Abstract: In the last few years Blu-ray players have evolved from straight-up disc spinners to all-singing, all-dancing entertainment centres. Now you can stream media from PCs, watch web videos and play content from USB devices – as well as watching razor-sha...
Doesn't distort colours, Rapid: platter opens in 2 seconds and playback starts in 23 seconds, Upscaling good enough, Low power consumption: draws under 8.5 Watts during Bluray playback
Remote is too basic, No internal memory for BD Live, No analogue 7:1 outs (stereo only)
The BDP-S380 is an excellent Blu-ray player. The only thing missing is 3D compatibility....
Neutre sur le rendu des couleurs, Rapide: ouverture du plateau en 2 secondes et lecture d'un film en 23 secondes, Mise à l'echelle correcte, Faible consommation électrique: 8,5 Watts en lecture de Blu-ray
Télécommande trop basique\nPas de mémoire interne pour le BD Live\nPas de sorties analogiques 7.1 (stéréo uniquement), Pas de DLNA
La BDP-S380 est une excellente platine Blu-ray. Seule la compatibilité 3D manque à l'appel....
Excellent BRAVIA Internet Video content, Easy to use operating system, Terrific picture quality
Wouldn't play some hi-def video files, No real progress from BDP-S370, No DivX support
If you can live with the lack of 3D support and media streaming from PCs, the Sony BDP-S380 makes a very tidy choice. Picture quality is excellent and it looks great but the inclusion of BRAVIA Internet Video is the real clincher here – its unrivalled ran...
BRAVIA Internet Video built-in, Low price, HDMI cable included in the box
No built-in Wi-Fi, No optical digital output, Remote is a little cramped
The Sony BDP-S380 is an excellent Blu-ray player that has the added bonus of Sony's BRAVIA Internet Video service. We're disappointed with the lack of optical digital output, and the fact that Wi-Fi is an optional extra, but this is an outstanding product...
The BDPS380 supports BDLive and BonusView/PIP, It has internal decoding and bitstream output of highresolution audio sources, The player is wirelessready and supports a wide variety of online media services, including Netflix, Qriocity, Hulu Plus, Pandora, and YouTube, A remote control app is available for the iPhone, the iPod touch, and compatible Android phones,
This player is not 3Dready, It lacks multichannel analog audio outputs, so it's not the best choice for someone who owns an older, nonHDMI A/V receiver, There's no advanced control port like RS232, It lacks internal memory to store BDLive content, The WiFi adapter is sold separately, and DLNA streaming is not supported.
At $150, the BDP-S380 is Sony's least expensive Blu-ray player and offers a solid complement of features, such as SACD playback, a remote control app, and an excellent assortment of video-on-demand and other Web services. That said, for a modest step u...
Improvements over the S370 are few and far between, and it's disappointing not to see iPlayer in HD. DivX support has gone, and start-up is slower. ...
