how to get internet on sony BDP-S270 blu-ray player?

Richard

I just got this blu-ray player at wal-mart and i want to get the internet up and running in it. The lady said it has WIFI but i cant seem to get it working. my PS3 works perfectly with the internet but the blu- ray player dosnt. Help please! Thank you

Answer
I just looked at the specs for your Sony-BDP-S270. Apparently that Blu-Ray DVD player does not have built in Wi-Fi. You would have to purchase a separate small wireless Wi-Fi adaptor plug that fits on the back of the dvd player in order to stream the internet from your wireless router (computer) to this dvd player so that you can use Netflix, Youtube etc.

Another way you can stream the internet on your blu-ray dvd player to use Netflix and Youtube is to connect a ethernet cable from your wireless router to the back of your Blu-Ray DVD player.

Remember that blu-ray dvd players do not have a browser to go on to websites on the internet. The internet is needed so that you can run netflix, pandora, youtube on your blu-ray dvd player.

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?

MissNowMrs

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.

How to connect my computer to my sony s370 blu ray player?

blu ray player sony image

Terri

I know that there is a way to connect my computer to stream to my sony s370 blu ray player. I would like to know if I would need a cable of some sort to connect them and if so what kind?
I've been looking this up for days and would love if someone could help me figure this out.

Thank you in advance.

Answer
What you have to do is get a router then you connect the Blu ray and the computer to the router using cat5 or cat 6 cable or you could also go wireless if you have the proper adapters and equipment for that and then you create a network, for the computer and the blu ray, most routers will do this fairly easily using an included disk that you insert into the computer, the network is also connected to the Internet, the blu ray does not have a browser so you cannot go any where on the internet nor can you transfer anything you want from your computer, the blu ray is limited to certain sites on the Internet it can visit and certain things it can do. The blu ray will not connect directly to your computer but I think there may be a way to send still photos from the computer to the blu ray that will appear on the TV screen.

How to connect my Sony Blu-Ray player to the internet?

Amanda S

I want to hook my Sony Blu-Ray player up to the internet so I can watch Netflix on my TV. I have looked up how to do that, but all of the videos and websites say to choose the option of a built-in wireless connection. When I go into the Network Settings and click on Internet Settings, the only connection option that comes up in wired. How can I fix this and set up a wireless connection?

Answer
If your Blu-Ray player doesn't have onboard wireless capability, you must go with the wired. Netflix won't mind.
