Purchased the Sylvania Blu-Ray player Model NB-501sL9 today at Radio Shack for [...] pus tax. I truly wanted to purchase here at Amazon.com or their affiliate Buy.com for the much lower sale price of [...] with NO TAX and NO SHIPPING!! Why didn't I?? Well, for the past 3 weeks I have been getting UPS delivered packages to my door that belong to neighbors and I end up delivering them in person. They have the same 2 last numbers for a street address but the 1st 2 numbers are not even close. I guess it's the Holiday rush or these UPS guys can't read very well. The last straw was 2 days ago when they left a package at my door for a neighbor 2 houses down with our house numbers NOT similar at all! So I paid about [...] more but at least I carried it out of the store!
Anyway, back to business- Last month I purchased the Insignia NS-BRDVD, which is BEST BUYS house brand. It had received excellent reviews from Consumer reports (not quite as flattering from CNET) so I purchased it on sale for [...] The unit is fanastic! It plays everything I feed it! Excellent Blu-ray Picture quality and VERY good upconversion on my old DVD's. I wanted to purchase another for our den but they were sold out at BEST BUY. So, after doing a lot of searching I discovered (also through Consumer Reports and some Video Forums online) that the Sylvania NB-501SL9 is a clone to the Insignia Model. Actually there are 3 alike-The Insignia-Sylvania and Magnavox (NB500MG9).
The load time are much faster than the 1st generation blu-ray players. It took about 30 seconds to get to the blu-ray screen and another 15 seconds to be able to click on play (provided you don't have to fast forward through a lot of previews). Start-up for regulas DVD's are like any other regular DVD player-fast. I do a lot of recording from DISH NETWORK-especially HDNET, TNT, and MGM Hi definition movies. They look fantastic on the Sylvania/Insignia. The only disappointment is the fact that on some (many actually) Blu-Ray discs you cannot RESUME when you hit STOP to take a break. It will start again and go through all the previews. This is NOT the fault of the Player. The resume function works on recorded DVD's and most standard DVD's.
I will provide updates as I view more Blu-ray DVD,s as I just received my first 3 Discs from NETFLIX. UH-OH,the DVD MAMA MIA was freezing/skipping during some parts of the movie as my wife just now informed me. I just restarted it and it played through with no more freezes/skips. Could be the way the rentals are handled (dirty/hard to see scratches etc.)
I am back- after viewing "Chronicles of Narnia/Price Caspian", and "HANCOCK". They both looked fantastic and played without a problem. (both NETFLIX rentals). I have aso viewed 5 other Blu-ray Discs that I purchased from Amazon (great discounts) that I was "lucky" to have correctly delivered to MY address. Although they were viewed on the Insignia, I would expect identical results from the Sylvania. To further identify them as clones-the Manuals are the same and the face of the units and remotes are identical. We are completely satisfied with our purchase of the Sylvania NB-501SL9. As of today 26 Dec 08 Amazon still has it on sale for [...]. I wish I could have taken advantage of that deal!!

We have only used the Blu-Ray player twice but have nor been disappointed with the quality of the picture or the operation of the player.
