The all in one player
The BD-UP5000 not only plays Blu-ray Disc, HD DVD, and pretty much whatever else you scrounge up at the video store, but it defines what cutting edge technology is all about: integration. This player does it all, and in HD style. Here's the gyst on a duo player: Blu-ray discs can store 25GB (single layer) or 50GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. HD DVD provides six times the picture resolution of regular DVDs and up to 7.1 channels of resounding audio. So you get all the benefits of both plus more in one player.
The big picture, Hollywood style
View movies the way the directors intended. The BD-UP5000 uses the same video-processing power (one trillion operations per second!) that is widely used in Hollywood's post production. Combined with the 32-tap adaptive upscaler, you enjoy exquisite, delicate picture quality. In addition, you choose what sounds and colors satisfy your pallet. The picture quality adjustment feature allows you to refine the sharpness and noise reduction details to your taste. Furthermore, the BD-UP5000 supports a large variety of playable disc formats (like CD, DVD, HD JPEG, and MP3, to name a few).
Surround sound completes the HD picture
Thanks to Blu-ray, there's no better way to experience true-to-life audio in a home theater environment. BD-UP5000 is capable of passing the awesome power of Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD&trade. Dolby TrueHD is Dolby's next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media. King Cong practically thunders through your living room thanks (or maybe no thanks...) to the BD-UP5000.
Make the most of the past
Honoring the investment you've made in movies and CDs, the BD-UP5000 is completely backward-compatible. To make it completely clear and alleviate your fears: You can still enjoy all your current favorite CDs and DVDs, no matter the format. In fact, they look and sound better than ever before, because the BD-UP5000 takes your current DVD library and upconverts it to a near high-definition experience via 720p/1080i and 1080p, output through the HDMI connection. Satisfied?
Eliminate cable clutter
Anynet+ Ready TV (HDMI-CEC) enables you to operate the TV, A/V receiver, and home theater with a single remote. If you have an even slightly complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time.
