Tigerland

It comes with a standard def. RCA red/white/yellow phono plug, which is just plain stupid because RCA tigerland plugs won t deliver HD content. So, plan to buy an HDMI connector and a wireless adapter. After reading reviews and comments I skipped the wireless adapter and hardwired the player into my router with the ethernet cable. Also, make sure you get a high speed or better hdmi cable. Not all hdmi cables are created equal. The unit doesn t have a great deal of rear panel connectivity. None of them have much. You have the phono plug RCA outputs, an ethernet connection, an optical digital audio output, a flash memory connection, a USB input on the front panel, component out, and the HDMI output. I wish the unit came with a monitor out so you could connect it to a small monitor. In order for the player to provide full functionality as advertised it needs to have memory installed via a flash memory card. I don t use it because I really don t care about the BD-plus content. If you want the additional BD content you need to buy a flash memory card and plug it in. It s not that much money. Other people here have complained about the Netflix stream not being as good as the stream through a Roku box. I concur fully. I am watching content at 7 mbps and I can watch a tigerland movie without buffering on the Roku. The BDN460 needs to buffer and the picture isn t half as good. In fact, I don t use the BDN 460 for any Netflix viewing. I use my Roku box. Other web content offered on the BDN460 Youtube is great. In order to get full Web streaming functionality from the BDN460 you need to have a connect speed of over 5 mbps and probably you should have at least 10 mbps. You won t get an HD stream with any less and I suspect this is the problem with some people who complain about their Netflix stream through the unit. Netflix and Roku will provide perfectly watchable Standard Def content at under 2 mbps. It s possible that a Sony software update will fix this problem. Figuring out how to connect the optical audio cable through your A/V receiver is no easy task. There are software switches that tigerland to be set and I haven t figured out how to get it to work yet. I m listening to standard def Digital Surround audio via the RCA phono plugs. It s fine but it s not what I want. Ideally, you should have a A/V receiver with HDMI inputs and outputs. This way you will get the high def audio automatically. I have an older A/V receiver that doesn t have hdmi inputs/outputs. Basically, a very good player. Quiet. Full-featured.
