 Sony BDP-S370, as a PC media player September 2, 2010
Dave (Wales, UK)
Had this player for a week now, and all seems fine with it, the instruction manual is very limited so I'm taking a point off for the lack of an in-depth one. The players navigation menu system is easy to use, and seems to be based on the sony ps3 system. Remote control is rather more chunky than I expected, in comparison to other sony products. The player itself is a shiny black, with an extended shelf at the bottom of the front, which houses the manual control buttons (very small buttons!).
When in use I found the player to be extremely quiet, apart from when its first powered up, in fact its hard to tell its running at times. nice selection of connections for a modern setup, no scart at all though for people with older model tv's.
setting it up with my modem-router was relatively easy, it detected a firmware update and automatically downloaded it, after which bbc iplayer became available, as well as a selection of other streaming website content. Streaming quality is dependant on your broadband speed, and network congestion, so don't expect HD quality at peak times with slower connections lol.
Now for DLNA support, which was one of the major reasons I purchased this player as I wanted to play the content on my PC. While DLNA support should make things easy, its a bit hit and miss currently, as can be found out if you try and google setting it up on a DLNA home network.
The simplest way is to use Windows Media Player 11 or higher, and set the folders you want to access to share with your BDP-S370, this should allow your player to access the folders contents via its menu system so you can play music, videos and look at photos. Video file playback will be dependant on what video codec was used to encode the files, there is a list on the sony products page of what the player should play, I've only tested it with avi files so far but haven't had any problems apart from one, which may well be encoded with a non-standard codec. If your player can't see your PC's folders (bear in mind they take a few minutes to become available), then try temporarily disabling your PC firewall to see if that is blocking access. I have to admit that i'm still trying to reconfigure my firewall to allow the player access to my PC contents, and so far have spent a few hours banging my head on the desk in frustration. Temporarily disabling my PC firewall, allows the player to work without any problems!
If you don't want to use Windows Media Player, there are a number of free DLNA software servers available on the internet, and quite a few more you can buy. Many of these offer a free trial period, read their reviews before trying them to see what functions they cover. I can tell you that I tried the tversity server, but couldn't get the player to work with it at all.
 well pleased! although............. September 1, 2010

I find the front of the machine rather odd with a silly dust cayching lip! but not to worry it is working well it does not turn my TV over, but that could be my Toshiba TV! otherwise Well pleased! picture quality is outstanding with vivid colours and a good range of features to boot!

The only reason I bought this particular product was to update from my PS3 to a proper blueray player. I checked out reviews on the product and made my choice on that basis. I can say that I wasn't disapointed in my choice and that the player is brilliant and worth the money. Picture, sound is out of this world and adds so much more depth to watching a movie.... If you want a budget player with the top end specs then this is your one.....
nice to have one August 31, 2010

Excellent Blu Ray with one minor problem August 30, 2010

This is my first Blu Ray player and I'm not disappointed. The Picture is absolutely Incredible even tho my TV is only capable of 1080i. The sound which I'm running through my Sony HTSS100 surround is mind blowing. The Internet TV function is ok its not why I bought the player just a nice extra. Why 4 stars? well there is a bit of a whining noise out of the player when it is playing a disc, if that wasn't there it would be 5 stars. I'm still very happy with this Blu Ray and I saved 74 euro buying it from Amazon compared to my local Argos or Currys.
