The processing of the device and the grippy, well-designed remote control (which controls even my Samsung TV), are perfectly for this price range. The manual is indeed extremely thin, but halfway up logically and fairly complete. The X-bar controls the menu might be a bit of getting used to for Sony newcomers, but reveals itself relatively quickly.
Compared to its predecessor, the S370, has done at first glance not much, but the last S380 now supports NTFS storage to its USB jacks. Thus, now can be played easily even files> 4GB. With current and x.264 MPEG4 files of Sony copes also wonderful, but denied in non-standard encoded DivX / Xvid files before serving.
The picture quality is measured by the price point, absolutely outstanding. The multi-channel sound can be, however, only digital / electric tap. An optical output is completely absent, and analog stereo signal is only on offer. Still, compared to the sales price obtained with the S380 with a great device, I repeat the like, absolutely noiseless drive. Class.
