Sony BDP-S300 (I don't really know market specifications...). We use two in our store, plugged in two BeoSystems 3. The connections are: HDMI & IR. The integration is total & perfect: we control them with Beo4 via STB-Controller 🤒

the SDP300 is a first generation and not profile 2 compliant- it also takes and age to load anything- sont have just scrapped it

Which is why I will be exchanging my 300 with my B and O dealer for the new 550 as soon as it is released, as well as for added support of Dolby and DTS HD Audio.

But as for working with the BS3 and Beo 4, which was the question being responded to, not a question about the capabilities of a specific player, the answer is absolutely yes.

Well  the tests I  and engineers have undertaken thus far indicate no HD audio - or suitable handshake for the following players- panasonic BD30, panasonic BD50 Sony PS3  and Sony BDP 300 ( with version 4.2 update that allows true audio HD)and all previous generation Pioneer product- maybe the new Sony will be the first player that sends Hd audio via HDMI and the bs3 recognises it-  perhaps the BS3 was way ahead of its time after all.

 

Can anyone please help?

I have connected it with a HDMI cable and i'm using a USB Dongle for control with the Beo4.

Should i have the PS3 set to a certain setting to get the best picture?

Cheers
