Very Nice Blu-Ray Player

"I actually bought the 350 model about 2 weeks ago and then saw this brand new model hit the shelves today so I exchanged for this new 360 model! Really the only difference is appearance (the other was a blue tinted front and this one black) and the added onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential... plus also be 2.0 compatible! Everything is really the same as the 350 other than those ..." Read Full Review »

Good but sensitive to power

"Works fine, but even a millisecond power interruption causes it to turn off. No kidding - interruptions that hardly cause the lights to flicker. Then you must reboot it and locate the place on the DVD that you were watching. In the southeast with our frequent summer electrical storms this product is unsatisfactory...." Read Full Review »

"My first Blu Ray player, nothing else to compare it to. Slow load time? No eject button on remote? These are non-issues in my opinion. I have not figured out how to play standard def DVDs filmed in 4:3 in their original aspect ratio. But up conversion is excellent and what a bargain! "

"This component is particularly useful when paired with a Sony brand television such as the KDL-W5100 series. The unit automatically interacts with the television, switches inputs, and even powers on the TV with the simple addition of a Blu Ray disc. Great ease of use! "
