 Open BDP360 tray with BDP300 remote November 21, 2009
Dr. Chuang Wei Ping (Singapore)
Any update of this excellent BDP will surely now include the OPEN/CLOSE tray button on the remote.
br /
br /I agree that it is an irritation to stand by the BDP to wait for the tray to open, and a few seconds can be saved by pressing the button to open the tray while getting the next BD ready.
br /
br /I have BDP300 remote controls. BDP300 was the first commercially affordable BDP which came out over a year ago, and is already pretty much obsolete because of the 90 second boot time.
br /
br /Remote controls are expensive items, and if one can swop the remotes between the old BDP 300 and the new BDP 360, we can get the more solid BDP 300 remote to open AND close the BDP 360 tray! They are mutually compatible and INTERCHANGEABLE. The BDP 360 remote can be relegated to the BDP 300: the Open button is relatively redundant with the BDP300. After pressing the start or tray OPEN button on the old BDP 300, I still have 90 seconds to go to the toilet and come back, or have a Coke zero, or rummage through the BD collection.
br /
br /This is a plug and play BDP. There is the BDP560 if you want extra features. Some BDs which will not play on the old BDP300 work on BDP360, like The Ninth Gate (Johnny Depp), The Best of Soundstage.
br /
br /The sold-in-USA BDP360 will not play Region 3 dvds. Tried and failed.
br /
br /The BDP360s sold elsewhere (i.e. not from Amazon and delivered within the USA) are multi-coded for DVDs from all regions, and we pay a hefty premium for international versions of BDP360 which plays and upscales ALL dvds from ALL regions. The USA version of BDP360 cannot therefore replace the multi-region dvd player you might happen to have.
br /
br /There is no need to retire the old BDP300. Smaller TVs can still benefit from the old BDP300, which is thunky enough to support a small LCD TV on top (although not recommended without some adaptation). The small size of the BDP360 placed in front of the TV table-top means one can still see the sub-titles from some viewing angles, like lying on the sofa. The BDP300 can be salvaged for another room, or when placing it at an angle to the BDP360 with another TV (to avoid triggering off two BDPs at once).
br /
br /That is my solution to the lack of the OPEN/CLOSE button issue. Use the old remote.

A great, basic Blu-Ray player November 18, 2009
Gregory M. Stelmack (Cary, NC, USA)

There are lots of new Blu-Ray players coming out with advanced features like network streaming of videos. But I've already got an Xbox360 hooked up to my home theater, and several PCs available as well, and all of them can handle any video streaming needs I may have. All I really needed was a Blu-Ray player that would do a really nice job playing Blu-Ray discs and my old DVDs. Thanks to the new players, the price on this one has really dropped, so I pounced.
br /
br /I had one small glitch hooking it up. My HDTV is an older Sony 34" CRT that handles 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i, but not 1080p. I hooked the Blu-Ray player up through my Onkyo receiver using an HDMI cable, which then handles the connection to the TV. When I told the BDP-S360 to use the HDMI connection, all I got was a black screen. I ended up having to use the composite video cables that come with the player to get a picture, and then told the player to use 720p output. Everything then worked fine. So something in the handshake between the TV, receiver, and player thought 1080p was supported, but once forced to 720p everything was fine.
br /
br /Disc loading times aren't bad, taking about the same time as booting up my Xbox360 or turning on my 400-disc DVD changer, so I really didn't notice them. The picture, even at only 720p, is FANTASTIC, showing details I just never noticed before and really enhancing the picture. An example here is that with Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (yes, most of my viewing is for the kids), the pixie dust effects on the DVD have a lot more "glow" to them, while on the Blu-Ray they are individual sparks that don't cover the background as much. The detail improvement is really impressive.
br /
br /Updating the firmware was pretty trivial. With the Xbox360 and a Wii I already have ethernet running to the entertainment center along with a hub, so I just hooked up another cable and it downloaded and upgraded easily.
br /
br /So far I'm very happy. If you really want video streaming you may need to look elsewhere, or if you need a WiFi network connection, but since I did not need either this was a perfect fit at a very good price.

Great Blu Ray Player for the Price November 12, 2009
Rob H (LA, CA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this player after my upconverting dvd player's remote quit working, which gave me a good excuse to upgrade. For the price this player can't be beat. The picture quality is awesome, the upconverting looks good, and the sound is great too. The menus, setup, and features are very user friendly. The start up times are good, and I don't notice the long wait time some have mentioned. It does lack certain features which would be nice, such as the Netflix streaming capability. Although I have a Netflix account, I would have to set it up through wi-fi (not available with this player), and I don't think I would use it that frequently for it to be an issue.
br /
br /My main concern in choosing a blu ray player was it's compatibility with recordable dvd's (dvd+r or dvd-r). I have alot of home movies on standard recordable discs and wanted to make sure that I would be able to view them on the player. This player does play my standard recorded dvd's without any problems. The issue involving the player not continuing the movie if you press stop as opposed to pause must be a disc issue. I stopped a few movies, even turned off the player, and the movie started from where it stopped. Also, the remote not having an eject button, I still need to get up to remove the disc so this isn't an issue for me.
br /
br /If you want a player with great picture quality and has basic features for a great price, then I don't think you can go wrong with this player.
