Pioneer Electronics BDP-320

The $250 (as of December 14, 2009) Pioneer BDP-320 sends gorgeous pictures to an HDTV, but it lacks the Web streaming multimedia capabilities of even lower priced Blu-ray Disc players such as the LG BD370 and the Panasonic DMP-BD60K. Pop a Blu-ray disc into the BDP-320 and you'll get muted yet beautiful and natural-looking colors--less saturated than those produced by our reference player, a Sony PlayStation 3, but more pleasing to the eye. Skin tones were realistically balanced throughout, and the opening scene of the black-and-white Good Night and Good Luck movie looked gorgeous. The BDP-320 even did well with DVDs, showing surprising depth (though slightly less detail) in chapter 3 of the Phantom of the Opera DVD than did the PS3. In fact, the BDP-320 exhibited softer contrast and less detail than the PS3 in most of our tests (other than Good Night and Good Luck). This tendency hurt the image in a dark scene (chapter 20) from The Searchers: The BDP-320 made the low-contrast scene feel comparatively flat and lifeless. The BDP-320 even outputs a good-looking image before you put in a disc, thanks to its simple, direct onscreen menu design featuring white text on a black background with blue and gray highlighting.

Product Survey: Blu-ray Players

The Pioneer BDP-320 has been on sale since June 2009. It stands out thanks to DiVX compatability and a sober, elegant design… the Pioneer stamp. Although the BDP-320 is positioned as a mid-range player, we were disappointed to see that it is not as well equipped as it could be. Connectivity is limited to an HDMI 1.3 socket, YUV outs, composite, stereo and optical outs and Ethernet and USB. Moreover you can’t use the USB to read multimedia files as it has only been designed for BD-Live functionality. You have to plug in a USB that is at least 1 GB in size if you want to use BD-Live. You can’t use the Ethernet socket, that functions with BD-Live, to access files stocked on the local network (computer, server etc). It is important to underline this as some descriptions or tests on the internet are misleading on this point. We would have liked to see twice the digital audio optical/coaxial connectivity, as well as analogue 7.1 audio outs. The menus are easy to use and the design is in keeping with current trends. As with many TVs and Blu-ray players, there is a certain delay in comparison with the graphics interfaces of products that are truly adapted to current software potential.
