How to stream to Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray player?




Patrick


I just finished setting up my Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray player and I want to stream files from my Windows 7 computer to it. The computer is wired to the network and the BDP-BX57 is wireless. How do I setup file sharing to it?

Thanks!



Answer
You use the windows media player, to stream files set the player up to share files with the public also set the network up for file share...also you have to have a wireless router installed if not you need to run an either net cable from the network router to the Blu ray player depending on what router you have......the blu ray will need to be detected by the network and may need a pass word to install depending on the router, check the network settings on your computer and also follow instructions on the TV screen for the blu ray....

Should I buy a SP3 blu-ray player or the Sony stand alone blu-ray player?

I am interested in getting a blu-ray player and confused as to which one to buy! Which would produce better sound and image quality? I like the idea of the SP3 to play games on as well, but I'm not totally sure I would use it a lot to play games. Right now, the price for either seems to be about the same, so I am torn - please help! Thanks for your input!


Answer
As of today the ONLY Blu-ray player worth buying is the the PS3 ... if you don't want a games machine or want the style of a stand alone player wait for the Profile 2.0 machines later this summer.

BUT before buiyng make sure you can benefit from Blu-ray or that the improvement is worth the ~$8-$10 higher price of disks (don't expect current sale prices to continue ... they are artificial) and cost of the hardware. For many people Blu-ray is not a significant improvement over upconverted DVD. At the least you MUST have an HDMI equipped HDTV (and preferably a 1080p model over 40") ... not to mention the need for a good audio system to take advantage of the advanced audio.

It's a lot of money ... so I suggest you get a demo on an HDTV as similar as possible to yours (size, resolution) AND watch from the same distance as you will use at home. Compare a DVD and Blu-Ray disk (preferably the same movie) --- don't just watch a Blu-ray demo disk they are often HD video totally unrepresentative of what you will see on movies.
