Step 1
Determine the resolution of output you need. BluRay players provide you with the ability to view high-definition video at resolutions up to 1080p. Determine the highest level of resolution that is available to you by checking the resolution of your television. It should match or be close.

Step 2
Decide which BluRay player will give you the appropriate sound support. For an expensive multichannel audio setup, search for a list of compatable audio decoders.

Step 3
Measure the location where you will put your new BluRay player to ensure it fits your existing entertainment center. BluRay players come in different sizes, so be sure to choose appropriately.

Step 4
Determine the type of output jack you need. HD-ready TVs require multiple HDMI connectors for the BluRay device. If you don’t have an HD-ready TV set, it is not necessary to purchase a BluRay player with multiple HDMI connectors or other advanced features. Look on your television to determine which input selections is most compatable.

Step 5
Compare prices between different BluRay players. The price of BluRay players vary widely. Determine the appropriate balance between price and quality. While some players will have far better image quality and versatility, they are also generally more expensive.
