For more than 60 years, Sony products have been created in accordance with an ambitious set of performance and design ideals to provide the most enjoyable experience possible.
Read about the specific technical highlights of this model here:
Have a fully interactive viewing experience. Download and stream bonus content such as additional movie scenes, special trailers and interactive games provided by the movie studios. Simply connect a Sony Blu-ray Disc™ Player to the Internet while playing back a BD-LIVE™ compatible disc.
BD-LIVE™ also lets you access movieIQ. Powered by Gracenote™, movieIQ gives you quick access to continuously updated movie information, such as cast and crew, relevant trivia, production facts, music and soundtrack information all tied to scenes within the movie.
Note: To enjoy BD-LIVETM features at your leisure, you need a USB storage media or Hard Disk Drive, both sold separately.
Open up a new world of connectivity and entertainment simplicity by taking full control of your entire system with a single remote commander and BRAVIA Sync.
All connected devices can sync and communicate with one another for seamless and intuitive operation via just one remote commander, thanks to this 100% lossless digital interface that always delivers superior digital images and audio through a single cable.
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.
Have fun, fast and quick access to set-up menus and user controls. With the Xross Media Bar™ onscreen display, navigation is swift and smooth. The 4-directional control interface in the Xross Media Bar™ allows easy navigation and quick access to all your entertainment.
24p True Cinema
With 24p True Cinema, movies are played at 24 frames per second (fps), the same original motion sequence as most Hollywood films - bringing movies to life just the way the directors intended.
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.
