After looking for some time for a Blu-Ray player (my first) I almost bought the 350 model, but I took so long to decide that the 360 came out first. I am so pleased to have purchased this player, it is excellent, Blu-Ray movies are exceptional and upscaling is far better than I could have hoped for.

I read reports on this unit from American sites who had this player first, and was almost put off by too much “anorak” talk. Do not listen, if you want a player that does the job, plays DVD’s in great quality, this is it.

Easy to set up and fast loading of Blu-ray films. I would recommend this player to anyone.

Ok had this about a week, to go with my new Toshiba 37xv635. I hadn’t bought too many Sony products in the last four years due to experience of lousy post-sales service from my local sony centre, but thought my Sony dvd home-theatre’s been around five years now and still ticking along, and a blue-tooth speaker has been doing fine too, so took the plunge again. So far (fingers crossed) it hasn’t been a mistake. As well as getting top marks in tests (think it came tops recently in a sub-£300 group test, plus also in a Times online test), it’s also incredibly easy to set up and use, and pricing-wise it’s where you’d expect it to be – about the same as a similar Samsung, but cheaper than a Panny unit.

Set up: Can get it running 5 minutes out of the box – just buy in your wiring before-hand. Current version of the firmware seems fine to operate everything – I’m not bothering to fiddle around to try and connect my internet to it unless it becomes essential. Get the best HDMI cable you can afford, as it does make a difference, and nearly all settings can safely be kept to the factory default settings. The remote can be configured to work w most big brand tv’s, and vice versa, though there’s a couple of operating quirks I’d noticed with the Toshiba TV/Sony Blu-ray that’d probably be absent if both your units were from Sony.

Picture quality: Blue ray pin sharp of course, but upscaling dvds can be a bit patchy – big movies like Gladiator seem to upscale brilliantly, some tv series (BBC’s “Outnumbered”) oddly do not – all jagged lines and blurs. Will try tweaking the settings, but I understand upscaling isn’t always 100% anyway.
