Sony BDP-S480 review

Sony's BDP-S570 player was a runaway hit during 2010, hoovering up more awards than the clean-up crew at the BAFTAs – so the closely related BDP-S480 follow-up has a lot to live up to. Cosmetically, it's only marginally different from its forebear. The player is extremely thin with a cute curvy front fascia and a stumpy little remote. The latter doesn't look particularly natty, but it feels fine in the hand. Don't lose it – the buttons on the BDP-S480's front panel are so small you may never find them. Speed demon Last year's Sony players offered the fastest disc-loading times in their class. This year's models are bit more ponderous, although our Tech Labs recorded a boot-up time of only two seconds. The player also speeds ahead with its online connectivity. The familiar Sony XrossMediaBar seamlessly integrates with the brand's Bravia Internet Video portal, offering up a long list of Video on Demand TV services. Unlike many of its rivals, Sony hasn't really embraced the concept of downloadable apps. Instead its virtual shelves are stocked with copious amounts of IPTV content – and for telly addicts and AVholics this is really good news. Once connected to the 'net, there's a massive choice of stuff to peruse.

Reviews: Blu-ray Players

The Sony BDP-S480 is an entry level 3D compatible player. In spite of budget pricing it has all the most common ins/outs and numerous features. It offers, for example, BD Live support and DLNA 1.5 via the Ethernet socket as well as wi-fi (optional). With a black metal lacquered design, the Sony S480 has a simple and elegant look. Sony has also worked on its compactness to reduce depth to 19.9 cm, which means it'll fit into almost any TV furniture you have. There's an On/Off button at the front on the extreme right hand side. Next you'll find the Blu-ray disk slot, the eject, play and stop buttons. Two USB ports are available, one at the front on the far right and the other at the back, which means you can link up a storage peripheral (1 GB minimum) to download data for BD Live or playback video, music and audio files using the built-in media player. You'll find the rather reduced but sufficient connectivity at the back: HDMI, component, composite, coaxial digital audio out, stereo analogue audio out and Ethernet port. This is a very rapid player. It comes out of standby in just two seconds and the first Blu-ray images take 23 seconds to display.
