I am impressed with how easy this set up.
I connected wirelessly with great ease
This works great for streaming Netflix (this product really adds great value to my Netflix account)
Start up time is quick compared to other Blu-Ray players I have had.
I have it connected to Sony STR-DH800 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver (Black)the set up was extremely quick and easy (I changed both the Blu-Ray player and the receiver and still the set up was extremely quick).
I am using Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control. The programming was extremely easy and the remote was able to pick up all the Sony commands without needing extra steps.

I purchased the Sony BDP-BX57 at COSTCO. The unit is easy to set up. I hooked it up via the included HDMI cable to my 37″ Vizio. I had no problem in connecting wireless to my Netgear router. I haven’t tried Netflix but had no problem in connecting with Pandora and Amazon On-Demand, as well as UTube.
It enhances my DVDs; very satisfied. I only have 1 Blu-Ray – Invictus with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. It loaded immediately and played flawlessly.

Opening up the box was a rather simple process. There was not a lot of real thick tape to have to cut through, there was no special way of opening up the box. One thing that I did notice was a note left by Sony letting me know that there will be an update to the player so it can read the new and upcoming 3D.
The set up was fairly quick and easy, except when I tried to use the systems WEP. I could not get the Sony to accept my “key”. I do have a hub sitting right next to my television, so this was not really a problem. I did not spend much time trying to trouble shoot this problem. I have read in many places that the wireless set up is easy, so perhaps it was user error. After connecting the unit to the hub, I instantly went over and down loaded a system update and activated some network enhance features which I think gave me some extra on line content. I went to the Sony web site to register my product to receive the enhanced feature and my model number was not listed. I guess I may have to try again at a later date.
Playing from a USB device. This was a great bonus feature for me that I was really looking forward too. To finally have one device that will play video content from a network, USB and internet could be a dream come true. I plugged my Maxtor 750GB USB drive into the Sony player and the decive was noticed by the Sony. I scrolled over to the device under and… the USB device is not supported. Bummer.
Next I demo tried the Amazon video on demand service. Amazon VOD has been a thorn in my side for some time. I have never been able to find a device that will stream . Basically I have only tried PlayOn. I have twelve movies that I have purchased from Amazon VOD and they all seem to work pretty good. There is a delay as the system buffers and test the bandwidth but not too bad.
Now onto Netflix. After an easy activation process (I hope you have a wireless laptop when you do this) My instant queue was brought right up. Not sure how Netflix knows who I am, but hey it was fast and easy. When starting a movie , the bandwidth was tested and buffered. Video quality is not the best, and only your instant queue shows up so you will need to keep a computer handy for browsing the movie selections.
The internet radio works really well too.
I did not review the play back speed or quality. There are plenty of reviews on that.
The reason for the 3 stars is the fact that I could not play any content from my USB drive, and no streaming from connected DNLA services.

This is the Costco version of the Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray Disc Player. This comes with a free HDMI cable in the box and Costco’s 90 day return policy if you buy from them. Otherwise just go for the BDP-570 from Amazon. This is a pretty sleek looking player, even the start button blends into the face, it is pretty light too and you can easily stack it on all your other equipment.
The greatest asset of this player is the multiple video streaming options it gives you from different services. Netflix, Amazon On Demand, Pandora, NPR, YouTube and other channels like Wired, Epicurious, Style, Michael Jackson, Dr. Oz, Howcast, eHow, Golflink and more. The list goes on. The interface is much better than Panasonic as that just opened up a window on my screen for Youtube videos while this player fills up the screen. It seems more compatible with my Panasonic HDTV than the Panny Blu-Ray player.
This player is 3D ready although I don’t have a 3D TV yet. There is a network update you have to perform to use it. The wireless set up is pretty easy through the interface and guides you step by step.
The start up is quick, it has an option for even quicker start up but it consumes more power. The upscaling is pretty good. I docked one star as the Netflix streaming is still slow, although that may be due to Netflix than the player. The streaming is definitely better than through my Wii.
If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone download the free BD Remote app. I can never find my remotes and it comes in very handy and has a very cool interface where you just slide your finger along the screen rather than having to press buttons. There are many screens on the app that allow you to work all the controls on the player.
