Customer Reviews: Sony BDPS1100 Smart Blu-ray Disc Player
Was really pleased with my Bly ray player got a lot more than I expected with access to all the apps - still funding my way arounf
Plays mp4, mkv, avi files from usb without any noticeable problems. Hdmi and coaxial for sound. No optical out, but the coaxial will provide up to 5.1dts if the amp supports it. I have not noticed any disc whirring like other players. There is no wifi but can be networked to a router. You will need to register the player through SEN to watch premium content like lovefilm, but that worked seamlessly for me. The lovefilm player is okay but a bit basic. Can't comment on the other services as not used them. The price and functionality are just right for me so no major complaints.

Very user friendly, well designed blu ray player. Fast to boot up and navigate around. Network features are great, no wifi but in my experience its rarely fast enough to support such features. Has co axial audio output. Like it a lot!

This was bought for my wife when her (Sony) DVD player died. It had been used very heavily for many years and owed us nothing.
This Sony Blu-ray player was just the job; small, discreet and very easy to set up and pairs up with the Sony TV set. Great upscaling of the film noir collection we have and brilliant for Skyfall - the Blu-ray Disc we bought to show off the player.
Very happy with the player and usual fast delivery from Amazon on Prime.
Definite recommendation.
Undoubtedly a cut down model in terms of hardware, but lots of functionality for the money. You get streaming movie services like Lovefilm Instant, catch-up TV services like iPlayer, YouTube and some other stuff which is less useful (most of the "apps" seem particularly pointless). The user interfaces of the various services are functional rather than fancy (Lovefilm is much easier to navigate on PS3 for example).
There is a single USB socket at the front, allowing you to view photos and videos from a flash drive or even a portable hard drive. Unfortunately, there seems to be no DLNA support for streaming media from a computer or NAS.
As for missing features. I always wish these boxes had full featured web browsers so you could watch Sky Go and foreign TV but I guess politics will prevent that ever happening. As I store all my photos in Google+, and all my tunes in Google Play Music, apps to stream from these would be a useful addition.

These Bluray players get smaller all the time. This one, as you would expect from Sony, is a good quality entry level player and is ideal for use in a bedroom or home office with a smaller TV.
Picture and sound quality is good (on TV speakers, I haven't set it up with surround sound). As others have pointed out, it comes without an HDMI cable but these are cheap and easy enough to pick up these days and it keeps the price of the unit down. This gives you the option of buying a more expensive cable if you want one without having to buy the (inevitably) cheap one that would otherwise have been included.
One thing I really like is the upscaling of DVDs. Most Bluray players do this with mixed results but, particularly on the smaller (22") TV, programmes like Coast on DVD look spectacular.
So yes, I will keep my expensive home cinema system for my main telly and this well priced player will grace my second TV.

Bought this DVD player so I could access online content from lovefilm and it work great. I plugged it in via a rg45 cable and can access lovefilm, BBC I player, on demand 5 plus sonys own movie rental service. Would recommend.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
Having previously bought two different models of an earlier generation of Sony Blu-ray players, the current models offer several differences, the most obvious of which is a deviation from the long, flat box-designs that were common throughout and to many other brands. This series seems to have been largely influenced by US 'Stealth' weapons and employs irregular angles for the upper surfaces. The whole unit is much smaller than the immediately prior series and the angles employed are far more gentle than the illustrations appear to indicate.
The series currently includes this model, the BDP-S1100, and the S3100, S4100 and S5100 but strangely skips the S2100 designation. The lower two models share one design and the upper two a slightly different one. Whether the designs are required to accommodate some internals or are purely cosmetic is difficult to assess without disassembly. The reduction is size and different, unusually-shaped upper surface may offer minor problems with stacking and location, although the actual height is only very slightly more than the older series.
One common feature throughout this range is the 'Smart Network' connectivity although the S1100 includes an Ethernet port, but no internal WiFi or the ability to connect an adapter. This may limit location options, but to eliminate the possibility of extremely long Ethernet cables, an adapter that provides Ethernet over the power circuit (TP-Link among others offer such devices in pairs, one to transmit and another as receiver), will allow much shorter cables.
HDMI connectivity is common to all models although there is different functionality across the series. Digital co-axial output is another common feature which should support many TVs and home cinema audio. This is the most basic and least-heavily featured model of the range and does not include any 3D functionality. It will play all other forms of disk-based media but not necessarily all media files although it will supports music, movies and images in some formats. Playback of all supported media types via an external device, hard drive or memory stick, is available via the included USB socket and that is a feature common to all models. Some older models featured a front-mounted USB port plus another at the rear but that it is not repeated here.
All models are finished in piano black and there is no known silver option.
The design of this model (and the S3100) is bi-laterally identical, pleasing and sufficiently different from the usual and traditional boxy design to attract some buyers. However, it may also deter others not necessarily for any practical reason, but on aesthetics.
The remote control appears to be identical in form and function to those of the older series and operates from 2 AA batteries, which are provided. The on-screen menu system is similar for many Sony products and, once familiarised, becomes very logical and easy to use. Other than the fixed mains cable, you will need to provide your own Ethernet and HDMI cables to suit. HDMI cables were often provided in the past.
Output up to full HD (1920 x 1080) is supported and it will be up-rated if and where necessary. The series also supports Triluminos colour which, on supported TVs, provides an improved viewing experience. Currently, that feature is available on some Sony TVs. As previously stated, higher models support additional features and may include additional options for those that are common.
If experience with using other Sony Blu-ray players is a fair indicator, the on-screen image should be highly stable and of a very high quality from the outset and then improve slightly as it conditions. It should suit many users who do not need the 3D options and require a simpler to use, more basic Blu-ray/DVD player at a price to match.

I have owned a few Blu-ray players now. One from Samsung, one from LG and a couple of years old Sony.
This blows all of them out of the water.
The biggest problem I have with Blu-ray thus far is the time it takes to get a disc loaded and the film playing. This is the fastest player I've ever used and has played every blu-ray I've chucked at it and without a hitch. It isn't too noisy, either.
The internet apps are a bit of a gimmick to me, I've never really used them on my TV or current player. They work well enough here and the Internet connection ensures you're player will always be kept up to date.
The unit is very compact, the smallest player I've seen and a testament to how the technology has progressed over the last few years.
A great entry level unit from a trusted brand.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
This really is a small unit. It's about half the size of my (couple of years) old Philips BD player. The one thing I did not like about this is its odd angular shape. But you may not mind. In terms of performance, I would say it is very good. It's fast at loading (especially compared with the old Philips). Picture quality is good from BluRay discs, and excellent from DVDs (no doubt due to the upscaling). In fact I would recommend this just as a DVD player. Sound is satisfactory, quite OK for me. The internet options are rather limited, BBC iPlayer and You Tube being the two most people will use. This player does not have wifi so you have to use an Ethernet cable (not supplied; neither is an HDMI lead).
But this is very reasonably priced and the performance fine. I would recommend this. You can get fancier models, but you'll pay more.
