Connectivity on the BDP-S300 is about what you would expect for a budget offering. High Definition video (up to 1080p) as well as audio are catered for with the single HDMI output. There is a component video output that can display video from Blu-ray discs in HD, along with S-Video and composite outputs.

Those of you who are planning to maintain your existing DVD collection will be pleased to know that the BDP-S300 will play and even upscale standard definition DVD's. The BDP-S300 can also play audio CDs, MP3 and JPEG files burned on CDs and DVDs.

The Sony BDP-S300 may fall a little short in the features department, but in the most important area, picture quality, it delivers. Things take a little time to get going (around a minute from power on to film start), but its worth the wait with excellent high definition images.
