18 again movie part 1

Maybe a firmware upgrade witll fix it. The work around is not that big of a deal anyway. UPDATE: The latest firmware did fix this problem. Blu-Ray picture quality is great, of course. But I was impressed that even DVD s look better. I did not expect this since I already have a couple good DVD players Oppo and Sony. My TV does a much better job of upscaling than my DVD players. This Sony Blu-Ray Player seems to upscale as good or better that my TV. Very smooth motion and all around picture quality. The Sony BDP-N460 Blu-Ray Disc Player delivers on price and performance. It s picture quality is amazing, upconversion from standard DVD content flawless, and Netflix Instant watch, though dependant on our internet services quality as well as demand on Netflix servers, approaches DVD quality and beyond at times does not happen often but a treat when it does. The internet setup is a bit complicated with the entry of various parameters and addresses, and is not plug and play but once setup delivers a variety of internet entertainment sources. A computer network savvy installer is necessary to hook it up without frustration, failure, and a great deal of hassle. Bottom line: excellent price and performance! I ve had this player for several days now. Blu-Ray playback appears to be good, although I don t really have anything to compare it to. But so far its other attributes leave a great deal to be desired. Netflix playback is especially poor. I waited to buy this unit for its Netflix capability to kick in, and was using the Roku HD player in the meantime. Even with a wired connection, the Sony s Netflix HD content playback is noticeably 18 again movie part 1 and jerky, almost to the point of being unwatchable, compared to the Roku player connected wirelessly to the same router. I watched parts of the same video on each player and the difference is not subtle; it is pronounced. Also, the upscaled DVD picture on this player is very, VERY soft, almost to the point of looking out of focus, even with the TV s Sharpness setting turned up to maximum. This is in comparison to the Sony DVP-NS700H upscaling DVD player I had been using previously, which appears to have a sharper, crisper image; again, the difference is noticeable. I m going to try a few more DVDs and see if Sony and/or Netflix tech support can address the streaming problem, before I give up and return the unit. I had hoped this player would be a nice addition to my BRAVIA setup 46 Z4100 LCD TV, but so far it s let me down. UPDATE: I called Sony and went through three levels of support. They agreed with my description and assessment of the Netflix HD picture quality and told me there was nothing that could be done about it. I also 18 again movie part 1 Netflix and they couldn t help either; none of their suggestions worked. If I can t resolve this myself I m going to have to return the player. UPDATE 2: Amazon on Demand HD video looks fine; very good, actually. Looks like this is a Netflix issue probably the onboard software, not the stream, since Netflix still looks fine on the Roku that will have to be fixed with a firmware update sometime in the future. UPDATE 3: CNET has now reviewed this product. From their review of the player s Netflix performance: We also noticed that the overall streaming video quality seemed to be slightly worse than we re used to seeing. We saw more jerky playback than we re used to seeing on other players. UPDATE 4: The Sony firmware update issued on December 22 has had no effect on the Netflix HD streaming quality.
