Good enough picture and audio quality. Lacks some basic things., December 28, 2007 By Octavio (Santiago, Chile) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player (Electronics) It lacks support for streaming DTS-HD Master Audio over HDMI. It downgrades that signal to regular DTS.
It supports BD-ROM Profile 1 only, although the player started selling after October 31st, so it should support Profile 1.1. I don't think that can be upgradeable by changing the firmware.
Load time is very slow. Around 1.5 minute from pressing standby button to the moment you see an image on the screen.
Remote is not backlit. If you don't memorize where the buttons are on the remote you have to turn on the lights to operate it when watching a movie in a dark room.
The Display function only shows time elapsed of the title, but not time left.
Cover is not as blue as the picture suggests, but almost black.
As I have noticed in different audio/video stores, picture quality is the same than cheaper model Sony BDP-S300 and Samsung or Panasonic players.
BRAVIA Theatre Sync (HDMI-CEC) is very useful, very nice... Read more
23 of 25 people found the following review helpful Good but could have been better, February 3, 2008 By This review is from: Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player (Electronics) I decided to acquire a BD player that was able to decode HD Audio like Dolby True-HD. I therefore traded in my BDP S300 and exchanged it for the higher end model - the BDP S500.
Despite preferring HD DVD formatwise, I really wanted to be able to experience the best of all films in Hi Def and that meant going purple and getting both formats.
The drawbacks of the BDP S500 are primarily that it is a Profile 1.0 BD standalone player. Blu-ray is an incomplete format, rushed onto the market so as not to be left behind by HD DVD which is a completely finished Hi Def format.
There are two further Profiles that are forthcoming for Blu-ray players:
Profile 1.1 sees the introduction of extras such as picture in picture etc that are available on HD DVD players but are not available on Blu-ray until very recently, with the introduction of a few players like the Panasonic DMP BDK30.
The other is Profile 2.0 which has not yet been introduced and at this time there is... Read more

Needs Work, January 21, 2008 By This review is from: Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player (Electronics) First off, I like Sony products. I have a Bravia TV. All my video cameras are Sony bla bla bla.
OK I Bought my BDP-S500 on Jan 11, 2008. I took it home, put in Spiderman III. It went into load mode for 5 min, 10 min, 45 min. So I reread the instruction. Reset the machine, unpluged it etc. Same thing...
That night I went to best buy and bought Blade Runner. It Works, Cool great show, except don't hit chapter fwd or back. The machine shuts down and resets itself. The next morning I called Sony product support. They said, "Oh Yea, you need to do a firm ware upgrade.... We will send you a disk by return mail". Two days later a disk from Sony is in my mail box. I installed it per the instructions. It took thirty Min, and the end it gave the code that everything was OK. Happily I reloaded Spiderman. Nope didn't work, Bladerunner stills plays, and DOES NOT shut down on fwd or reverse. But now trying to go to System Menu shuts everything down. When I returned it to the store (Fry's)... Read more
