The Sony BDP-S4200 is suitable for you if you:
- Are looking for a compact, easy-to-use Blu-ray players
- Want an inexpensive second device for bedroom, children's or guest room
- Only occasionally watch a DVD / Blu-ray
- Your TV is not greater than 50 "is the screen diagonal
Make do with a few connection options (1 x USB, 1 x HDMI, 1 x Digital Coax, 1 x LAN) -
- You do not need Wi-Fi and can connect the device via LAN
Home entertainment friends with higher standards should, however prefer drauflegen a few bills and draw a correspondingly sophisticated model into consideration.
The Sony BDP-S4200 is very compact - smaller than a DIN A-4 sheet and very light. Even the power supply is outsourced and is interposed the power cord. Because of the pyramidal design of the top of it can not be stacked in the rack. As the only operating element, the on / off switch is placed on the top, the player must be set free. The plastic casing is glossy and looks quite classy, but is also relatively sensitive to scratches.
Also on display was a hardware side completely waived. The status information is displayed on the small remote control, which only provides basic functions on the TV screen. This is ok if you just want to watch movies. Anyone wishing to use the Player also for playing audio CDs and therefore followed him through a receiver to the stereo, will miss at least the track information. Given the price - the BDP-S4200 eventually cost less than the tank of a mid-size car - but that is quite acceptable.
A bit disappointing I find that neither an HDMI nor accompanied by a LAN cable. With a starting player, the manufacturer can not assume that the customer has at home mE.
The picture and sound does not reach my home theater system with high-quality full HD beamer Although the quality that I can reach with my players used there, but also the cost many times over. At 50 "TV set there for this in terms of image quality almost equal status. The drive noises are clearly audible when reading the disc, then they go into the soundscape of the film under most. Those who still interfere with particularly quiet passages in mind, a foam rubber plate may be the players place. The decoupling from the underground is usually sufficient already.
