Blu-ray Disc is a new high-definition video format that offers amazing home entertainment possibilities. When the DVD format launched in 1997, Sony's first player was a high-end model that quickly set the benchmark for picture and sound quality. History repeats itself with Sony's first Blu-ray player, the BDP-S1. For videophiles eager to feed their HDTVs the highest-quality video source available, this is as good as it gets.
The BDP-S1 is one of the first video players of any type to provide true 1080p output - 1920 x 1080 pixels progressive scan, the highest HD signal output currently available. TV makers are shifting to 1080p resolution for their top-performing flat-panel and projection TVs, and this Blu-ray player is a pixel-perfect match. Even if your HD-capable TV is a few years old and lacks a digital HDMI connection, don't worry, you can still experience Blu-ray. High-definition signals up to 1080i are available through the player's component video output.
The key to the BDP-S1's top-notch video performance is the Blu-ray Disc. This new high-capacity format can hold up to five times as much information as a regular DVD. A Blu-ray player can send this digital info to your TV at a much faster rate than a DVD player. The result is picture quality with flawless clarity and true-to-life texture and depth. Sound quality is improved, too. In addition to 5.1-channel Dolbyr Digital and DTSr surround mixes like those found on DVDs, Blu-ray movies will also include a full CD-quality multichannel mix.
The BDP-S1 also plays standard DVDs, and will breathe new life into your entire DVD collection by upscaling the video to 1080p (or 720p or 1080i - you can choose the resolution that best suits your TV). The new Java-based interactive menu system further enhances the Blu-ray entertainment experience. For example, you'll be able to check out extras like commentaries and interviews without stopping the movie first. In so many ways, Blu-ray is a new chapter in home theater.
