Precision Cinema HD Upscale

Precision Cinema HD Upscale circuitry delivers accurate and vivid images with clarity and detail that are faithful to the source -- whether film or video (upscaled image quality will vary). This circuitry uses advanced conversion and processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. Additionally, separate algorithms are used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.

Amazing Performance This blu-ray player is incredible. It plays beautifully, set-up is easy, and the design is the best yet! It's not too heavy or bulky and everything about it is amazing! No complaints! April 23, 2009
Blu-ray Errors Owned this for 1 + year No problem at ALL on my & Netflix DVD's .. it would only play like 2 out of 20+ Netflix Blu-rays ( I thought it was a Netflix issue ) .. The past 2 weeks I bought 15 New sealed Blu-ray DVD's.. and it only played -3-.. .. Last night I put in one I just got it.. watched HALF of it and stopped it.. I went back this morning and it gave me a "Invalid Disc" error.. after working on it for an hour I gave up.. Firmware up to date.. disc clean.. Sony troubleshooting no help.. I'm ordering a NON-Sony Blu-ray player February 10, 2012
fantastic unit Love this unit, always plays wonderful. Never any problems. Only wish is that it was able to connect to the internet. Plays fantastic & has great audio for all my cds. November 26, 2011
SYS ERROR!!!!! BEWARE OF FIRMWARE UPDATE!!!! COMPLETELY DISGUSTED!!!!! Received this player as a gift last year. Was happy for a while. Then decided to connect to my broadband. Big Mistake! Upgraded firmware via internet. That was the end of it. Things fell apart on update 7 (for bd live content). Now the tray pops open and the front display reads 'SYS ERROR' Tried downloading their firmware update (from Feb 2010) and using the manual method. But player is dead as a brick! Won't read the disc. Won't even lease an IP address from my router! Arrrgh!!! Called Sony Tech Support (twice). Useless! They were going to send me a refurned unit for $136 + s/h. (somehow they deemed this sending the unit in for repair). What? It was a gift. I have no receipt. Their firmware update trashed my unit. Not vica versa. I guess I wouldn't be so angry if I thought my case was an isolated incident...but it's not. Their have been reports of this happening on other models. And some have gotten this when trying to update directly from a cd! Find your favorite search engine and 'BDP-S360 SYS ERROR'. Plenty on it. I really wanted to love this unit. But I can't use it! I can't speak for anybody else...but I feel beyond let down at this point. Sony doesn't care and I'm left hanging with no blueray player...due to NO fault of my own!!! I'm done ranting. This isn't worth the stress. Time to finally retire this to the trash and never touch 'anything' with the Sony name on it agin!!! -Rick April 17, 2011
