Pioneer BDP-330 Pioneer 1080p Streaming Blu-Ray Disc Player (Black) customer review
Unfortunately, a thinly disguised Sharp without Netflix – WDH –
The news of the departure of the market for Pioneer plasma by the AV community shaken a little over two years. Questions abound, what the future holds for Pioneer Kuro in a post World. Fans of their Blu-ray – 51FD/05FD started seriously asking – if a joint venture with Sharp would lead to dilution of quality A / V performance at a very reasonable price. The issue of good BDP-120 was a precursor of some manifestations of this companyeven in a supposedly amateur eye mostly re-badged Sharp Player Pioneer chassis under a veil. His performance was nowhere near his 320 and 23FD brothers and their prices reflect this.
News 320 followers have been emerging from European sources noted, Youtube streaming, that is the promise that customers can get in on Netflix streaming or some other video sources paid for the same time. The BDP-330 has been widely known, until I found one inBest Buy a half hour drive from my house.
After leading the repeal of all white-box, I immediately noticed is the light that stretch for me a disappointment, until I had the opportunity, was tested. I was a little 'surprise, the field does not mention Youtube or streaming services. After unboxing the players, I was a bit 'surprised, "as small and flat, his profile was. It makes the 320 look really good. The biggest disappointment was the immediateRear exit, which was identical to the European press photos completely free of multichannel analog outputs. Burr-Brown analog outputs with MCH was one of 320 stores strong. The play was produced in April 2010 in China, warning that it is a departure from the Malaysian-built 320 and 51 120 is then built into a cutting and a number of similarities between the plug into the rear entry design. The reader also shares the exact same modelNumber of Remote 120 – VXX3351, which appears almost identical to the 320, but some strange buttons labeled (page + / – and keyboard) is missing the Video Adjust button (all away, but I hope this will be a "true" Pioneer for me).
If the player shoots, I was greeted by the famous Pioneer menu, but a completely different setup menu, which was very similar to the 120 best I can remember. Here, where the real disappointment is that there are no Netflix, and onlyYoutube feeds. Gone are the black menu background Slicky is published and plain text menus and icons, I remember players from Sharp. No preference for color or high-speed HDMI … Only resolution. For those who (is) used to be possible for the level of development with 320/23/51/05, this is a huge disappointment.
The adaptation of the video options 320/23 disappeared. No preset modes, such as Pioneer PDP or projector. Once again, just solution. This player is safelinneag not the current 320 or 51 with its advanced picture adjustment menu and preferences. From this standpoint, the 330 is very disappointing.
In terms of loading times, added the Quick-start, few visible benefits for the loading times, which were very Pokey. Indeed, the current 320 faster loading in all current discs, I tried 330th in more than two seconds, the time of expulsion, the BDP-330 have loading times, was one of embarrasingly2010 player whose peer group can load the same disc in a third time.

In tests the function of deinterlacing test suite summary, the BDP-330not emerge as a stand-out by all means. His performance was very similar tot recognize BDP-120, in the absence of cadences more movies. In video-based jaggies tests were productive and moiré was S & M-Tacho-test, the worst I've seen, save the Sony BDP-N460, S470, S570, S370 and take.
The evidence of the real world are a form bit 'more to the player. Although the upconverted picture was not as strong as 320, was for most of the test material does not change compotent moved. My greatestComplaint is the complete absence of video adjustments for the DVD. There is simply no setting in the menu or submenu, which are contrary to the approaches developed and detailed in the 320th power available

Price / Total:
With slow load times, slightly above average in DVD quality, lack of integrated connectivity wirless, YouTube feeds and streaming only, with no multichannel analog outputs, no image adjustments and without 3D able to explain difficult because players must cost more than $ 100 in this market. Even then, it is difficult to explain why someone buy this playerall, if not the devil as a band pioneer and YouTube. The firmware can bring Netflix streaming and the time and other options, but there are so many players with so much for so little. With an MSRP $ 299 seems very high, so I would encourage people to explore a combination of two players like LG BD550 and a Pioneer BDP-320 for almost the same price and would be a perfect combination of excellent audio-visual media (320 be) and excellent streaming options(550). Overall, these actors show a huge disappointment, with great performance and value of the 320 offered follow-up.
