Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Sony BDP-S790 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi. This blu-ray player possesses many high-end features that will add and enhance quality to your home theater entertainment system. It is compact in size, has a very contemporary design, takes up very little space, and is easy to set-up and use. The dual-core processor ensures that loading time for your discs will be immediate, no more lag time, as with other players. The BDP-S7900 offers several video adjustments. For example, if you are looking for a different lighting environment you can choose from 3 preset picture settings; standard, brighter or theater. The I/P noise reduction improves the picture quality of your internet entertainment. Through the HDMI output, the BDP-S790 blue-ray player is capable of upscaling your standard DVDs to a higher resolution thus giving you clearer, brighter images and improved picture quality.

Part # RMT-B122A is the remote control that comes with this Blu-ray disc player. There has been some disappointment about the layout of the remote whereby the navigation buttons are too close together and it makes it difficult to push the correct button. An important feature lacking in the remote is the absence of illumination on the buttons.

Internet browser capabilities did not meet the expectations of many users and is very limited and slow. However, streaming movies, and music from the internet has been said to be easy and lightning fast. Some people have noted that the manual could have clearer and easier to understand instructions for some of the options and features. A drawback of the outside of the unit is that the display is too dim to see in daylight. There is no DNLA support with this unit and it has caused many to return the player. Despite its drawbacks however, with all its features and excellent sound and picture quality, the majority of consumers are very happy with this blu-ray disc player.

Pros:
• Excellent sound and picture quality
• Built-in WiFi, with fast streaming capabilities
• Easy to set-up and use

Cons:
• Overpriced
• No DLNA support
• Poorly designed remote control
