Featuring BD-Live compatibility*, you can take full advantage of the Bonus View feature on select Blu-ray movies as well as acquire the latest features and updates as they become available.This player also outputs a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, plus upscales your existing DVD collection to 1080p when using the HDMI connection.
Superior picture quality isn't the only thing you'll notice, the BDP-S350 comes with Dolby TrueHD which delivers sound as stunning as the high definition picture itself. Bringing it all together is the new icon based XrossMediaBar, which provides simple navigation of the player's menu system.
* Upgrade to BD-Live by adding USB memory.
HD 1080/60 p & 24p True Cinema Video Output
Most of all Hollywood movies are shot at 24 frames per second, and Blu-ray Disc movies are mastered at 24 frame per second, so it is only fitting that the Sony Blu-ray Disc Players can output your films at 1080/24p for a true film-like experience at home. Of course, Sony Blu-ray Disc Players can also output at 1080/60p for more traditional HDTV sets on the market. Either way Sony has you covered for the best picture possible in Full 1080p!
Quick start-up mode
Quick start-up mode allows operation in less than 6 seconds from when Sony Blu-ray Disc player is powered on.
Bonus View
Bonus View feature provides "picture-in-picture" capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles -- useful for viewing director or actor commentary while the movie plays.
Dolby TrueHD decoder built-in
Dolby TrueHD delivers lossless studio master quality audio designed specifically for high definition entertainment like Blu-ray Disc. An incredible sound stage, dynamic range and a stellar Home Theater experience await you with Dolby TrueHD.
Dolby TrueHD /DTS-HD bitstream out via HDMI
Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD gives you sound quality that matches the crystal clear image of Blu-ray Disc. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and audio that is indistinguishable from the original studio version, Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD promises you an extraordinary surround experience.
DVD upscale to 1080p via HDMI
DVD Upscaling via HDMI gets the most out of your existing DVD collection by upscaling standard definition video to near HD quality
Precision Cinema HD Upscale
Precision Cinema HD upscale uses high bandwidth digital-to-analogue conversion and processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. Additionally, separate algorithms are used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.
XrossMediaBar (XMB)
XrossMediaBar (XMB) on-screen display is a fast, fun and easy way to access set-up menus, user controls, and more.
BRAVIA Sync
As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA Sync to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA televisions and other Sony audio and video products, in addition to audio and video transmission, control functions will be transmitted via the HDMI cable. With "One Touch Play," operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA television turn on and switch to the correct video input. Simple! Easy! BRAVIA Sync!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Great First Impressions A. N. on 03.01.2009 Overall, I'm very impressed by this player. Upscaled DVDs are given a much needed shot in the arm and Dark Knight on Blu Ray is breathtaking in depth and motion tracking (as you'd expect from a Blu Ray disk). The only drawbacks are fairly mild: - Component video cable included but no HDMI cable (but, then again, who does include one?) - There's a port on the back for a USB stick to store BD-Live content. It's recessed so check that you have a stick - or want to get one - that fits. - No on-board decoding of DTS-HD MA but it can bitstream it via HDMI to a receiver. If your receiver doesn't decode this format then maybe look at the 550 instead... it's worth it when you hear it. - If you live in the US or Canada then the current firmware is version 010 as clearly stated on the Sony eSupport website. If you live outside of these countries then you're out of luck finding out what version is the current one as they don't list it online..... Grrrr, Sony! Very, very Grrrr! I only grumble on the last point as I don't have the player permanently connected to my home/ADSL network.... yet! Other than that... a very worthy new player. |
