Read about the specific technical highlights of this model here:

 

BD-Live
BD-Live brings you the next generation of interactivity, allowing you to download and stream bonus content such as additional movie scenes, special trailers and interactive games provided by the movie studios. Simply connect the Blu-ray Disc™ Player to the Internet while playing back a BD-Live compatible disc to enjoy all the exciting extra content.

Note: To enjoy BD-Live at your leisure, a USB flash memory is required, sold separately.
 
BonusView
The BonusView feature provides Picture-in-Picture capability with selected Blu-ray Disc™ titles - useful for viewing director or actor commentary while the movie is playing. This interactive function is not available in movie theatres but only with Blu-ray Disc™.
 
Precision Cinema HD Upscale
Precision Cinema HD Upscale via HDMI lets you get the most of your existing DVD collection by upscaling Standard Definition video to near HD quality, using high bandwidth digital-to-analogue conversion and processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scanning lines.

Additionally, separate algorithms are used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.
 
x.v.Colour conforms to the international xvYCC colour standard that produces images with 1.8 times the colour space of traditional RGB colour, resulting in images that are more natural and vivid with true-to-life colour reproduction.

Note: To enjoy the benefits of x.v.Colour, the entire video production chain (camera-editing-format-player-display) must be compatible.

24p True Cinema

The Blu-ray Disc Player™ can also output at 1080/60p for your traditional HDTV sets, assuring that you’ll always enjoy the best picture quality in Full HD 1080p.
