Why is so important DLNA support on blurays driver? i was trying to pick from BDV-S370 and BDV-S570, i realized boths have the same features, but S570 is DLNA support, well it means i can plug in every DLNA devices like PS3 and Pc to my TV, in order to stream videos and photos, but i think that isn't a issues when bluray driver is about, anyway, why should i want to stream from my Pc to Bluray driver?? or from PS3, or even from TV to a Bluray driver as the SONY BDV-S570?? the most important device to be DLNA would be just the TV cause is the receiver, and my TV already is DLNA, wifi built in, i watch youtube video, i can watch downloaded blurays movies, so bluray drive is just to play disc. That's why i think BDV-S570 doesn't worth the extra 100 USD. or im wrong??

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

i understand but that isn't an issues while i got a DLNA Sony TV, so it seems BDV-S370 is the best option unless BDV-S570 would be able to increase the quality from my downloaded movies, then it would be a great investment.HOWEVER, SONY web says clearly that BDV-S370 does have DNLA support, so i demand to AMAZON.COM to confirm this information in order to give the best customer services.

Yeah, I'm late.....But if any new buyers are juggling this topic, I've discovered some information from researching Blu-Ray HTiB's for well over a year. In regards to the differences in the two models, the 570 can produce a stronger, crisper sound than the 370. The 570 also has built-in WiFi, you have to purchase a separate component to stream content, wireless, to the 370. The DLNA support for the 370 had been of and on, so its caused confusion. It currently supports it with the latest update.

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA. The problem is the same as I have with my PS3. There's no decent way to skip forward and backward.What I don't know is the cause. I don't expect a solution, and I know the problem is at the server end, but I don't know why the problem exists there.The solution to my problem was to build my own box for about $200. I now have something that's bigger than the WD, but it runs Windows 7 and gives all the streaming options I need, including using Media Center directly. It's not a solution for everybody, and the cost reflected using an HD and optical drive I already had. Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA.

Most likely you will have to buy Sony's own Wifi Adapter:Sony USB Wi-Fi AdapterAt least that is true for Sony BDP-BX37 1080p Upscaling Blu-ray Disc DVD Player w/HDMI, LAN & USB from what all the reviews are saying.Sorry for the bad news. Hope you have a happy New Year!

Amazon emailed me to answer this question. I was very dissapointed in the LG BP06LU10. I cannot answer the question. I returned the LG BP06LU10 since it would not playback BluRay discs even though it would burn them. LG tech support was useless to resolve the issue and their solution was to spend another $100 for additional software from Cyberlink, and they couldn't tell me if it would then playback BluRay. The vendor just refered me to LG support so I returned the drive and got a refund. You might find support at Lightscribe.com, the inventors of the technology. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It supports the 3d format that bluray uses only (works with ps3). In addition, supports side by side 720p when you press the button (pc usage).

I just bought a 3D TV (Samsung PN59D550). I have the Sony bdp-s570 plugged directly into the TV via HDMI, and when I tried to play Bolt 3D, I get the black screen with the message that the set up is not 3D capable and that I should ensure that my blu ray player is hooked up to a 3D capable device via HDMI. I don't get it. Any one else have any suggestions on how to make this work? I don't want to go buy another Blu Ray player, but I am thinking of buying a Samsung BluRay player to ensure compatibility between the two. This is frustrating.

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk.I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

I don't see what the wi-fi adaptor has to do with your choice of cd/dvd player. The Sony TV MUST have a Sony wiFi adaptor though, other brands do not seem to work. The Sony wifi adaptor has a pretty crappy antenna, and needs to be pretty close to your wifi router to get a good signal. I would guess you have your BluRay connected to a central receiver/amplifier with physical cable?

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.

No because is a bluray player. You can use it out of the box. Any driver you need it'll install automatically as long as you are on line. Hope this helps you.

Product information on Amazon site is incorrect. The product box or LG website does NOT list NetCast as a supported feature. Instead what is listed on BD530 product box is "Network Entertainment Access" which is obviously a reduced functionality than "Netcast Entertainment Access", only YouTube, Picasa and AccuWeather applications are supported. LG website lists "Internet Entertainment Access" at http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-blu-ray-dvd-player-BD530.jsp

Yes, and it works fine for watching BD even when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. If you plan to burn BluRay then you would would be more within spec using a USB 3.0 port, but my Vantec came with a USB 2.0 cable which is what I tested BlueRay playing with using the USB 2.0 port. The SATA 3 motherboard connectors are only marginally faster than USB 3.0 (6MB/sec vs. 5 MB/Sec).

In response to the "invalid file" message; I have both the Playon server and Tversity server running on a brand new quad core PC that is connected via a gigabyte network to a PS3, and (in another room) a Wii . Since the early beta stages of Playon I have had the same 'not found' error occur somewhat randomly. Usually immideately after a version update and reset things run smooth, but only for a brief time. At least I know its not the hardware malfunctioning now. I am also looking for a dedicated media system for each of my HD TV's. The ideal solution would be something somewhat simple and 'kid friendly' to use. On a side note for those that use Netflix streaming; I would caution anyone from using the Netflix disks for regular use. After a couple of months of using the Netflix streaming disk for the PS3, the constant read/write cycles have all but fried the blue-ray drive on my ps3. I cant wait till the software can be installed on these 'supported' gaming systems.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

Yes, it does support DLNA. It can play from any UPnP server on your network, such as Windows Media Player.
