Well the BDP 320 came in today, the switching out of the BDP 120 was a snap. I hooked up the HDMI, inserted the 4 gig extra mem on top of the built in 1 gig, connected the network cable. I power up the unit and started right in on the setup menu. This unit is much smarter than the basic 120 as it recognize the fact that I had a High speed HDMI cable and the abilities of my Vizio. It set itself to output 1080p/24F from the default 1080p/60. The menu's on this unit go as deep as you like to tweak the output or just use the basic ones and go. My AVR does not support the newer sound formats, so I have to set the audio to PCM to let the BDP do the work. When I did a test run with Blu Ray X-man Wolverine I saw some new lights come up on my AVR. With my 120 I had the same setting,, but It never used the back surround settings as this 320 does, also on the remote you can hit the audio button and the audio format will display on the screen briefly to ensure you are listening to DTS HD or whatever. I ran a test with a legacy DVD with DTS and the 320 let the AVR do the work as the DTS symbol came up on the AVR. The video output for blu ray is what it should be (also supports 48 bit deep color), but on the legacy DVD it out shine the 120. I picked this up thinking that I may use the analog outputs to get full control of the newer audio formats, but this unit has impressed me with the HDMI output so far. I'm not a netflicks or other D/L content user so the ability to have this was not a factor for me. The upgrade to the latest firmware was done painlessly over my network.

For those still looking to get in the Blu Ray game, this could be a real deal for you. Pioneer discontinued this model this year in favor of one that does the streaming. And the price for this unit has dropped under $150, so if you need or looking for a unit that has the analog outputs this could be your answer.
