HD Reality Enhancer/ Super Bit Mapping®

Isolated Audio Circuit Board and High Quality Parts
By keeping the Audio Circuit Board separate from other circuitry interference from the video processor and other components is mitigated and can be kept clean. The high quality parts of the player allows for uncompromising performance.

Rigid Beam Chassis & Dual Shield Construction
The combination of Frame and Beam increases rigidity and controls the fundamental resonant frequency of the frame panels.

Dolby TrueHD® and dts® HD- 7.1 Analog output & bitsteam out over HDMI™
In the past most audio codecs used compression that actually removes some sound data to transmit audio from the disc to the audio circuitry. This means that what you hear is a subset of the original audio. While this was very good we still lost some of the audio. Newer formats allow the Audio to be compressed but not discarded. This means that once the audio is decoded the original audio can come through. This player allows you to stream the audio out via HDMI(tm) to a Capable receiver or through analog 7.1 outputs for maximum compatibility with high end receivers.

RS-232C & IR Input for Flexible Custom Installation
By having an RS-232C and IR Inputs this player can work with a wide range of Sony and other third party custom integration solutions.

R-Core Transformer
Because of the unique design of this transformer it has an inherently low radiated hum and noise ratio as compared to other types of transformers. This translates to a better power supply for creating cleaner and better sound.
