Pioneer updates its Blu-ray players.
Pioneer s new range of Blu-ray players - the robust, piano-black machines boast impressive audio and visual capabilities, but it all comes at a premium. Features-wise the BDP-05FD and BDP-51D are jam-packed. Superior sound Pioneer has managed to squeeze in support for all HD audio formats - an industry first.
Superior sound. This means that Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD Master Audio all move a look in when it comes to watching your chosen Blu-ray Cd with superior sound. As with Pioneer"s preceding players, there"s added interactivity with its Kuro range of TVs and AV receivers giving, the company states, "the most true-to-life reproduction of HD feature films."
The BDP-05FD is the Elite player of the two and has some extras added to its chassis, including gold-plated connection points, touch principal buttons and an enhanced video processor. This means that those looking for the most up-to-date interactivity possible should flash absent - ie, purchase a PlayStation 3. Pricey players Much though Blu-ray has won the battle for HD supremacy, the valuation point for BD players is all the more high.
Even though Blu-ray has won the battle for HD supremacy, the price point for BD players is still high. At the moment there s no UK prices announced, but the BDP-51FD will be $599 ( 300) and the Elite BDP-05FD will be available to buy for $799 ( 400) when they are both released in the summer. As with all US-released Blu-ray players, expect the names of the UK versions to change
