Sony BDP-S480

 

The Sony BDP-S480, one of four blu-ray players in Sony's 2011 line, is a step up from the entry level BDP-S380 by offering 3D playback in full HD.

While the Sony BDP-S480 might not win any design awards, it is nevertheless still a consummate looking blu-ray player. For a mid-priced blu-ray player, the BDP-S480 delivers top notch video quality in 3D and 2D. Disc load times are blazingly fast and...

Love The Blu-ray Player

functions as expected as a DVD player, great picture. Disappointing that the USB was not included and worse I couldn't use a cheaper model since only Sony's USB works; so an extra $80 for that feature. BDP forgets the wireless WPA key between uses and...

works ok after installing the adapter

 

•USB Wi-Fi Ready : Yes (UWA-BR100 adapter not supplied) Wish I had read the specs more thoroughly before purchasing a WI-Fi ready and not WI-Fi already built in to it. I had to purchase the above mentioned adapter and it then let me set it up in a...
