See and hear a whole new world in high definition with Sony’s BDP-S500. The crystalline clarity of 1080p Blu-ray Disc™ movies and DVD upscaling that can bring your DVDs to the highest possible quality, mean your favorite movies have never looked or sounded so good. Add to that Sony’s 24p True Cinema and Cinema Tuned picture presets, which allow you to see any movie just the way its director intended, and all you’ll need is a little popcorn to lose yourself in an HD world. Better yet, now Sony’s BRAVIA® Theater Sync™ means that now you can control your compatible TV and AV systems all from one remote.

Nice picture, but awful operation
I own this Sont BD player along with a 46″ HDTV and a Sony 7.1 Receiver. When I finally get the movie up and running, the picture is great.
