Full HD Resolution – An Amazing Home Theater Experience in the Comfort of Your Home
The Blu-ray Disc™ format has full 1080p resolution capability – that's the maximum picture resolution available today.
High Fidelity Audio – Real Life-Like Sound
Blu-ray technology lets you take advantage of the latest surround sound formats such as Dolby® TrueHD™. This means you will enjoy high quality lossless 7.1 Channel digital surround that is bit for bit the equivalent of a master recording.
HDMI™ Up-scaling – Backwards Compatible
Even your existing standard definition DVD library can look better than even because Blu-ray Disc™ players are backwards compatible with your DVDs.
