The HTP-B350IS is a decent entrée into the world of Blu-ray, pairing a very impressive BD Live player with a stylish receiver/speaker system that delivers surprisingly impressive sound quality. Those tiny speakers are no mere gimmick - the sound they produce is better than many of the larger one-box speaker systems we've tested of late, but they only take up a fraction of the room. What's more, the system's generous connections, auto calibration modes and fantastic GUI make it easy to install and operate, which is exactly what you want from a one-box system. That said, the receiver unit's inability to decode Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby Digital Plus strips away some of the system's user-friendliness and makes it feel slightly over-priced, plus the player's lack of DTS HD Master Audio decoding doesn't help matters either. If you want the full Blu-ray audio experience, you're probably better off pairing the BDP-S350 with a separate Master Audio-capable AV receiver and speakers, but if you're happy to work around the system's limitations then it still has a lot to offer.
