The violent kind 2010 trailer

Overall it s an awesome Blue RayInternet media center. I d been putting off getting a blu-ray player because of all the bad things I d been hearing about them. Well, I m very happy with this player. It s works great and I m having lots of fun with it. No unacceptable slowness. NO HDMI connection problems with my 4 year old Sony KD-34XBR960 TV. I m using the coax digital audio to connect to my receiver. The manual states that, the PCM signals, output from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL/COAXIAL jack, will be output as 48 kHz/16 bit instead of 96 kHz/24 bit if, the source is copyprotected. An HDMI receiver would insure the best sound quality. However, I ve been experiencing really excellent sound. I have a huge sound system and really notice the violent kind 2010 trailer improvement in blu-ray sound. I don t feel a need to get an HDMI receiver. The only problem I ran into so far was with some 4:3 aspect ratio DVD s. To play these properly you need to set one of the player s settings to Fixed Aspect Ratio. Although this worked on some DVD s, it didn t work on others. I found that if you just press stop and then play again, it would adjust to the correct aspect ratio. I don t know if this is the player s fault or the DVD. Maybe a firmware upgrade witll fix it. The work around is not that big of a deal anyway. UPDATE: The latest firmware did fix this problem. Blu-Ray picture quality is great, of course. But I was impressed that even DVD s look better. I did not expect this since I already have a couple good DVD players Oppo and Sony. My TV does a much better job of upscaling than my DVD players. This Sony Blu-Ray Player seems to upscale as good or better that my TV. Very smooth motion and all around picture quality. The Sony BDP-N460 Blu-Ray Disc Player delivers on price and performance. It s picture quality is amazing, upconversion from standard DVD content flawless, and Netflix Instant watch, though dependant on our internet services quality as well as demand on Netflix servers, approaches DVD quality and beyond at times does not happen often but a treat when it does. The internet setup is a bit complicated with the entry of various parameters and addresses, and is not plug and play but once setup delivers a variety of internet entertainment sources. A computer network savvy installer is necessary to hook it up without frustration, failure, and a great deal of hassle. Bottom line: excellent price and performance! I ve had this player for several days now. Blu-Ray playback appears to be good, although I don t really have anything to compare it to. But so far its other attributes leave a great deal to be desired. Netflix playback is especially poor. I waited to buy this unit for its Netflix capability to kick in, and was using the Roku HD player in the meantime. Even with a wired connection, the Sony s Netflix HD content playback is noticeably sluggish and jerky, almost to the point of being unwatchable, compared to the Roku player connected the violent kind 2010 trailer to the same router. I watched parts of the same video on each player and the difference is not subtle; it is pronounced. Also, the upscaled DVD picture on this player is very, VERY soft, almost to the point of looking out of focus, even with the TV s Sharpness setting turned up to maximum. This is in comparison to the Sony DVP-NS700H upscaling DVD player I had been using previously, which appears to have a sharper, crisper image; again, the difference is noticeable. I m going to try a few more DVDs and see if Sony and/or Netflix tech support can address the streaming problem, before I give up and return the unit. I had hoped this player would be a nice addition to my BRAVIA setup 46 Z4100 LCD TV, but so far it s let me down. UPDATE: I called Sony and went through three levels of support. They agreed with my description and assessment of the Netflix HD picture quality and told me there was nothing that could be done about it. I also called Netflix and they couldn t help either; none of their suggestions worked.
