If you're looking for an interactive entertainer, the Sony BDP-S780 3D Blu-ray Disc Player has you covered. From 3D entertainment in stunning HD to Skype video capabilities and online streaming, this disc player can keep you connected and entertained.
Enjoy a cinema-like 3D experience in your own home just by adding a few Blu-ray 3D discs and the necessary 3D accessories. If you don't have any 3D content, don't worry. This disc player can upconvert your 2D content to simulated 3D so you can still enjoy realistic, wraparound visuals.
But even before popping in a DVD or Blu-ray disc, you can take advantage of built-in Wi-Fi by connecting to your home network connection to access online streaming and BD Live. BRAVIA internet apps like Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, and HuluPlus can widen your options and BD Live gives you access to interactive extras. This disc player also has built-in I/P noise reduction, so you can enjoy crisp, clear images even from internet entertainment.
Stay connected to friends and family through Skype, because now you can see them in real-time on your HDTV screen thanks to the BDP-S780. You can also command your entertainment from your mobile device by downloading the free Remote Media app to your iPhone, iPad or compatible Android phone. That means in between taking phone calls and texting you can use your phone as a versatile system remote to control your entertainment from the couch.
With support for advanced audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, you can create detailed, immersive audio that's just as compelling as the video produced by this disc player. These formats are found on many Blu-ray and DVD discs, and allow for lossless multi-channel audio. So if you have a surround sound setup, this player can decode these formats to give you high fidelity sound to complete your home theater experience.
Party Streaming mode makes it possible to sync up speakers in multiple rooms so you can enjoy homewide audio. You can also connect a USB-enabled device to enjoy photos, music and video files via one of the USB ports. All of these entertainment features are packed into a slim chassis, standing at just about 2 inches tall and offering a sleek black finish to blend with any home theater setup.
- The Wonder of 3D Entertainment
- The wonder of 3D entertainment can be a reality in your own home. Take advantage of immersive, wraparound visuals that reach out to draw you into the action of your favorite movies. Along with a 3D HDTV or home theater projector, 3D glasses, and a 3D-ready cable, you're all set to begin your journey into the world of 3D home entertainment. Since this player also supports 2D to 3D conversion, you won't be left out even if you don't have any 3D content yet. It can create simulated 3D from 2D sources, so you can still take advantage of wraparound 3D visuals.
- Full HD 1080p
- Blu-ray discs offer up to five times the resolution of DVDs with 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, progressively scanned. The BDP-S780 can play your Blu-ray discs in stunning full HD 1080p resolution to create some of the most startling, detailed images available whether you're enjoying 3D or 2D entertainment.
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- This disc player offers built-in Wi-Fi, so you can connect it to your home network connection to get access to all it has to offer with online streaming and BD Live extras. Since it has built-in Wi-Fi capability, it can connect right out of the box without the need for an adapter.
- BRAVIA Internet Apps
- Once you're connected to the internet, you've just opened the door to a slew of entertainment options. You can instantly stream online movies, videos, TV shows, music and live sports from various free and subscription-based services like Netflix, YouTube, HuluPlus, and Pandora customized internet radio.
- BD Live (Profile 2.0) w/ BONUSVIEW
- An internet connection also lets you take advantage of the interactive extras available with many Blu-ray discs, called BD Live. These can include interactive chats, quizzes, games, and even previews. With this disc player you can go online to download and view these extras when they are available for the disc you are watching. With the BONUSVIEW function, you can view two sources simultaneously with a picture-in-picture display.
- Skype Video Calls
- Enjoy video conferencing from your living room using BDP-S780's integrated Skype service. Simply plug in a compatible camera and you're ready to stay connected to friends and family from the comfort of your couch.
- Mobile Device Remote Control
- After you download the free Media Remote app to your iPhone, iPad or compatible Android phone, you can command the BDP-S780 using your phone. The app offers basic remote functions and a full Qwerty keyboard. You can even search for more information about the movies you are watching on YouTube and Wikipedia and allow you to share information with friends via Twitter.
- Gracenote Metadata Service
- Gracenote gives you access to detailed information about the movies you are watching and lets you search across select internet apps, including YouTube and Qriocity, to find additional related entertainment.
- Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
- If your goal is to recreate the theater in your home, you know that high definition video is only half the experience. You need high resolution audio, and luckily the BDP-S780 supports audio processing of advanced Dolby and DTS audio formats found on many Blu-ray and DVD discs. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio let you reproduce sound with 7.1 channels of discrete audio so you can enjoy high fidelity audio to accompany your favorite movies.
- Two USB Ports
- This disc player offers not one, but two USB inputs; one in the front, one in the rear. That means you can conveniently share your videos or photos on your HDTV screen or listen to your favorite music by connecting your digital camera, USB-enabled MP3 player or USB storage device.
- DLNA Certified for Network File Sharing
- A DLNA certification means you can easily share files between your PC, network attached storage (NAS), compatible smartphone and your new Blu-ray player. That makes it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite photos, music and videos on your home network.
- PartyStreaming Capable
- The convenience of homewide audio can be yours. This disc player supports multi-room music with PartyStreaming mode, so you can wirelessly stream music throughout your home if you have compatible Sony HomeShare network speakers (SA-NS400 and SA-NS300).
- Quick Start / Load Function
- Settle in and get ready for the show, because the BDP-S780 offers quick loading and start times, so you don't have to wait to enjoy the theater experience in your own living room.

Comments about Sony BDP-S780 3D Blu-ray Disc Player:
I use the DDP-S780 mostly for watching Blu-Rays, but there are a whole lot of different things you can use it for. Coupled with a sony HD webcam, you can skype with your relatives from the comfort of your living room.
There is also netflix that you have direct access to with a single press of a button.
There is also the convenient "home" button which will take you to the main menu, which will make PlayStation 3 users feel right at home.
Great purchase, I reccomend it completely. There is also a 3D feature, that I havent used yet, since I only own a 2D television.

Comments about Sony BDP-S780 3D Blu-ray Disc Player:
Typical Sony quality. The built-in network features are great, just ensure you either have it hardwired via an ethernet line, or a modern hi-speed wireless router. Otherwise, expect choppy streaming from on-line services.

Comments about Sony BDP-S780 3D Blu-ray Disc Player:
This Blu-ray disc player is a welcome upgrade from my past Sony player. It is feature rich which is what attracted me to this product, in particular I was most interested in the new addition of Skype video calling by adding the HD Camera (CMUBR100). The device also ships with built-in wireless eliminating the need to purchase an adaptor which would take up space within my entertainment unit. Setup was very quick and easy, the unit looks great it has a nice glossy finish. The BDP-S780 loads faster than my old unit, you can even set it for fast loading, however, this keeps the fan running and can become bothersome in a small quiet room overnight, however for me I like to power everything off when it is not in use to save energy and hopefully gain longer life from my hardware. The 3D quality is what you would expect from a quality Sony product and on my 240hz LED Bravia TV the image runs very smoothly across the screen. Yet another great feature Sony has added to many of their TV and Blu-Ray products is the ability to access network connected media without connecting your PC to the TV via HDMI or burning dvd's to view movies, listen to music, display pictures or view a presentation, as soon as I connected the unit I could see my Sony Vaio Z series laptop displayed on screen via the network, I was then able to view all media content wirelessly while the laptop was on its docking station in the study. Sony have also added an Internet browser into the mix and from my testing I have been able to browse sites such as Facebook, news and my work emails without any issues, the speed is fast, not quite as fast as my laptop but great for a standalone unit, which, again, saves me from using my laptop. The Skype video calls are amazing quality and my family are in the process of purchasing the BDP-S780 and HD camera so we can talk in real time whilst sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee in our hand. A great Blu-Ray player and well-priced compared to others with similar features from Panasonic and Samsung.
