DVD Upscaling via HDMI™ technology DVD Upscaling via HDMI™ makes your existing standard DVDs look
2
better on your HDTV by upscaling them to near HD quality.

BD-Live™ Technology BD-Live™ technology brings you the next generation of interactivity, allowing you to connect
to the internet to access bonus features on BD-Live enabled Blu-ray Disc™ movies, including additional scenes, shorts,
trailers, movie-based games, and more. (External memory (sold separately) is required.)1

Support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby® and dts® The BDP-S360 Blu-ray Disc™ player supports
both internal decoding and bitstream output2 of enhanced audio codecs, including Dolby® TrueHD and dts®-HD
Master Audio. These high definition audio formats delivers “lossless” surround sounds with 7.1 channels of discrete
audio that is bit-for-bit identical to the master studio recording, allowing you to enjoy uncompromised sound from the
comfort of your living room.

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.

Xross Media Bar™ technology Sony’s exclusive xross media bar user interface makes it simple and intuitive to
navigate television menus, controls, and user settings.

Ethernet port The ethernet port lets you connect the BDP-S360 to your home’s existing broadband network to
access bonus features on BD-Live enabled Blu-ray Disc™ movies.1

x.v.Color™ output x.v.Color™ output plays AVCHD-format discs with support for the international xvYCC color
standard, producing images with nearly twice as many viewable colors as the existing RGB color standard.4

BRAVIA® Sync™ BRAVIA® Sync™ technology lets you enjoy the convenience of one remote control to operate and
control all your compatible home entertainment devices. It utilizes the HDMI™ CEC function to easily turn on and
control your compatible HDMI-connected components without having to use multiple remote controls.

24p True Cinema™ 24p True Cinema technology lets you watch films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second)
-- the way movies are shot and mastered -- so you can enjoy cinematic picture quality.5

Precision Cinema HD Upscale 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.

Bonus View Built-in USB port enables you to connect a portable USB storage device (sold separately) for additional
1
storage capacity and lets you take advantage of specially created content on BD-Live™ with compatible Blu-ray
Disc™ media.
