Sony BDP-S6200 Blu-ray Player Review

One of the highlighted features of this Blu-ray player is its dual core processor. For the most part, consumers have accepted long load times and a lagging responsiveness as an inherent part of the overall Blu-ray player experience. Sony&promotion of a modern processing unit in their top tier Blu-ray player set my expectations high. Over the last two years their Blu-ray players have noticeably increased in speed but those increases have been incremental and not necessarily praise worthy. In a head-to-head comparison with the BDP-S5100 the BDP-S6200 loaded disc about 2 seconds or about 20 percent faster. Sony has removed all analog connections with the BDP-S6200. This is the second year where Sony has decided to discontinue the addition of analog connections on their Blu-ray players. For audio out, this model uses the HDMI and Digital jacks. These digital audio connections transmit stereo or up to 7.1 surround sound. It comes with Super Wi-Fi or 802.11 b/g/n, speedy enough for 1080p or 4K video streaming. If you use this connection you will want to minimize the number of walls between your WiFi router and the BDP-S6200. When it comes to a consistent unhindered viewing experience, using this connection works best. The local area network or LAN port allows you to connect the Blu-ray player directly to you cable or DSL modem. There are two USB ports, one on the back and the other on the front. You will need to have a USB drive plugged in for the BDP-S6200 to store...
