Sony’s First Blu-ray 3D Ready Players

Sony Electronics has just launched its new stand-alone Blu-ray 3D ready player – the BDP-S470. This model can be upgraded to be able to play Blu-ray 3D content through a firmware update which will be available this summer. Along this device are other previously-introduced models called BDP-S570 Blu-ray Disc as well as BDV-E770W and BDV-E570 Blu-ray Disc home theater systems.
All these three models are 3D ready so they will allow you to watch Blu-ray Disc movies in Full HD 1080p or DVD in near HD quality. Aside from Blu-ray 3D playback, the moment these models are hooked up to a broadband internet network, they instantly let users stream videos, movies, and music and have access to a plethora of entertainment applications from YouTube, Slacker, Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, and many other providers. These models are also outfitted with Sony’s Entertainment Database Browser which makes use of Gracenote technologies to enable users to browse important details from a Blu-ray Disc and access related content stored on BRAVIA Internet Video content.

Distinct to these models is the ability of users with an iPod or iPhone touch device to manage these players through a free app tagged as “BD Remote” which can be downloaded from Apple App store. With this application, you can use your iPhone or iPod Touch device as a remote control with the capability of accessing details from Blu-ray disc.

For easy start up, these models also come with Quick Start/Quick Load feature. Once this feature is activated, disc loading is done faster than past models. In fact, stand-alone Blu-ray Disc players can power on and off in almost three seconds. Shipping of these products will start next month. Meanwhile, you can visit Amazon to see the wide range of available Sony Blu-ray players.
