Dolby TrueHD and dts HD
In the past, most audio codecs used compression that actually removes some sound data to transmit audio from the disc to the audio circuitry. This means that what you hear is a subset of the original audio. However, newer formats allow the audio to be compressed but not discarded, allowing the original audio to come through once it’s been decoded. This player allows you to stream the audio out via HDMI to a capable receiver for maximum compatibility with high end receivers.

Quick Start Mode
Quick Start Mode lets you begin operating your Sony Blu-ray Disc player approximately six seconds from the time it’s powered on.

DVD Upscaling via HDMI technology
DVD Upscaling via HDMI makes your existing standard DVDs look better on your HDTV by upscaling them to near HD quality.

Precision Cinema HD Upscale circuitry
Delivers accurate and vivid images with clarity and detail that are faithful to the source–whether film or video (upscaled image quality will vary). This circuitry uses advanced conversion and processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. Additionally, separate algorithms are used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.

Easy Wi-Fi setup
In addition to a built-in Ethernet port, the BDP-N460 includes built-in software that makes it easy to connect this player to your existing wireless network by pairing the optional Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge (WET-610N) to connect to your home router (each sold separately). Or you can use the built-in Ethernet port to use a wired connection.

THE PROS:

THE CONS:
