"Great Product! Can't agree with Cnet editor."
Pros: I had no image concerns at all once I used the right cable. I used a basic HDMI cable and got jags just like Cnet reported. I then used a high end Monster cable and Bam! I was watching in PS3 quality. Sound was fine too with Sony AMP and FO cable.
Cons: I could not get the cable company remote to locate the code for the DVD. I have never run into this issue before and could not even pick up the code using the "search" code function. Oh well, a little issue but not a big one.
Summary: I ordered the Sony BDP-350 and Best Buy got backed up and did not send it to me on time. I went out last minute and pickeed up the Phillips-non left. I was hesitant to buy it but took the chance. I really like the unit and will keep it. I have the PS3 on two Sony 1080's and can't believe the 350 will produce more than the PS3. The Phillips unit surprised me and I will keep it and send the 350 back to Best Buy. I also take issue with the sound review in the Cnet posting. I was pretty concerned until I did my own testing. I am using a 3 or 4 year old Sony AMP that has digital specs. By using the TV, Samsung 1080p, as my source for the AMP and a fiber optic cable I am producing some very nice sounds. I have Yamaha rear speakers and JBL center. I am not using a sub woofer since this is a bedroom set up. I watched Dark Night on the set up and was very pleased. The interesting part of all is that I got the Phillips unti for under $180 on sale. It is a little bulky but I don't mind since I placed in on the lower level of my case and you can't see it anyway.
