although not one I’d be inclined to spend time on resolving). All in all I feel that very little thought has gone into this player’s exterior design. In a nutshell, it’s a black box with a number of randomly placed flashing LEDs. Not impressive at all.

    The remote is rather large, deep black, and rests comfortable in the palm of even the largest of hands. The buttons feel a bit rubbery, and there is no audible or tactile feedback one a button engages. However, I would not have expected this from a remote for a device in this price range, and anyway, I’m using a universal remote (the Logitech Harmony 1000). Button labels are clear, but could have used a bit more contrast (on my remote they are colored in a yellowish off-white). Button lay-out is OK, centered around a mock-wheel (four directions and a central enter button). The remote also sports some buttons for controlling a TV, which I find somewhat silly, as they won’t help you unless you have a pioneer TV, and if you do, that one comes with buttons for controlling your pioneer BD player). It uses standard AA batteries.

    Handling
    
    Not having used a BlueRay player before I was shocked by how long it takes a player to load a single BD. At first I though that the device was defective, but when I looked at other players I saw first hand that the BDP-120 is one of the quicker devices. Still, from turning on the unit over loading a BD and then gaining access to a menu this device averages at about 1.5 minutes (for comparison: my DVD player, a $19 no-label but admirably performing device takes all of 20 seconds from power-up to menu selection — and that includes loading a disc). I’m not sure what the ‘Quickstart’ feature means in this regard – I’d hate to have a player that takes even longer to start up. Also somewhat disconcerting is the fact that the unit takes about 30 seconds to one minute to power down (and beware — simply pulling the plug will encur an additional startup minute the next time you switch it on).

    The buttons on the player itself border on being unusable (they are too flimsy, and provide only the basic pause/play/skip/open functionality). With the remote the player, once started up, responds nicely, but still a far cry from instantaneously (as you are used from a DVD). The on-screen displays and messages from the player are rough, ugly, and look like something straight from the debugger the engineeres used, interspersed with some artwork that appears to be lifted from Apple and WinAmp. Still, they work, and that’s what they are there for. Switching from and to different modes is easy enough, and the organization of most menus is logical and intuitive.

    Although the player supports code free DVD (even though the (german) manual clearly states otherwise, which is disconcerting at best), it crashes regularly when you try to switch from a region 1 (US) DVD to a region 2 (Europe) BD, requiring me to pull the plug, and then wait through a prolonged power-up cycle. This adds insult to the injury of region codes. But at least the player supports my region 1 DVDs (but not region 1 BD).

    Features / Image Quality
    
    To me, this is the most important aspect, and the one that saves this player. For the price, the player provides excellent image quality from both BR and DVD over the HDMI port to your HD TV. It will up-scale DVD content, which was to me an unexpected boon. Upscaling a DVD produces great results on my TV (1028p). Up-scaled content is only delivered via the HDMI connector, not via the additional composite video and video sources available at the back of the player. The provided composite video signal is OK, perhaps slightly on the weak side. As mentioned before, the analog connectors (composite video) do not provide upscaled content, but do allow the BR to be played to non-HD devices. However, BR’s are nearly indistinguishable from their lesser DVD brethren on analog source (I have the BD and DVD versions of ‘Planet Earth), while on HD the difference is plain to see (even though the DVD version gets significantly boosted by the up-scaling).

    The player also sports a network port (Ethernet, 100 Base-T). Unfortunately, this network port cannot be used to remote-control the player (as I had hoped). It is primarily there to stream content to the player from the internet (but not your PC). 100 MBit is somewhat on the weak side for this purpose, and accordingly, streaming a HD source to the player can cause stutters (not to mention that you better had invested in a switch or smart hub, or the whole subnet will drop from Gigabit to 100 MBit). Also (at least at my player’s firmware level) the network port cannot be used to automatically download firmware updates. For this you use the (included, nice touch!) USB memory stick, onto which you must download the firmware from your PC. Furthermore, many obvious advantages that a network-enabled player could have are not implemented. As I mentioned above, you can’t control the player via network, nor can you stream content from your PC to it. You can’t query it’s status (disk/track playing or status), nor does it automatically load a CD’s album and track names from CDDB. Pioneer has a lot to learn in this regard. I currently regard the network feature as severely lacking.

    BD-Live… well, I guess it’s just me, but for some reason this feature holds little interest for me. It just feels wrong — like a “bolted-on afterthought”. Perhaps I just havn’t yet found the BD with real good BD-Live links. For now, all I found was wafer-thin content and a ton of advertising. Oh – and you must have the memory stick inserted when you use that feature. Nope, there simply is no real added value for me in this.

    The player does support the most common disk formats (CD, CDRW, Photo-CD, etc.) but supports a surprisingly limited amount of file formats: Images are limited to JPEG (with a stupid naming scheme to boot), and video files limited to the standard BD set (i.e. no Ogg, QuickTime etc). It does support AVCH, though (but that is no surprise as it is part of the newer BD standard).

    If you have a KURO (a Pioneer brand) TV, the player offers a ‘KURO-Link’. Supposedly, this feature will allow the player and TV to talk to each other and allow both to select the best (or preferred) setting for each source. I do have a KURO TV (a plasma), but so far have not found any significant advantages. This may be related to the fact that my Plasma has a myriad of different settings, which the BD player knows nothing about. I therefore find myself often re-configuring the TV manually for a specific source (in other words: this feature is badly executed in the player).

    Summary
    
    Although I am satisfied with the player’s most important feature (image quality), there are many details that unnecessarily diminish this product: cheap exterior finish (Pioneer should have gone the extra mile and add more polish) with a front design bordering on ugly. It is slightly noisy when it gets warm. The omission of an HDMI and ethernet cable in the package is downright cheap. The non-standard width is annoying. Network integration is terrible, and too slow. Position of USB connector is downright stupid. No support for USB-provided media (Memory sticks or hard drives)

    On the upside: Good image quality and up-scaling of DVD does add a terrific advantage if you have a HDTV. Performance is good compared to other, even more sluggish players. Supports all popular disk formats. Integration with other Pioneer devices (KURO line).

    If you are looking for solid BD/DVD performance and do not care for most of the other niceties (USB playback, solid network integration), you should definitely look at this player.

    I don’t know what the negative feedback guy is talking about, but this player is awesome. The features are incredible. My older dvds look alot better as well. The picture and sound quality this thing pumps out is superior to any other that I’ve heard or seen before.[...]

    Cheap and easy
    I agree with Andrew. I purchased it on GoldBox at a great price and with my gift certificates, it was very cheap indeed. I am one of those who are too busy to read every single word in the manual so I went directly to the instructions on installing it. It was simple to read and easy to install. Took me longer to move my TV stand than hooking it up to the TV. The only drawback, it came with RCA cable but not the HDMI. When the HDMI cables are selling at $.37 cents at Amazon, why can’t Pioneer put one of the cheap HDMI cables in the box. The remote was not complicated that installation process was fast and easy. If you want cheap, easy to install and have the average expectations on picture clarity and sound, this is the unit for you.

    Great Player and it’s a Pioneer
    This is my first stand-alone player and it’s hard not to compare it with the PS3. I love my PS3 because it does everything. Been wanting to buy a standalone player for a while and can’t seem to agree on any one particular brand or model, mostly due to cost. Lately price has been dropping below $200. Was leaning toward the Samsung P1500, best features and overall price until Amazon had the Pioneer on sale. Pioneer only makes high end electronics. I am overall very satisfy with this unit. Load time on this unit depends on the disc. First time buyer, be aware that blu-ray players loads a lot slower than DVD players. It can take up to a minute or more to load a disc (PS3 loads within 15 seconds). This is consider fast compare to previous generation that sometimes take up to three minutes. Menu are simple and user friendly. Remote control is well made, a little too big. Unit is simple and elegant. Has all the necessary onboard sound decoders. I think this is a good buy for a mid level player. Only complaint is the noise it generates (grinding) when loading or searching of the disc. Curious if other players make the same noise?

    what’s with the first bad reviewer?
    Just got this from gold box for $169.
    
    Therefore it’s cheap compare to other unit of same level
    
    I have the ps3 and this pioneer is not much slower on start up.
    
    As for menu..just press menu and easily set to 720p or 1080p
    
    and auto and HDMI or other output.
    
    Almost all setup are yes/no question type. how hard can it be?
    
    Picture and sound quality is on par with the ps3.
    
    The unit is thin compare to first gen blue ray machine and remote looks clear.
    
    The Disc tray is definately not loose.
    
    It’s normal like PC DVD-roms from samsungs or LG or sony etc..
    
    you can’t compare this to slot load ps3 stle when you have a tray.
    
    you put a disc in and press a button to get it in…what do you do to
    
    “manipulated” the tray? The default setup was to 480i because for those people that don’t have a HDTV..
    
    however, I hook it up to my sony receiver and sony HDTV and it comes right up through HDMI.
    
    A menu is a menu… already has 4 languange and explain to you how to setup all kind of different audio , video setup plus menu settings.
    
    what else do you want?
    
    This is a budget model. it’s low price.
    
    if you want more function, pay extra 160 to get the one up model!

    Thinly re-badged sharp at twice the price
    My initial thoughts are this is a Sharp re-badge. Although it is an attractive player, build quality appears poor. The tray rattles when opened and the front panel buttons feel thin and plasticy and like they might break if used frequently. The tray is loose and can be manipulated. The front facade on the tray is very loose and actually feels like it might fall off. Once again, it is an attractive player, but the led chapter readout is pure sharp. it is a dark purple with white lettering. It says BYE when you turn off the player.

    The Kuro Link does not work – when activated it was outputting 480i to my 5010. It took me three times of playing with the settings to finally get it to output 1080p despite it was set to auto out of the box. You cannot switch output resolution on the fly. The video output resolution button on the remote does not work best I can tell. The remote is slightly different than the 51/320:

    DSCN0897.jpg

    The menu is set up with four basic selections. The GUI looks very budget and is not the refined GUI i love on the 51/320, though it is probably more straightforward. There are no tweaking menus for nr, brightness, etc. There is not deep color setting, but BD playback did appear as 36 bit on my kuro.

    There is no setting to adjust output resolution to 24fps. The display during playback is even worse (no mb/s read-out, no resolution).

    Performance:

    The cons: BD playback is a bit dull. I prefer the image on the panasonic 55, 320, 51 and oppo. SD DVD upscaling is standard, probably a hair worse than my panasonic 55. Jaggies appear in any closely spaced line and are visible in credits even when stationary. Responsiveness is sluggish and the player sounds like a blender – lots of grinding and gearing noises.

    The pros: Quickstart works – the disc tray opens immediately when you press eject. It has to be right at a second or two. It loads relatively quickly – QOS loaded in a respectable 42 seconds. It struggled with POCI – taking about 1 min 27 secs to get to the disney splash screen.
