Sony releases new Blu Ray players

Sony has recently released its newest Blu-ray Disc players in the UK. The BDP-S350 and BDP-S550 were first announced in February and they both claim to “provide movie fans with the ultimate full HD home cinema experience” which is mainly down to the large amount of innovative features.

David Walstra, director of home video marketing at Sony Europe states, “An advanced Blu-ray Disc player like the BDP-S350 or BDP-S550 is a must for every HDTV owner because it delivers the best possible 1080p high-definition video and incredible sound quality, while unlocking next-generation features that you just won’t get from DVD, downloads or video-on-demand.

Here is a summary of some of the main features in both players.

Sony BDP-S350:

- Includes 24p True Cinema.

- BonusView

- Sony’s precision Cinema HD Upscale

- Precision Drive HD.

- BD-Live Ready, Allowing access to special content not included on the disc such as exclusive trailers and interviews.

Sony BDP-S550: (Includes all the features from above also)

- BD-Live and BD-Java firmware already built in.

- Quick start up mode sees the player start up in approximately six seconds.

- Includes 1GB of exchangeable USB storage to save downloaded BD-Live content from the internet.

- Support for DTS-HD Master Audio Decoder and 7.1 channel analogue audio output, which means it can be connected directly to a legacy home-theatre receiver without HDMI.
