Double the HDMI, half the upgrade

Only one word describes the advancement made to home theater viewing by the 3D revolution: dramatic. And, just as when Full HD video first became available, new 3D content requires new A/V components with a level of sophistication and performance capable of meeting this new media's demands. Accordingly, you're investing in a new 3D HDTV and 3D Blu-ray player. Now, if you're enough of a home-theater enthusiast to be taking the 3D plunge, then there's a pretty good chance you've got a balanced and complete home theater system . . . In other words, Full HD video and multi-channel surround sound. And if you have surround sound, you've got a multi-channel A/V receiver. Which means you'll have to upgrade your receiver to a 3D-capable model, too, right? Wrong. Well, as long as you invest in the BD-C7900, that is. You see, thanks to the BD-C7900's dual HDMI outputs, you can send 3D video directly to your 3D HDTV using one HDMI output, and then send your multi-channel audio signal to your current receiver using the second HDMI output. You still enjoy the full high definition, 3D experience complete with surround sound with a minimum number of component upgrades. So, double the HDMI means half the upgrade.

It's all about the Blu

If you haven't heard of Blu-ray Disc before, here's a quick crash course. DVD technology uses a wide red laser to record movies onto the disc. Blu-ray Disc, on the other hand, uses a narrower blue-violet laser to do its encoding. Consequently, a dramatically larger amount of information can be recorded in the same space. In fact, a Blu-ray disc can store over five times the information of a DVD. This makes it possible for both full high definition 1920 x 1080p video and HD 7.1-channel audio to be stored on a single disc. And that's just the beginning. There's also plenty of room left over for special features and behind-the-scenes extras. Samsung's BD-C7900 not only supports a variety of Blu-ray formats, but also gives you the ability to play back DVDs and CDs, as well as audio and images recorded using formats such as MP3, and JPEG. Further, DivX certification gives you the ability to watch video recorded using this compression codec.

Surround sound's full potential

While Samsung's BD-C7900 features built-in decoding technology for a variety of surround sound formats, two top the list: Dolby Digital TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio. These advanced technologies allow for decoding of the full HD 7.1-channel surround sound found on many Blu-ray Disc titles. Full 7.1-channel surround sound adds two side surround channels to standard 5.1-channel configurations, creating and even more realistic, enveloping audio experience.

DVD, meet 1080p

Two little words spell out a big sigh of relief for your DVD collection. With all this talk of Blu-ray Disc's full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channels of uncompressed surround sound audio, your DVDs were preparing themselves for the landfill. Thanks to the BD-C7900's DVD video upconversion technology, however, you need to prepare yourself to rediscover your DVDs' potential. Video upconversion technology enhances the standard definition 480i video found on DVD to near HD 1080p levels when you use the BD-C7900's HDMI connection, optimizing it for display on your HDTV. DVD, meet 1080p.

Keepin' connected
