Ethan Watt from Moore has sent in review of Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player.

November 6, 2008



The front of the unit is all glossy black with a thin strip of silver along the bottom. To the far left is the Power button surrounded by a blue light. To the far right is the LED display which is a little small when viewed from a standard seating distance.

The included remote is pretty good. Most of the standard playback controls glow in dark. There's a directional pad toward the bottom of the remote and handy buttons located around the perimeter. A little more button differentiation would have been nice.

This player can play standard-definition DVDs and CDs. It cannot play any discs of the competing HD DVD format. The player's high-resolution soundtrack support is excellent. It has onboard decoding for Dolby Digital Plus Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution which means it can output these soundtracks either in PCM format over the HDMI output or via the analog outputs. If you have a newer receiver with onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding you can set this player to output audio over HDMI in encoded bitstream format--letting your receiver do the decoding. There should be absolutely no sound quality difference whether you let the receiver decode or the player decode but some AV fans just love seeing the "Dolby TrueHD" light on their new receiver.

i wanted to write a review because the main thing i love... is actually DVD playback. all the blu ray i've tried has been amazing... but where i love this thing is in regular dvd playback. i don't know all the technical terms of how it converts upwards to HD.
