Sony BDP-S770 Review

"Test Winner"

"FOR: Brilliant pictures from all types of disc; excellent range of on demand services; quick.
AGAINST: Doesn't look or feel especially classy; no multi-channel outs or second HDMI output."

Info: This product was retested here 1/2011 by What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision and received the same final score.

“If you have a penchant for wireless home network access, or for the internet, there’s no way to avoid the Sony BDP-S 770. Although ‘Netzwelt’ couldn’t find a cheaper offer for the player anywhere on the internet, the 300 euro list price can still be considered a bargain. And besides, there’s almost nothing to criticise when it comes to the device’s 2D and 3D quality.”

“Best in test. 3D ready player with very good error correction. Its database recognises CDs and replaces track numbers with song titles. Enables you to use BD Live without an additional memory source. Short starting time. Extensive online portal.”

Value for money: “very good”, “Best Buy”

“Likes: large Web TV portal; plays SACDs, remote control app for iPhone. Dislikes: stand-by mode uses a lot of energy.”

“Highlight”, “2010’s top power savers”

“Anyone who wants to access the Internet or network wirelessly, is well served with the Sony BDP-S 770. It plays 3D and 2D films of all types most perfectly and is slightly less noisy; in other respects, it is also a little more pleasant than its strongest rival - which comes from the same manufacturer and is called BDP-S 470.”
