  • Abstract:  Le lecteur Blu-ray Sony BDP-S300 fait partie de la seconde génération de platine de salon du géant japonais. Il s’agit d’un modèle de milieu de gamme qui propose néanmoins des caractéristiques proches du haut de gamme, symbolisé par la référence BDP-S...

  • Abstract:  Le BDP-S300 de Sony serait un lecteur disposant du fin du fin pour accéder à la haute-définition. Les arguments techniques ne manquent pas : technologie x.v.Colour, sortie 7.1 non compressée, mode cinéma 24p, Bravia theater Sync... Et si lon examinai...

  • Mode 24p activable manuellement, Très beau menu, Réglage de l'image (luminosité, contraste, teinte et saturation)
  • Incompatible avec les DiVX, Initialisation beaucoup trop lente, Incompatible avec le Dolby True HD, ni le DTS HD, Le mode 24p crée parfois des effets d'escalier, Prix trop proche de celui de la PS3
  • La BDP-S300 est une très bonne platine Blu-ray qui souffre de l'absence du Dolby True HD et du DTS-HD, et d'une certaine lenteur. Des lacunes impardonnables pour un lecteur vendu à ce prix....

  • Le prix, la qualité en HD 1080/24p, l’interface et l’ergonomie.
  • Pas de HDMI 1.3, pas de port Ethernet, pas de décodeurs audio HD lossless, pas de compatibilité avec les bonus PIP en BD-Java, upscaling HD des DVD sans éclat.
  • Figurant (avec le BD-P1400 de Samsung) parmi les lecteurs de salon Blu-Ray les moins chers du marché, le BDP-S300 de Sony risque malheureusement d’être assez vite obsolète. A moins que l’interactivité dynamique et le son HD des Blu-Ray ne vous...

  • Abstract:  Der HDMI-Transmitter-IC trägt die Typenbezeichnungen „SIL 9030“. Das verrät dem Insider, dass der BDP S 300 noch mit dem älteren HDMI-Terminal der Version 1.2 bestückt ist. Diese Schwach­stelle ist für die Daten der neuen, unkomprimierten Tonformate D...

  • Abstract:  Sonys erster Blu-ray-Spieler kostet mit rund 600 Euro nur halb so viel wie die Konkurrenz-Modelle. Hat der Hersteller an der Qualität oder Ausstattung gespart? AUDI VIDEO FOTO BILD hat den BDP-S300 einem ausführlichen Test unterzogen.

  • Abstract:  En blu-ray-spelare med stöd för 1080p-upplösning och 24p. Testarna är överlag nöjda, men saknar stöd för dolby true hd. Enligt Sony i Sverige skall man dock snart kunna uppgradera spelaren själv.

  • Abstract:  Kampen om hva som skal bli framtidens filmformat raser ufortrødent videre mellom Blu-ray og HD DVD-leiren, og med stadig flere høyoppløste spillere i butikken blir spørsmålet hva du som kunde skal velge. Bildekvaliteten er like god på begge formaten...
