Sony BDVE 280 Bluray Player 1 Oct 2011

By Tone

Amazon Verified Purchase

Arrived via Yodel/Amazon suitably packaged and at the time of purchase there were no customer reviews posted so had to rely on the internet for these and Sony UK website all seemed positive and decided to buy, it has 3 HDMI ports, optical output and internet connectivity, 2 USB ports along with 3D, DVD upscaling to near full HD and an FM radio although the latter wasnt a must have for me and 1000 watts of power. Unboxed the Blu Ray player which was really well protected and packaged as you would expect for a consignment of this value to reveal a shiny black player and made all the connections to my TV via HDMI lead (not supplied but only �[] on Amazon). If you have used a Sony PS3 you will be used to the menu list and set up, if your not it is really simple to follow and after powering up and entering the initial menu was advised that newer software was available so l downloaded via the LAN lead (not supplied) which was connected into my Virgin broadband router, this took about 10 minutes to complete and l was up and running playing my first disc. Sound is awesome along with the picture quality making movies far more realistic with crisper sounds.

I have upgraded from an 8 year old Panasonic DVD home theatre system to this, you can certainly see and hear the difference between this and the new one (Sony wins by a long shot!)the unit even comes with an IPOD dock comlete with a USB lead and single video lead. Have connected my IPOD touch and can listen to all my music or videos although cant view photos but think this is an output issue with my Samsung tv not the Blue Ray player. All in all 5 stars, very pleased with my �[] purchase and dont think you will be disapointed, l will leave a more technical review to someone better qualified.
Sony BDVE280.CEK 3D Blu-Ray Disc/DVD 5.1ch Home Cinema BRAVIA Internet Video

Update on above: I have used most applications on offer and found everything to work fine and easy to navigate through the menu. The surround sound is fantastic and crystal clear, the picture quality on my 720p HD telly is great can't wait to upgrade to a full 1020p HD tv to appreciate what this player has to offer. I would add that you may need to play around with speaker settings to get the right depth/distance and sounds from them but once your set up then sit back and enjoy...

Outstanding system 30 Oct 2011

By pazman2k

Having spent a good while deciding which system to buy I'm really glad I went with the Sony BDVE280. Connectivity and configuration was simple and the sound quality is outstanding.
I'm running a PS3 and my Virgin+ set top box through the system and both sound fantastic. I've also used the ipod dock which is easy to use and great for parties.
The home menu is a little slow when compared with the PS3 systems but you can't be expecting the same performance anyway so it's no bother to me.
For the money this is a great system. Fully recommended.

Absolutely amazing, it does everything I needed and more! 18 Oct 2011

By SimonB

Absolutely amazing, it does everything I needed and more! With two HDMI inputs and an Optical input.

I run my Sky+ HD box, Xbox 360 and optical in from the TV through the Surround Sound and they all sound amazing.

The 3D is again, pretty amazing, we have only watched Saw 3D, but that was stunning.
