1. Best 3d blu ray player reviews
With AV Receivers and Blu-Ray Players being a vital part in any home cinema installation
AWE, the leading CI distributor, has introduced a number of new products from Denon and
Marantz, to provide top quality, affordable and reliable solutions for the residential market.
“The AV receiver is a vital component for custom installation and the choice of product is very
important,” says Paul Mott, AWE’s Sales Director. “The AV receiver needs to be able to
switch both HD video and audio from Blu-Ray players and also deal with compressed
audio/video playback from MP3 players or smart devices. The best-selling AV receivers for
custom install are those that provide good input connectivity, with an ability to scale video to
simplify wiring, switching for additional zones and good control options”.
This go over here now can be the best, The Denon range has expanded with the introduction
of three new AV Receivers - the flagship AVR-4520, AVR-3313 and AVR-2313. All models
offer unprecedented network streaming capabilities, 4K upscaling video support, triple HDMI
output and Audyssey Multeq XT32 room correction control. The DNLA 1.5 certified receiver
supports Apple’s AirPlay, last.fm and Spotify. AirPlay is inbuilt into the receiver, allowing
users to stream their iTunes or iDevice content directly to the unit. 3D pass-through is
another useful feature, allowing for realistic, immersive surround sound imaging that’s
increasingly offered in many 3D movies and video games.
The DMP-BDT220 does without the flashy touchpanel remote handset sported by its pricier
siblings, but that’s a good thing. Although small and plain, the button-heavy handset you get
here is much easier to use than Panasonic’s touchpanel models, and does a perfectly good
job of navigating you through the player’s on-screen menus. There’s a free control app
available too, and that’s what we’d use the most. For such an affordable Blu-ray player - and
for a product whose primary job is to play discs - the Panasonic packs in plenty of network
flexibility. Its Viera Connect portal includes iPlayer, Acetrax, Aupeo! and Netflix streaming,
while it’ll accept a broad range of audio and video formats via DLNA, including high-quality
file types such as FLAC and MKV. You can play an equally extensive selection of files via
USB and SD, too.
A new dual-core processor means the Oppo BDP-103 is much faster than its predecessor.
Initial testing by users shows the new player booting up in half the speed of the superceded
BDP-93.
2. THE CONS: Unfortunately, there is no internal memory provided in the BDP-S380. Therefore
when accessing BD-Live content you will need to connect a USB Flash Memory device if you
want to download any material. It also does not provide DLNA services, which allows you to
access videos from your computer. While it is Wi-Fi 'Ready', the USB adapter is not included,
you would have to purchase this device separately. THE FINAL WORD: Overall the BDP-
S380 from Sony is a very good blu-ray player. Offering you the standard blu-ray functions
and many extra features you will surely use such as internet streaming and Gracenote??
Metadata. It does not have some extra features you will find on higher-end players, but with a
very reasonable price, the BDP-S380 is one of the best budgeted players you will find.
