Sony BDP-S500
$600.00
Released September, 2007
The Pros:BRAVIA Theater Sync works very well, makes operation much easier. Decodes Dolby True-HD really well, providing deep and very rich sound.
The Cons:No support for sending dts-hd Master Audio to HDMI, but downgrades it to DTS. Only supports Profile 1, so no 3D and severely limited online support. Takes about 90 seconds to power on.
