The $399.99 BDP-S300 was Sony's first "entry-level" Blu-ray offering, released in mid-2007. This is a Profile 1.0 player, which means it does not have the secondary audio and video decoders needed for picture-in-picture playback, nor does it offer BD-L...
The player can output 1080p/60 or 1080p/24 via HDMI, and its image quality with highdef movies is excellent, The BDPS300 also does a nice job of upconverting standarddefinition DVDs, offering good detail and minimal digital artifacts...
It does not support BonusView (pictureinpicture functionality) or BDLive (the ability to access interactive Web content), This player does not decode Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD or pass it in bitstream form over HDMI, Startup and disc navigation are slower than you'll find on newer Bluray players, especially with Bluray discs that use a lot of BDJava in their menus.
The BDP-S300 was a great value and fine performer when it was first released in mid-2007, but newer models offer better features for a lower price. Sony just released the new Profile 1.1 BDP-S350, which is the same price, but offers better high-resolut...

The BDP-S300 might be one of the cheapest Blu-ray players on the market but be prepared to make sacrifices if you buy one - it only supports one of the four HD audio formats and its Profile 1.0 spec means you won't be able to access Bonus View features.An...
