Blu-ray Discs have the capacity to carry high definition data, along with pictures in the 1920 x 1080 resolution that defines full high definition images. Scenes come to life as details leap at you, movements smoothen and images turn crystal clear. Blu-ray also delivers uncompressed surround sound - so your audio experience becomes unbelievably real. The high storage capacity of Blu-ray Discs also allow a host of interactive possibilities to be built in. Seamless navigation during playback and other exciting features like pop-up menus bring a whole new dimension to home entertainment.
With Bonus View, you can enjoy picture-in-picture with audio choices. A second smaller window - which runs a separate video sequence, appears over the main picture. You can then choose whether you want to listen to what's going on In the smaller window or in the larger one. This allows you to enjoy many special features that are often included in Blu-ray Disc movies. For example, you can watch and listen to the director's comments in the smaller window, whilst he points to scenes or actors in the main picture.
The real world is not limited by colors - practically any hue can occur in any shade, in any luminosity. What you see on your TV screen is a different matter, so images often don't look true to life. Deep Color recreates the natural world on your TV screen, bringing to you the millions and millions of colors that occur in reality - and launching your viewing experience to new heights.

EasyLink lets you control multiple devices like DVD players, Blu-ray players, TV's etc. with one remote. It uses HDMI CEC industry-standard protocol to share functionality between devices through the HDMI cable. With one touch of a button, you can operate all your connected HDMI CEC enabled equipment simultaneously. Functions like standby and play can now be carried out with absolute ease.
Cameras taking still and moving images pick up aberrations (or noise) from a variety of sources. These, though not individually visible, contribute to poor picture quality. The MPEG and 3D noise reduction feature cleans the picture up - so you can be assured of crystal clear images every time.
HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. DVD movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p') eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multi-channel audio, without conversions to analog - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.
