should have read all comments I would not have ordered this...all say can be used with blue ray players but they are for computers sending it back

No it didn't work. We wound up having to hook it up by wire to our wireless router in order to get Internet access for Netflix.

This is not able to work on your blue ray. I tried it and it would not let you open up the software to download it. This is just meant for computers.

No, you cannot in the way you probably mean. You could watch movies on Netflix or other apps on the smart tv but not from a blu ray disc and you wouldn't need this player. Relatively rare and expensive products can transmit hdmi signals wirelessly, but it cannot be done over standard WiFi. There is far too much data after it has been decompressed by the blu ray player.Why do you want to do this? A low profile active hdmi cable may be the best solution for you. This is one of the smaller players out there so maybe you can find a spot near the tv and use a small hdmi cable.

I am not sure, but my laptop has a HDMI port, so the tablet could be hooked up via the purchased cord. I wanted the hookup for the tablet to TV so I could stream Netflix as I do not have a dvd player nor do I have Blue Ray.

The connectivity capabilities of the TV and Blu-ray player aren't meant to transfer content, but to connect each device to the internet. Your WiFi Blu-ray player will still be connected to your TV via HDMI, it's just that the Blu-ray player will be able to stream Netflix, for example. When a TV like the UN55B8500 is connected to the internet over WiFi, it can do things like get weather forecasts, or stream Amazon on-demand video from Yahoo! TV widgets.

Most likely you will have to buy Sony's own Wifi Adapter:Sony USB Wi-Fi AdapterAt least that is true for Sony BDP-BX37 1080p Upscaling Blu-ray Disc DVD Player w/HDMI, LAN & USB from what all the reviews are saying.Sorry for the bad news. Hope you have a happy New Year!

From experience with it, I would not get it. It's very archaic and obsolete. The apps freeze a lot and the Netflix app doesn't function properly. You're better off getting either a Roku or a Blu-Ray player that has app functionality which most do that are wifi

Yes, but you need to access the internet to do this. There are a couple low cost options. Either use gaming system (Xbox/PS3) or you can now get a pretty good DVD or Blu Ray player with built-in wireless that comes with Netflix and other streaming video services installed for under $125.00 Connect either to the TV via HDMI cable (just get the $6 on Amazon) and you are good to go!

I'm not a Netflix guy, but I believe if you are using your TV to access Netflix via WiFi you need to output the audio to the STR DN850 and select TV as the Input. You can use an Optical Audio Cable to pass the audio signal from your TV to the STR DN850. I do access Pandora from my TV and pass the audio to the STR DN850 and it works for me.Alternatively, if you have another device that can access Netflix (i.e. a Blue Ray Disc player) you could access Netflix via that device and pass the audio/video via HDMI to the DN850 and then the video to the TV. That should work as well.

Something like the Samsung BD-F5900 3D Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player (2013 Model) should do the trick. Higher priced models have more features that you may or may not be interested in.

Bud I am not sure. I have it running from a blue ray player to an LCD tv. I run netflix and internet features through it from the blueray device if any of that information helps.

Yes you can. I just setup mine last night, netflix is available in media center, you just need to sign in. Make sure you have silverlight installed from microsoft, or it won't work.

I looked through the owners manual and I don't believe this TV has wireless capabilities, which you would need to have Netfilx on it. You might need to look at getting some type of add on device or a wireless capable DVD player. That's how I got Netflix on my TV.

I just received the one I ordered and I had ordered it because you could also watch Netflix, etc., but I didn't notice that it wasn't a wi-fi like my Wii is. I have a wireless router for my Wii but its back in the room with my computer and the blu ray player is in the living room. I can't have a long cable laying all over to trip over. Ha. Unless I can get it to work with an ethernet adapter or something I will just use it as a player. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't notice you had to connect an ethernet cord. Not very convenient. Well I could buy an ethernet bridge for $99 but then I may as well have gotten the BD 390 with the wi-fi on it because its gonna cost about as much.

I hooked it up on a older Blu Ray Dvd player that didn,t have wireless built in to it using one of its hdmi ports and connected to my wireless router and it works fine.

It should be there. My remote has a "netflix" button on it. But the app is also on there. You could try going to the Apps and downloading it from there. My irritation is that I got Amazon Prime and it won't work on my Samsung blu ray player with the smart hub.

It is wifi ready, not wifi built-in. Meaning you have to plug something else in to receive the signal. The problem is that many USB adapters do not work with sony blu ray players. Sony says only their $80 adapter will work. What Janean and everyone is asking which USB adapters will work besides Sony's.

I don't think you can. My advice is to take it back (send it back) get a sony blu ray player and get a newer tv. :) You probably will not be happy with this unit if you use Netflix. I'm not.
