It's not the 3D capability that makes this player more chunky than normal, it's the amplifier for the surround sound. Even though it's at least two times larger than Sony's standard Blu-ray machines, it's not ungainly, and we don't think it's any larger than the first generation of Blu-ray players. So, if you're looking to replace an ailing 2D machine, this device could slot into the same gap. The front and rear USB ports allow you to play digital media from MP3 players, iPods and other memory devices. The system supports a variety of formats including DivX, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV9, MP3, WMA, AAC and JPEG as well as AVCHD from discs. Another optional extra is the £70 UWA-BR100 wireless LAN adapter, which plugs into either USB port on the rear panel.

Sony is no fool when it comes to picture quality on its Blu-ray players. We had a very enjoyable viewing experience with this machine, with both animated features and live action looking crisp, realistic and colourful. Of course, it's pretty hard to fault the picture output of most Blu-ray players, but we're very satisfied with this device. It's well worth considering, even if you've got high standards for picture quality. But if you can do without Wi-Fi and wireless rears then this is great value, particularly if you’re hoping to join the 3D revolution sometime in the near future.

Sound was loud enough from these satellites, though, and everything sounded pretty impressive.

Zip to the Video section in the home menu and you’ll find a list of catch-up TV services, including Demand Five, BBC iPlayer , Eurosport, Blip.tv, LoveFilm, YouTube, Dailymotion and more. This choice of web content puts Panasonic and LG to shame in terms of quantity and quality – only Samsung’s Internet@TV comes close – and it’s great to see that you can watch clips from Dailymotion in HD . The BDV-E370 is Sony’s latest entry-level Blu-ray home cinema system. That makes it a potential rival for Samsung’s brilliant HT-C6930W system, and a much cheaper one at that.

The volume control on the remote is then used to change the volume on the audio system. This all works very well with one problem though, the BDV-E370 assumes that the audio from the TV is coming in via the optical port, so when you switch the TV on, it will auto switch to this input. So a suitable work around is to plug the media player directly into the optical in. This just results in an extra button push to switch to the Analogue input in my case, in order to get audio from the TV into the audio system.
Taking the BDV-E370’s features, performance and ease of use into consideration, you can’t fail to be impressed.

Sony understands that's a problem and, to help, offers the option to add a wireless module to drive the rear speakers without running speaker cable to them.
The content available is US centric, but the concerning part is that some of the dedicated channels have their latest update as far back as 2009. I really hope Sony updates the service more regularly, and removes channels that are dead. It does do the job to a reasonable standard, but compared to a proper 5.1 channel system with a decent-sized woofer cone, this can't compete.
The Quick Start mode boots up the system in a few seconds, but when activated the system requires more power in standby.
