LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player Review


Like others, I had a problem with sound synchronization on some (not all) blu-ray discs. There was no such problem when I played the same discs in my PS3. On some discs, I had to try several times to get them to load - no problem with the PS3. I bought the 390 because of its ability to bitstream 7.1 Dolby and DTS-HD to my Onkyo receiver (PS3 can only send 7.1 PCM DTS-HD). I wanted to give the decoding circuitry in the receiver a chance to do its thing (although theoretically, there shouldn't be much of a difference in sound quality). The 390 does indeed bitstream both codecs. The built in wireless is a very neat feature - it's fun to be able to listen to music or view photos that are on my big computer upstairs. Online Netflix movies sounds like a good idea but the current poor quality of the picture and sound (on any streaming device) make this feature valueless to me. Bottom line: the occasional sound sync and loading problems make this machine a 'don't buy now.'Get more detail about LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
