Setting up Netflix on a Sony Blu-ray player is easy and can be done in a few simple steps. This guide particularly focuses on the BDP-BX 520 model. The Blu-ray player comes with built-in Wi-Fi and supports other streaming platforms like Hulu, Pandora, and YouTube.
To get started, turn on your Blu-ray player and go to the main menu. Navigate to the left and select “Setup”. Under “Setup”, choose “Easy Network Settings” to ensure that your Blu-ray player is connected to your network. If it’s not, the setup process will guide you through the steps to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
After the easy network settings, you will notice a few changes in the menu. You can scroll over to pictures, music, and videos, and it will show the shared drives. However, there is still no Netflix or other streaming apps. To get Netflix, go to “Network and Internet Video”. Under “Internet Video”, select any of the options available. It will then prompt you to accept the user license agreement.
Once connected, it will download apps like Netflix, Hulu, MLB, and other streaming services. Click on Netflix and sign in with your login credentials. You can also sign in to other apps using the same process.
Apart from Netflix, there are other apps like Pandora and Facebook that are available. The Opera TV store is also available, where you can find more apps and games. Some of these apps may not be useful, but you can explore to see what works for you.
In summary, setting up Netflix on a Sony Blu-ray player involves easy network settings and selecting an option under “Internet Video” to download the app. After downloading, sign in with your login credentials and enjoy streaming your favorite shows and movies.
