Overview
Not a streaming box, this Sony Blu-ray player is built around disc movies and upscaled DVDs. It sends lossless audio as bitstream over HDMI, supports picture-in-picture bonus content, and uses the Xcross Media Bar icon menu.
Bonus View support and BRAVIA Sync make it a tidy match for a Sony TV and receiver. BD-Live depended on an update at launch and no streaming services are listed, so online features are uncertain.
Who it's for
Home theaters built around a Sony TV and a receiver that decodes lossless audio. Viewers who mainly stream, or who need analog video outputs, should look at other players.
Pros and cons
- Bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD output
- Onboard TrueHD decoding
- Bonus View picture-in-picture
- BRAVIA Sync one-touch control
- BD-Live required a later update
- No streaming services listed
- Only one HDMI output
Performance notes
Movie sound depends on the receiver, since the player can decode TrueHD itself or pass lossless streams untouched over HDMI. DVD sharpness comes from the upscaler, which works only over the HDMI connection. Native film frame rate output avoids judder on TVs that accept it.
