Rated 4 out of 5

Works Well

This DVD player is 1000 times better than the Samsung Blue Ray it is replacing. Easy Setup. Great picture. Connected easily to home network through a wired connection. Loads of network options and connected and played Pandora, which I love! I have not played with the 3D stuff. Streaming from the internet works well. The reason for 4 stars: The menus are a little hard to navigate. They could be layed out better. Also in order to use all the streaming options you must buy an additional thumb drive for the USB port in the back of unit. I picked up a 7 dollar 4 gig drive, plugged it in and the unit started using it right away. After that was added I was able to access all the internet streaming options. Why isn't this included with the unit? All in all, I'm happy with this player. For [$] shipped I would recommend to any casual user.

About Sony BDP-S480 Blu-ray Disc Player

The future of home entertainment with the Sony BDP-S480 3D Blu-ray Disc Player. The Blu-ray format is capable of producing stunning, high definition images, as Blu-ray discs can hold up to five times as much as DVDs. As a full HD 1080p player, the BDP-S480 is capable of producing clear, crisp HD video on your HDTV. 24p True Cinema technology also enhances your cinema experience - since most films were mastered at 24 frames per second, they're played back in the same way for high quality imaging. IP (interlaced to progressive) noise reduction cleans up images from your interlaced sources like DVDs, so they'll take on a more Blu-ray like picture quality.

But this player goes beyond disc-based media: you can stream internet content from Sony's proprietary BTRAVIA platform and see movie extras like filmmaker chats and interactive quizzes when you pair it with an adapter and your home internet connection. Your new BDP-S480 also supports Gracenote Metadada Service, so you can see additional movie information or search across internet apps to find related entertainment.

You can see movies from Netflix (subscription-based), create customized radio stations with Pandora and entertain yourself with internet videos from YouTube to transform your living room into a gateway for multimedia entertainment. Or, just stream from your PC to play your personal collection of music, movies and photos.

If you have Sony HomeShare network speakers, you can stream music wirelessly to other rooms of your house from a CD or services like Qriocity or Pandora with thanks to its PartyStreaming capability. For next generation A/V entertainment with 3D and full HD 1080p support as well as movie extras and online streaming, the BDP-S480 makes a superb choice. With a quick load and start time, you can start enjoying all this right away. To top it off, its high-gloss black finish offers a sleek presence next to your HDTV.
