3D Technology Checklist This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have:A DisplayThe first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect. A SourceWhile your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3.ContentIn order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience.3D GlassesAll 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV. HDMI CableTo connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

Customers most helpful reviews 27 of 29 people found this review helpful. Ok to play BluRay, poor networking capabilities of A. Yalowitz I bought this camera quite well on a whim. Since it is so new, I have not found much in terms of comments. It plays Blu-Ray fine (my old Toshiba was about a hit or miss in this regard), but the functionality of the network is low. I've been with Netflix on my Xbox 360, but tired of high annual fee to Xbox Live wanted a player with Netflix support. Compared to the Xbox 360, Netflix interface on the Sony is a joke ... Only gives instant access to the queue ... that's all. No need to look at, not played recently, not recommendations. There are indications in some of the menu functions that more might come in future versions of the firmware, but who knows. Another feature I wanted was to stream from my home network. I tried to connect to Windows Center (7) and then XBMC Media. Over 80% of my videos would not show up or will not play - are all AVI files encoded in various formats like XviD, DivX same was the case with files stored on a USB flash drive - they just do not ' t game as "corrupted". Have not tried the other online apps that Hulu, Pandora. One thing about this player, I really think the Android app for the remote. Easy to install, worked like a charm. I will probably return this unit within the next few days. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Netflix does not work, James Groleau This device works well for Pandora, Hulu +, etc., but the Netflix streaming is terribly painful. All HD video is constantly pause to wait to download. I do not experience this problem on two computers connected to the same Ethernet switch. My internet connection over 7Mbps. This device just does not work for HD video from Netflix. 9 of 10 people found this review helpful. Very good Blu-Ray, Netflix and YouTube, but needs improvement By William My biggest beef is the BDP S480 is that of Netflix. It should be like the PS3 version. Youtube needs more control to users. Both Netflix and YouTube are very limited. Hopefully Sony will fix these problems soon. See all 17 customer reviews ....
