Key Technologies
Full HD 1080p video output
 
Full HD 1080p video output provides high-resolution HD images so you can take full 
advantage of your HDTV and the detail of Blu-ray Disc™  video content. BD/DVD/CD and AVCHDTM compatibility lets 
you play your favorite Blu-ray Disc™  movies, DVDs, audio CDs, and AVCHD-format discs.
DVD Upscaling via HDMI™  technology
 
DVD Upscaling via HDMI™
makes your existing standard DVDs look 
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.)
Support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby® and dts®
 
The BDP-S360 Blu-ray Disc™  player supports 
both internal decoding and bitstream output 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.
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.
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.
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 
storage capacity and lets you take advantage of specially created content on BD-Live™
with compatible Blu-ray 
Disc™  media.
