For 2013, Sony announced three new Blu-ray Disc players (BDP-S1100, BDP-S3100 and BDP-S5100) in a stylish quartz design. Each model is Internet-connected and packed with apps, and offers stunning performance when playing back Blu-ray Discs or DVDs thanks to a fully encased optical drive and powerful image processors. The S3100 and S5100 players are also equipped with improved Wi-Fi capability offering a stronger signal and excellent range.
The S5100 player is also Blu-ray 3D playback-capable, so consumers can choose to enjoy videos from nearly any media. All three new models offer access to more than 100 online apps and content services, including Sony Entertainment Network’s Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited, as well as the most popular entertainment options from Netflix, Pandora, HuluPlus, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Slacker Internet Radio, Crackle and many more.
