Manufacturer's Description

This player also outputs a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, and upscales your existing DVD collection to 1080p when using an HDMI connection. Dolby TrueHD capability delivers lossless sound that is true to the original studio master.

See Everything Your HDTV Can Show You with Full HD.More Bits
 In the digital world, picture quality is not just about resolution, but also about bit rates. The higher the bit rate, the more data that is processed, typically resulting in higher video quality. DVDs have a maximum video bit rate of about 10 megabits per second (Mbps). In comparison, Blu-ray Disc is capable of video bitrates up to an incredible 40 Mbps. The bottom line, higher bit rates allow for the least amount of data compression for HD video that looks closest to the original video source. |
More Sound
The BDP-S350 is compatible with Dolby TrueHD, Dolby’s next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media. Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on next-generation discs. When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an unprecedented home theater experience that lets you enjoy sound as stunning as the high-definition picture.- Delivers enthralling studio-master-quality sound that unlocks the true high-definition entertainment experience on next-generation discs.
- Offers more discrete channels than ever before for impeccable surround sound.
- Compatible with the A/V receivers and home-theaters-in-a-box (HTIBs) of today and tomorrow.
- Dialogue normalization maintains the same volume level when you change to other Dolby Digital and Dolby TrueHD programming.
- Dynamic range control (Night mode) enables you to customize audio playback to reduce peak volume levels (no loud surprises) while experiencing all the details in the soundtrack, enabling late-night viewing of high-energy surround sound without disturbing others.
Xross Media Bar
 Xross (pronounced Cross) is Sony's Technical-Emmy award-winning graphic user interface for Sony WEGA and BRAVIA televisions and PS3 and PSX game systems. The interface features category icons spread horizontally across the screen that organize the viewing options (TV, Music, Internet, Tools, etc...). When a category icon is selected on the horizontal bar, a vertical bar appears showing the viewing options within that category. Using the directional pad on your remote, you can easily maneuver horizontally from category to category, then scroll vertically through individual viewing options to easily navigate through the wide range of programming available on today's televisions. |
BD-Live
 BD-Live is a Blu-ray feature that enables you to access special content via an internet-connected Blu-ray player. Because it's not coded into the disc, BD-Live content is always updated, always fresh. With BD-Live, your Blu-ray disc is different every time you view it.Check out the latest previews, download special scenes, exclusive features and ringtones, and participate in online communities or games. As BD-Live continues to grow and expand, even more features will become available, customizing features and content to your location or preferences. Now, your disc k |
More Space
| Blu-ray Disc has 5x more storage capacity than DVD, which allows more content to fit on the disc. The extra storage capacity also means more room for special features like inline navigation, Bonus View, interactive games, deleted scenes, director commentary and more | |
Navigate to special features, other scenes, or settings without leaving the content you are watching. | Bonus View lets you watch special features and commentary inline without leaving the movie. |
x.v Color
 RGB Color Range |  xvYCC Color Range | Thanks to the adoption of a newly approved international color standard called xvYCC (an option in the HDMI v1.3 spec and which Sony participated in creating), the color space has been greatly expanded. All Sony XBR HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications), or "x.v. color" for short. Standard RGB color space allows the display of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation "xvYCC" color space actually offers an available range of colors that exceeds what human eyes can recognize.

Deep Color
 | So, where x.v. color expands the available range of colors your HDTV can display, Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from color to color.

Connectivity
 As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA Sync to gobeyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA televisions and other Sony audio and video products, in addition to audio and video transmission, control functions will betransmitted via the HDMI cable. With "One Touch Play," operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA television turn on and switch to the correct video input–Simple–Easy–BRAVIA Sync.Inputs and Outputs

Customer Reviews
Excellent Player - Small and Light
Quick and Easy setup. I currently have it connected to the Sony STR-DG820 7.1 receiver and viewing it through the Sony KDL-52W4100 TV. The bravia sync is great and will operate from the TV remote or the included remote! It has surprised me as far as playing music CD's and DVD+R. I recently put in DTS audio CD's and they sound amazing in DTS 5.1 through this player. Of course, Blu-ray is amazing! I updated the firmware available from Sony's site and didn't have a hitch on the update. Sony quality is unbeatable!
Sony Blu Ray 
We are really pleased with this Blu-Ray - they've made many improvements over their previous model. Would recommend to anyone wanting a good quality Blu-Ray Disk Player.
Last Sony Product I Ever Buy
I'm in the middle of a movie. I want to got to bed, dinner, whatever. I hit STOP. And a message comes up on the screen saying Resume Playback Prohibited From This Point. Playback Will Resume From Start of Disc Next Time. ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME??!?! I plunk down $30 for a disc and I can't even stop and start it as I please? My old DVD player, you could eject the disc, watch another one, turn the player off, turn it on, and when you put the disc back in it STILL remembered where you were and resumed playback from that point. But with this one the only option is to hit pause and waste a lot of energy and wear and tear on the player while that disc continues to spin in the machine until the next time I want to resume watching.
As Sony a) developed the Blu-Ray format b) made my player and c) Sony studios made several of the discs I own, I at least know who the culprit is. Don't be fooled by their pretty product designs and glitzy ads. They've forgotten they're here to serve the customer. Instead their engineers and lawyers are running the show.
This is only the latest in a lot of disappointments w/ Sony products where it's obvious they didn't adequately test the product w/ consumers. Or else they just don't care what we think. Sony, I'm so done with you.
UPDATE: I just asked my friend if his BD player has same defect, he replies: "nope, we watch regular DVDs and BD discs and all play and stop and even have memory stop where you turn the thing off and remembers were you were. it's the DMP BD30 panasonic""
