Blu-ray players deliver a better picture to your HDTV than any other available source. In fact, Blu-ray's 1080p picture is a perfect match for the 1080p screens found on most current TVs. Blu-ray movies also offer the most precise and realistic surround sound you can get. These players do a terrific job with standard DVDs, too — you'll see a cleaner, clearer picture with every disc in your collection. All Blu-ray players can connect to the Internet for enhanced bonus features, and many let you watch online movies from Netflix® and other video services.
The Sony BDP-S300 takes full advantage of Blu-ray Disc's superb picture and sound quality to deliver top-notch performance for your high-definition home theater system. It can output video in "Full HD" 1080p resolution, for extraordinary depth and detail with compatible TVs. It's also one of the first components that can display images at 24 frames per second — the same frame rate used by film — for the most faithful and accurate reproduction of your favorite movies.
Future-ready color technology
The 'S300 supports new x.v.Color™ technology, which offers the potential of up to 80% more colors than you get with current high-definition programs. In the future, you'll be able to enjoy an even more vibrant, lifelike image with compatible TVs and movie discs.
A new disc format designed for a better picture
The BDP-S300's top-notch video performance is largely due to the Blu-ray Disc format itself. High-capacity Blu-ray Discs can each hold up to five times as much information as a regular DVD. A Blu-ray player can send this digital information 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.
Better sound, too
The 'S300 also sports built-in decoding for Dolby® Digital Plus — a new audio format recorded at a higher bitrate than regular Dolby Digital — for even richer, more dynamic wraparound sound. You can take advantage of this state-of-the-art format using any receiver with multichannel analog inputs. When you're in the mood for music, pop in a CD or a home-burned DVD loaded with MP3 tunes. And Sony's Bravia™ Theatre Sync gives you quick and easy control of compatible Sony components via the HDMI connection.
