Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
Player Blu ray
Revel in astounding HD clarity with the BDP-S350 Blu-ray Disc player. The most noticeable additions to this year’s model are the Ethernet port that lets you download firmware updates directly to the player, and — with one of those firmware updates — access web contetent encoded to Blu-ray discs via BD-Live, compatibility with the Bonus View feature of select Blu-ray movies, and a USB port that allows you to add more storage to access the growing number of special features that will be available given the immense storage capacity of Blu-ray discs themeselves.
This player also outputs a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, and upscales your existing DVD collection to 1080p when using an HDMI connection. Dolby TrueHD capability delivers lossless sound that is true to the original studio master. Bringing it all together is the new icon based Xcross Media Bar, which provides simple navigation of the player’s menu system.

Sony well known not only for their quality of products, but also for their advancement of the improved technology. This one loads pretty fast. From what I read it is much faster then older models. There is only one thing that I’m disappointed with the player has the Bravia Theater Sync feature. Which works great with my Sony amp. I also watched Stop Loss on a SD DVD and that look pretty good too. The DVD player has a slot in the back for a USB drive and it also has a ethernet port so it can connect to the net for firmware updates and to access bonus features.
One of the best features of this player is its size. Sony has been able to reduce the size of the player to just over a 2″ height and only 8-3/4″ deep. Sony’s previous model was nearly 15″ deep and just over 3″ high.
But you cannot turn off Sony’s GUI control panel (Xross Media Bar) over the desktop pattern–it is always on unless you are playing a disc. I use this player with a front projector and it looks tacky for guests seeing my control panel over the desktop and for some reason the DVD remote will only control the volume for the TV not the amp. So I still have to use a second remote for volume on my Sony amp. This makes no sense to me.
Finally, I’m very pleased with the performance of this system, a good player with 2 annoyances. 4.5/5. I find absolutely no need to replace those two favorite great movies on Blu Ray because the S-350 upscales them to HD just fine! This IS an amazing player!!! I recommend this product to everyone!!!
