Other than the included HDMI cable, what is the difference between the Sony BDPS5100 and this BDP=BX510?

This unit has a HDMI cable that is 3D compatible. There is no difference otherwise. A Sony qualified 3D HDMI Cable is about $30.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk.I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

You can buy a HDMI to component cable or converter box, but it will probably not work with Sony's HDCP copy protection in place. Odds are you will need a new HDTV. While most recent HDTVs support HDMI, there are plenty of gamers who are using an older HDTV that came out right as HDMI was becoming a standard feature. These cables don't work with most content, Bluray or streaming devices.

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean. At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the BDT310 has 2 HDMI outputs and can playback MPEG2 / AVCHD

There are a few minor accessory differences but the big difference you get in the $299 bundle is the battery charger, larger capacity battery, and the micro hdmi cable. I dont use the cable much but the battery charger is very handy.

I have a Sony BDP-S470. I have a 3D blu-ray player. It works fine. Check Sony online manual for the BDP-S5200.

Thanks for the tip. I bet it is in store mode. I'll keep my Samsung. It's the best picture I've ever seen and all my friends say the same. I looked at the Xbr4 side by side and couldn't not tell a difference. At least not $1500 difference. You pay for the Sony brand name. Not me.

I don't really know the answer, but when I was looking for one of these I noticed this note on the seller's IDEGG) info: This hdmi splitter doesn't support sony product,as sony products have set Voltage protection Settings. I am going to post this question about this one.

Yes, plus the 3200 costs more. I'm very happy with the BDPS1200. I had to buy an HDMI cable, but that did not cost much (it does not come with a cable).

The difference is that it is Not Aptx quality sound and does not have NFC (near field communication) in addition to blue tooth pairing. It does come with an overpriced optical cable. The BR51 IS A BETTER BUY AND DEVICE THAN THE BR50. And it is ten dollars cheaper. I have the BR51 and the sound quality is excellent.

Not quite fully accurate. Here is the information off the SonyStyle website itself, which I have confirmed on the back of the Sony DAVHDX576WF unit: Inputs and Outputs Analog Audio Input(s) : 2 (Rear) Coaxial Audio Digital Input(s) : 1 (Rear) Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr ) Input(s) : 1 (Rear) Composite Video Input(s) : 1 (Rear) Digital Media Port (Input) : Yes HDMI Connection Output(s) : 1 Headphone Input(s) : 1 (Rear) 3.5mm Optical Audio Input(s) : 1 (Rear) So, here's what you do. Feed all your HDMI inputs into the TV (most new ones have two, three, or even four HDMI ports). Use the TV's audio optical out to feed into the the Sony's optical in. The Sony's optical audio input allows putting the audio of all media components feeding into the TV HDMI inputs into surround sound mode through the Sony unit (if the TV has an audio optical out, which most new ones do). An older TV without the necessary HDMI inputs and audio optical out would, of course, make this solution non-workable. Be aware that the switching electronics for every HDMI input adds about $25-35 retail to a unit, so, at this price point (&lt;$500), most of your HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) designs are going to choose not to add extra inputs. The receiver is your better choice by far for multiple HDMI devices anyway--the electronics almost always are much better quality--and you can hear and see the difference. Anyway, you have a work-a-round if your TV facilitates the HDMI inputs and audio optical output.

Hi! I purchased the BPD-BX39 only because it came with the HDMI Cable already. I believe they are the same model DVD/Blu-Ray players, and the other didn't come with the HDMI Cable. I hope that helps!

The simplest advice is to go with HDMI when you can. But if you can't it's not the end of the world. The biggest difference is that HDMI can pass higher-resolution audio, including the formats found on Blu-ray: Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. These formats can't get transmitted across optical.I have the RX 475 available for sale on my ebay plateform.Best

Both are the same exact player. The "-c" refers to an included hdmi cable. That is the only difference.
