Short Test of BDP-185 and a very important tip for the Sound

Sony BDP-S185 Blu-ray / DVD player (Internet video) (Electronics)

Customer Review

One thing: Basically, the Sony an excellent piece of equipment at a crazy price. My old BluRay player, the former reference player Panasonic DMP-BD-60 provides in some categories of quite old. Nevertheless, there might also points that buyers persuade but a few euros more to spend on another model .....

OPTICS:
The Sony BDP-S185 is a tiny and a flyweight among BluRay players. Visually, it makes a pretty high-quality impression, which promises Amazon product description even 'Brushed Aluminium', which is yet very perspective at very close inspection and at the latest when lifting the machine ... all surfaces are made of plastic and the device makes if only because of the very low weight a cheap impression ... but when do you do that already? Once held up and depending on the budget in 2-3-4 meters away doing something nothing to the point .... Unfortunately this is not quite so, and here I am coming to the main point of criticism of the unit: The low weight transmitted to the drive noise (whistling and vibration) with an inserted DVD or Blu quite significantly - sometimes more, sometimes less depending heard even in a distance of 3m. Remedied eg a foam rubber plate or a similar soft material under the player who uncouple the unit and minimize the noise to an acceptable level. I have already read that some even put a book for the desired effect on the player and hereby have great success, but keep my solution for the visually preferable. The large manufacturing tolerances, it may be that a buyer gets a device where such remedies do not help .... or may not be necessary.

As for the appearance, there are 2 special features. There is no display and the blue power LED and the control knobs are top right on the device - Do I look a movie I therefore do not see anything from the player - very good!

REMOTE CONTROL:
The remote control is in proportion as easily and fits comfortably in your hand. The buttons are well placed - orders can be accepted also from unfavorable angles from the player. For me, the battery cover creaks slightly - glued to the inside of a small felt pads provides a remedy.

BLURAY:
BluRay's gives the player (as expected) in excellent quality again. Everything else would have surprised me, because at least I never was able to tell the difference between players of different brands and price ranges in BluRay's.

DVD:
Quite different behaves when playing DVD's .... and here is the player the greatest strength. Before Sony device - ie with my Panasonic - I gradually my larger DVD collection was exchanged for the corresponding Blu-version, as the DVD movies were really not nice to look at on my 50 "plasma (actual logical consequence who is a fat Flat At length the here need to invest). Now the Sony comes along and surprises with an incredible image quality. Even in older DVD's reached the Sony quality, which of course not but come up to bluray / FullHD never more leaves you wishing necessarily having to take care of the BluRay version of the movie. I've never seen a device that bypasses such splendid with DVD footage.

LANGUAGES:
The tone was always very good, but never particularly tear me from the stool. Explosions which could tremble with my previous player the earth were suddenly much more subdued. What made me a little suspicious that was my receiver instead of the respective key (eg, DTS or Dolby Digital) only 'multichannel' indicated. Because surround sound was always there, I have only once so accepted. After I again 'Star Trek' looked at BluyRay but I realized that I can not leave the SO - either flies the players back out or I find the cause of the very good, but 'bad' sound .... After many try, replace cable and reciprocating I finally actually found the cause. In the OSD menu is under the sound settings, select "BD Audio Mix 'is activated. This should disable as owners of a surround system ABSOLUTELY. . After all keys including the HD version are displayed correctly - the sound is like unleashing and corresponds to the quality that you already got visual on offer.

Other:
The player still has div. Other functions via USB (DIVX / mp3 ...) and networking (youtube / LOVEFiLM ....) This I have not yet tested further.

Update 05:03 .: DIVX data via USB flash drive's are displayed in the same way a very high quality as I have already described under the heading DVD. My old HDD Media Player Seagate cometh not with. Really great!

CONCLUSION:
For the little money the player as input is already mentioned a stunner. Since the higher Sony model also have to contend with the noise and I want to give more to the excellent DVD playback in no case, I will keep the player.
Anyone At length even the player should still invest in a rubber mat and urgently correct the sound setting.
Then movie enjoyment is guaranteed.

I hope I have helped you
