One of the most popular types of blu ray players on the market is the Sony BDP-S360, not only because it is an entry level machine but excellent value.
However one issue many users had was that the remote control was difficult to use, especially if you dim the lights to watch a film. Looking at the spec of the new Sony BDP-S363 blu ray player it is more or less identical to the BDP-S360, but with a backlit remote control. This means you can see much more easily the controls and which buttons you wish to press.
As the Sony BDP-S363 is a blu ray player you would expect really high quality images and this unit does not fail to deliver. In fact for an entry level machine the BDP-S363 actually as most of the features some of the top of the range Sony payers have. Facilities such as 24p True Cinema means that you can watch your favourite films as they were designed to be shown in the cinema. This means the Sony BDP-S363 will play at up to 24 frames per second. This along with Sony’s trademarked x.v.Color and Deep Colour technology means images a crystal clear.
Picture is very important but another factor you need to think about is what quality sound you will get as well. Well we won’t bore you with all the different Dolby HD acronyms but we can safely say it gives you the high definition sound as well. In fact if you are planning to link in a surround sound system the Sound BDP-S363 has 7.1 channel high definition surround sound HDMI connectivity as well.
Now we have covered sound and picture what else do you need to think about when purchasing a blu ray player? Well after films are released often extra content is made available for people to access such as interviews, behind the scenes footage, or maybe alternate endings. This is all available online but you need a bu ray player that will allow access to this via BD-live. As the Sony BDP-S363 is BD-live ready it means you can connect it to your internet to take advantage of this facility.
As with nearly all Sony products the BDP-S363 is finished in a sleak glossy black finish which will suit nearly all home cinema set ups. Also as well as looking the part you want the thing to function well and with Sony’s award winning menu system it does just that. Taken from the successful PS3 users can scroll through options on screen horizontally and vertically. Just before I forget too this model also has the quick start up mode to get films up and running in under 6 seconds, compaered to some early models this is very quick.
So should you buy this player? A simple question deserves a simple answer and that is yes. The Sony BDP-S363 blu ray player offers great functionality and reliability at a great price so why not.
