Because they can't assume your wireless is using WP bloomin A and not WE bloomin P
Glad you're sorted now though

ha ha yep all set up now. I have noticed a on some scenes a little jerkiness on panning shots. One inparticluar is the final shots in transformers where it pans back as optimus prime is closing out the movie...... hmmmmm
Im Impressed with the colour palette the most over the BD35. All other improvements seem incremental to be honest (i have only watched a few minutes though)

I would be very interested to hear from you how much better the Sony is to the BD35. Perhaps you could do a mini-review?

How are you finding the picture settings? I found standard a bit darker than my BD30. I have SBM on, Enhance set to off with Smoothing set to standard. I would be interested to know what settings you are running on and your impressions.

le_vicar:I found standard a bit darker than my BD30.
Interesting that. I've replaced my sterling Tosh DVD with the 760 and with DVD's seen a considerably darker picture. Too dark really as detail has gone missing. I reckon I need to recalibrate my setup (time willing).
I've only tried some test scenes from Die Hard 4.0 so far - not exactly a definitive verdict!

Many glowing reviews on this player, and I'll certainly be having a look at it.
I think this statement sums it up for the S760 - It is a reference machine for the budget conscious.

On the face of it i wouldnt say it was that much of and upgrade over the BD35, especially given that you have to shell out 330 notes for the upgrade (if you are keeping your BD35). For me the differences between the two are not really noticeable apart from the darkness that the sony plays disks back at, which in turn i think gives a richer pallette. Whether this is a cheat or not i dont know. When i demoed the denon bt2500 against the bd 35 the differences in both sound and PQ were much greater and noticeable. The denon didnt make things darker it made things clearer, less noisey, and wonderfully defined and detailed. I think that untill you can get the same performance from a player at this price level that you do from the denon in both PQ and sound then its not really worth upgrading and spending hundreds to do so. I have only spent a limited time watching though (as stated above) and i will have a proper play around when i have time and do some direct A-B comparison with the mrs (she will be pleased) as i think it helps to have a couple of people looking at things. But these are my initial thoughts on it. (it is worth noting that this player has gained "reference" ratings for PQ though so what do i know!)
It does however look much better than the BD 35 in the rack

Cheers mate! Well said. Clare has confirmed that in terms of pure picture and sound quality, the Denon DVD-2500BT stil pips the Sony BDP-S760.
That's another player on my list!

If you are ok with the denons shortcomings then it should be top of your list, especially as you can get it for less than 500 notes too! Its a beast of thing and needs a lot of room.
ps: dvd playback on the denon is also stunning.

Got my 760 home last night, only tried DVDs in it (waiting for the BDs to be delivered) but it looks VERY good. I didn't notice it to be especially dark.
Anyone got any recommendations for what all the picture settings should be set to? The TV's a KRP-500a.

My dad's got a pioneer plasma and just uses the factory settings - very good.

gel: Really the first blu ray player you brought
Yeah, I've not had the TV that long, that was my first HDTV, so I didn't see much point buying Blu-Ray before.

On the TV he has a pioneer 427xd a code something like that it's the 42 inch one.
Factory settings for tv.
With the blu ray player he has got a pioneer 71 and the pioneer plasma automatically does the hdmi conversion in the Setup.
Other than that he has not messed with the setting on the blu ray player either.
