George Gerk from Pleasanton has sent in review of Sony ES BDP-S2000ES Blu-ray player.

August 28, 2008



The front faceplate is glossy black and it's completely flat and doesn't have a bezel. The left side is dominated by the disc tray and below that in the corner is a power button with a bright blue LED that illuminates when the player is turned on. Further to the right is an LED display. On the far right are some front-panel controls.

The included remote is average and it gets the job done. The area surrounding the buttons is glossy black--a poor choice since the material proved a magnet for fingerprints. There's a nice centrally located directional pad surrounded by important buttons such as Setup and Menu. Playback controls are located underneath and they are reasonably well-placed excluding the ever-important pause button hidden in the corner.

The audio capabilities of this player are a bit disappointing. There is no onboard decoding available for the newest high-resolution soundtrack formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. This player is capable of sending high-resolution soundtracks to a compatible receiver in bit-stream format which will let you take advantage of the full resolution of these soundtracks. Buyers with new receivers that have Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master decoding can use this feature so most people will be stuck with plain old Dolby Digital and DTS.

If you play a regular dvd in this you will get upconversion (electronic conversion of the 480p video to 1080p video). This is my first Blu-Ray player and it couldn't have been an easier setup. Plugged it in and it was immediately ready for action. The Blu-Ray discs look fantastic as well as the upscaled DVD's. This is a great deal for any avid movie fan.

Rating:

5 Blu-ray rating
