Customers most helpful reviews 27 of 29 people found this review helpful. Ok to play BluRay, poor networking capabilities of A. Yalowitz I bought this camera quite well on a whim. Since it is so new, I have not found much in terms of comments. It plays Blu-Ray fine (my old Toshiba was about a hit or miss in this regard), but the functionality of the network is low. I've been with Netflix on my Xbox 360, but tired of high annual fee to Xbox Live wanted a player with Netflix support. Compared to the Xbox 360, Netflix interface on the Sony is a joke ... Only gives instant access to the queue ... that's all. No need to look at, not played recently, not recommendations. There are indications in some of the menu functions that more might come in future versions of the firmware, but who knows. Another feature I wanted was to stream from my home network. I tried to connect to Windows Center (7) and then XBMC Media. Over 80% of my videos are not displayed or not in the game - all AVI files encoded in various formats such as XviD, DivX The same was the case with files stored on a USB flash drive - would not play shows as "damaged". I have not tested the network applications such as Hulu, Pandora. One thing about this player I really like is the Android application for remote control. Easy to configure, worked like a charm. I will probably return this unit over the next few days. November 10 people found this review helpful. Netflix does not work by James Groleau This device works well for Pandora, Hulu +, etc., but the Netflix streaming is painfully awful. All high-definition video is paused all the time waiting to download. Not experience this problem on both computers connected to the same Ethernet switch. My Internet connection can be kept below 7 Mbps, the device does not work for HD video from Netflix. October 9 people found this review helpful. Very good Blu-Ray, Netflix and YouTube, but needs improvement By William My biggest beef is the BDP S480 is that of Netflix. It should be like the PS3 version. Youtube needs more control to users. Both Netflix and YouTube are very limited. Hopefully Sony will fix these problems soon. See all 17 customer reviews ....

I have the Samsung Walsh LN52A-650 LCD TV and BD-P1600 Blu-Ray. I have wireless internet access at home. Initially, I had a real problem getting the BR player to connect to the internet. Would find the SSID, but never mind. When I configure the manual entry and all the requested information, which failed the ping test. After hours of troubleshooting, I found a piece of information on the web, and said that the SSID can not have characters or spaces in the ID. There were spaces in SSID name, so when I fixed that connects without problems. I do not need to buy a new wireless router. What seemed to be the main solution to this problem for others on the web. However, I do not go through the hassle of re-configuring a new wireless router and do not want to spend money on the end, I have not done so. View all 623 comments ....

Most helpful customer reviews 30 of 33 people found the following review helpful. Great players by Tacoloft owned it for about a week until now. I have read the other reviews and have not seen or experienced all the same questions they had with regard to applications and disc playability. There have been two firmware updates that I downloaded and installed automatically when you start - it's probably the problems others have been fixed. Previously it was a great player with fast loading and has nice apps. It interfaces well with my Samsung HDTV and have only experienced good things with him. I have tried many different Blu-ray discs including avatar and have no problems. I would recommend. (UPDATE 7-7-11) downgraded to 1 out of 5 stars player has a dump on me ... in a general sense. A couple of Blu-rays were not reproduced well (or at all). Mr. & Mrs. Smith had constant juttering picture, Night and day we get an error message saying that a software update was required by the manufacturer (I had the latest software by the way) I called Samsung customer support and they had me jump through all the rings to determine that something was wrong with player, and they wanted me to e-mail to them for repairs, etc. ... Instead, he called the store where you bought it and switched to Sony BX-58. It was a very good player until he was not. 24 of 28 people found this review helpful. Honest Review After three days of use per Leininger Lu I just got this player from Amazon three days ago. There are some features of this product that exceeds my expectations. 1.The Blu-ray disc reading is very fast. This compares with the Panasonic DMP-DB60 Blu-ray as before. It is almost 10 times faster than the Panasonic DMP-DB60. I am very happy with your speed reading skills. 2.x You can use a mass storage device to this machine to a USB port that I originally thought the USB ports for storage devices are small, a flash drive or USB stick, like many previous version Blu-ray/DVD players. But after I tried connecting an external hard drive 500 GB to him were all multi-media files on the disk quickly recognized by the player. The lecture was fast. I was pleasantly surprised. 3.Besides the output of high quality video, the audio output is also very powerful. I the reader to my "Logitech Z-5500 Digital THX-Certified 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System, which is the best PC audio system that I've had so far (maybe the best on the market). The sound is much more powerful than the PC output. I had to adjust the volume by 1 / 3 the normal level so it will not be too harmful to the wall. 4.It plays many video formats and supports many codecs . It is the first player to play MKV files Blu-ray/DVD video I saw on the U.S. Be aware that this is the title of a video file to be read by machine, make sure that the subtitle file name (with extension. srt sub o) must be the same as the video file name. I have not done it before. After that I tried to play various video files, I realized that I, who have made me happier with this product. I changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. I bought this player along with "UN55D7000 Samsung LED TV," which has more USB ports only. After several days of use, I realized that the USB functionality of this player and your TV Blu-overlap. But I was still impressed by the new technology. 23 of 27 people found this review helpful. Stuttering Applications Samsung Sidney L. Andrew Good: Quick Boot Does the content that advertises Looks nice and has the latest collection of apps Samsung Bad: Not sure if it's because it is new, but Hulu and Netflix apps Plus stutter uncontrollably I made this player an excellent previous samsung model to replace that never had this problem. It is so bad that a video can go 10-15 minutes without sound or out of sync. Sometimes the video in slow motion play.

Most helpful customer reviews 85 of 87 people found this review helpful. A worthy successor of the BDP-S370 from Peter, I bought two of these - for me and one for a friend outside the state. I'm using has a flat screen with my Sony Bravia 1080p, and my friend his own with an old 30-inch CRT TV (4:3), until it moved its flat-screen box. I thought of a device to do with built-in WiFi, but before you (n), I have some research online and heard buy (read) were horror stories about streaming via WiFi, that we say, somewhat less than complementary (seeds, disconnects, freezes requiring a reboot, etc.), so I decided to buy this device because it has no WiFi (why for a feature that I'm not I use it? to pay). I have a Sony BDP-S370 (used with a flat screen Samsung) and I really like, I would have bought two of them, but they were not available directly from Amazon when I ordered, so I have these - I prefer to buy at Amazon for its Return Policy also supports the BDP-S380 the "voodoo" and has a digital readout display transfer rate (Mbps), which appears when it is transmitted is implementation - both welcome additions! My installation took about 15 minutes from the moment I opened the box until I was looking discs, Amazon VOD, and Netflix (the ones I've created so far). I connect the BDP-S380 to my TV via HDMI, and my LAN via ethernet cable and everything just worked (of course I had to get it ready for my Amazon and Netflix accounts, but had less than five minutes each). After going through the menu on the Quick Start screen, telling the device to me that there was a firmware update available, so I told him to do it and within minutes, is finished and off (usually to update the firmware ) My friend took a little configuration 'anymore, because he had never been before and I could not see what was happening while I tried to talk her through everything (from memory). He is connected to the TV via the (included-in-the-box), AV cable. Because he had a 4:3 TV, did some of the menus do not display readable, which is probably what has made things take a little 'longer. Anyway, we got everything working properly in about 20-25 minutes. One thing to note, I should mention is the following: all BD players produced after 01.01.2011 firmware DRM that prevents HD signals to use any output other than HDMI. For me that was fine because I was using HDMI, since my friend was using AV, everything was displayed on your TV in SD (not really a problem since all this is that one is able to Somehow display, and they will use HDMI if it has already set up your flat screen *: ^) I am very happy with this unit (and she). Their outputs are clear and firm, the user interface is straight-forward and easy to understand, and their physical size, shape and appearance to fit anywhere. Definitely a 5 star device. ====== Note Netflix (04/15/11): It seems that Netflix is ​​not to limit the selections to your instant queue! There is now an option 'Top Picks For You "- well, now you can click" Options "on the remote and when you" Categories> "you'll be presented with a list of categories from which you can search and select the Movies ! Yay! 29 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Great Blu-ray player, but needs help with Ryan streaming I bought this to replace an older Blu-ray had problems with my receiver commuinicating It 'was the first generation and I could not wait, but there were still some bugs. So far in the playback of discs which was great, the quality of sound and image could not be better. The loading time is much faster than older players. If you are looking for streaming and then I think we should give these guys a few more years to work on bugs. Before I bought what I bought the best line of top models that should have been rated the best for streaming and I was disappointed. So I.

Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses.

Most helpful customer reviews 291 of 313 people found the following review helpful. A good unit, but some do ask network N. Porter [This is a long investigation is justified by the number of features of the BDP-S580. I would try to as much relevant information as I can in an attempt to make this as helpful as possible. If you want one of a series of "this is good" review, I apologize, but some people that detail:) I know I] IMPORTANT:. I have some updates and changes in the time to review up to date. Make sure to check them, as they may appear earlier resolutions to problems I experienced. Typically I use the original questions on the spot in the evaluation, followed by an operation with a resolution of the left, could so that other people working in the same problem to find answers. A little background ... It was bought for an older Sharp HP20U Blu-Ray player and some of the characteristics of a DLink DSM-520 Network Media Player replacement. Even after you have owned the Sony BDP-S570 (model before S580), for a short period as an attempt to replace the first one I decided to go back and get the latest BDP-S580 model, however, in the hope that it ultimately will correct or improve a lot of errors in 570 DLNA Let me say upfront that I like about this device, but have some concerns. I'm running wired Gigabit LAN with over CAT6, although this device has only a 100M Ethernet connection, and use the fastest available service maps where it is usually 15-28 Mbps download speeds at any given time. I am using HDMI through a receiver to a sharp 1080p TV. First the good ... 1) Blu-ray load times are much faster than many other devices out there. It was one of the main points I wanted to achieve with the device. In fact, the BDP-S570 the first release is still one of the fastest loaders CNET forever, even with the "Quick Start" off, and it is comparable. I recommend that you leave the Quick Start option was generally used to save energy, the monetary cost of maintaining the device in a kind of startup mode, not worth it if the player can get started very quickly for all but the upload speed test, I used the "Avatar", BD , the worst head of a long shot of the records I have. Avatar took more than 5 minutes to get to the main menu on my old Sharp, Sony and you get to the main menu for about 2 minutes 50 seconds. This is still not fast, but remember that this is the worst manager I've ever seen. BD as "Master and Commander," "Cars" or "300" We all have that within their menus around 30 seconds and reaches the main menu, I mean I had to go through all the warnings about copyright FBI, etc. 2) The unit is silent when playing a disc. It is quiet, but seems better than the S570 and much better than the old Sharp. Note that when you leave a disc while using other features of the S580, it still makes some noise as always keeping the database ready to go I suppose this is not a bad idea to start faster when you choose the Database of the menu system. 3) The Sony BDP-S580 uses the XDB interface standard that can be found on the PS3, PSP, etc. I will, but some do not. In my opinion it is fast, clean, easy to navigate, and this particular device seems to be highly responsive to the icons / options (some have seemed slower) roll. 4) I had no problems with buffering, stutter or pause when playing online video. I used Amazon Instant Video, Crackle, YouTube, Hulu and Plus free HD video test. No problems when playing audio or online using Pandora, NPR, Slacker. However, see notes below in the "bad" referring to actually get to start streaming ... 5) DLNA playback of audio files is good and the interface is fast and responsive. Much faster than the Dlink DSM-520 All files played very well so far, and include. Wma y. Mp3. Note that this comment is in relation to audio files only, see the "bad" of my thoughts on video files through DLNA ....
