Defining high definition

Enter the next level of high definition with the stylish BDPS500 Blu-ray Disc player. Built with rigid beam construction and a motorized sliding front panel, the BDPS500 is a videophile's delight. The pristine images from high definition Blu-ray Disc movies and 1080p DVD upscaling will make your HDTV come alive. Amazing 24p True Cinema output and cinema-tuned picture presets allow you to see movies exactly as the director intended. Featuring LPCM, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD audio decoding for ultra-realistic sound, this player is also a treat for the ears. And with BRAVIA Theatre Sync, you can control your compatible BRAVIA HDTV and Sony AV system with the press of a button.

The award for "Best Picture" goes to...

In the movie world, "picture quality" depends, largely, on the budget you throw at a film. In the digital world, picture quality depends on bit rates. For example, DVDs can deliver 10 Mbps. HDTV broadcasts can reach 19 Mbps. But Blu-ray Disc outshines them all with up to 48 Mbps! Quite simply, Blu-ray is the best home video source. Ever. At the same time, it provides seriously sweet surround sound. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and options for up to 32 streams of audio, the BDPS500 is an amazing experience for your ears. Blu-ray Disc can deliver concert videos and music videos that will make you want to get up on stage and sing with the performers. To put it in other terms, Blu-ray is like "Gone With the Wind," "West Side Story," "The Godfather," "Forrest Gump," "Titanic," and "Gladiator" all rolled together into one visually captivating, auditorily enthralling feast for the senses.

Make the most of the past

Just because you have a new toy doesn't mean you will be forced to neglect all your old favorites. Because the BDPS500, in addition to playing high-definition BD discs, offers complete backward compatibility. You can still enjoy your current favorite CDs and DVDs, no matter the format. In fact, they look and sound better than ever before, because the BDPS500 can take your current DVD library and upconvert it to a near high-definition experience (1080p) via HDMI connection or 1080i via component video. So not only do you get fancy new high definition DVDs, but your old ones get an upgrade through the BDPS500!

The goodies inside

Designed for those passionate about their home entertainment experience, the Sony BDPS500 Blu-ray Disc Player unleashes the full potential of your high-definition television. Experience full 1080p high-definition video and surround-sound with depth and clarity like never before. The BDPS500 Blu-ray Player offers a host of new high-definition entertainment possibilities, most impressively 1920 x 1080p output, the highest HD signal output available through an HDMI connection. Even if your HD-capable television doesn't have an HDMI connection, you can still experience Blu-ray. A 1080i output via component video allows for HD-capable televisions without HDMI to enjoy Blu-ray Disc features. The Sony BDPS500 Blu-ray Disc Player brings sleek looks and the highest of the HD resolution available straight to your home. Bring your home entertainment experience to a new level with the BDPS500 Blu-ray Disc home player.

With the Sony touch

As a principal developer and the leader in HD entertainment, Sony knows Blu-ray Disc technology inside and out. The BDPS500 uses Sony Cinema Tuned Digital Processing to produce cinema-quality surround sound and strikingly true visuals. The BDPS500 adds extra excitement to films and concerts by enabling interactive capabilities with BD-Java--offering development of advanced interactive features, a new dimension in "bonus features." And the BDPS500 is backward compatible with your existing DVD library, creating a better image than a DVD player ever could. With the added feature of 1080p upscaling through HDMI, even old format DVDs are displayed brilliantly. More, in every sense.
