Where to start ...
Nerd's Notes:
Especially for those who have been the Sony BDV-E570, which has been prepared for the year, it is possible, before they have fixed the problems with the software update. I believe I received such a model. Be overly concerned Nerd that I am, I read the manual. It is not very specific, but say that the connector cable network upgrade. If they are, and you should not rush to take the update via WiFi. Well, you cantake that a step further, (what I did, of course), and you can upgrade directly from Sony, you put files on a CD-R disc, then insert the disk in the drive and run the upgrade in this way ( it automatically detects that the disk contains the update files, very nice). This worked perfectly. No question, as the horror stories about this model I (used this year, his hearing), and its successor, the BDV-E770W. Due to the age of the model I received, was to meet two updates,what I did, with two separate drives for each update. They take a bit ', so do not start one if you have a place to be. You must do both, and this change is more important than the features that this site will remain what Most people find a HTIB 3D-capable Blu-ray features (DLNA can do both, why should I get this model).
Now for the good things.
Cabling: The room that I put in is wired for 7.1, connects the rearSpeaker was not a problem. Speakers pinch standard connectors, insert the wire, and you're set. On the receiving side, it is the custom connector, so you have to splice cables into the wall, if you wire them (he seems a bit 'short for a bigger room).
Network: Okay, I managed to get this on my network Dual-Band Wireless-N, even though all settings must be adjusted manually, did not look to the WPS (WiFi Protected asSetup), wireless settings are configured automatically. When the updates, all network capabilities, Netflicks, YouTube, Pandora, Slacker, and so on.
Sound: You Quapou once the room is drawn up in line, and fills the room with plenty of sound. I'm not a crank, and there is more to offer than a pleasant enough sound home cinema experience.
Video: here there is not much to say except .... WOW. The upscaling is very good. BD is awsome.
System Menu: We have a Sony LCD, I was dependent on the menu interface XMB (Cross Media Bar), the same interface of the PS3. It looks great and is easylink. This system has the same menu interface, find, and the extra content on the Internet very easy.
Contra is not many, but apart from the lack of video inputs (not for me but it could be a serious problem for the others), there are only few things I want to mention. First, a network function that I chose this model / line: DLNA. For some reason he can not see established the DLNA server that I put online. I am looking for the reasons andrepost if I find a solution. Speaker, while the 2.1, the weight of my previous HTIB, seem weak. The fund is a passive sub, may fail while others do not seem to be less than my last system which had a powered sub fist. The exterior of the system is very simple black glossy (fingerprint magnet kid) on the front, when viewed with a lack of knobs and buttons, there is little in the way of winning their attention Twist / print etc.
Overall this is an idealSystem for those looking for an 'all-in-one solution to Internet content. It is strong enough for a medium size room, and is easy to use. It is a receiver of low profile, and that those with limited space to enjoy. The cost is very good (up to 400), and I do not see Replacing a system for at least three years has seen that all the features and functions, I miss some time.
Amazon: WOW. I ordered this system with3:30 clock on Wednesday savings with free shipping. The system was delivered the next day (Thursday).
UPDATE 7/25/10: Got DLNA work, my server showed only a day, was probably due to a reboot I DLNA server. Music flows easily over the network, as well as pictures. Still trying to understand what is digital HD video game, it probably will not be of DivX files, but these files must be sent back to the server to see how they work. Very niceFeature! Makes it very convenient if you want to play on your digital library and do not want to plug in iPod or iPhone constantly changing CDs.
Still very happy with this system! I am more movies and content straight from my collection or to rent.
I did some research, and this system is identical to the BDV-770W, with the exception of the rear speakers wireless S-Air, which paid almost $ 200 on value added.
