1080p is the highest-quality video
mode on the market. The BD-HP20 decodes a Blu-ray Disc’s signal
in native 1080p, for a full high-definition image and the most precise
and realistic visual experience imaginable. Your
existing DVDs, meanwhile, will receive a quality boost when upconverted
to 1080p (via HDMI). Along with this superb resolution, the BD-H20
can output video signals at 24 Hz (via HDMI). Matching the standard
frame rate used for cinema content, this enables movement in video
images to be reproduced more smoothly. |

The high capacity of the Blu-ray
Disc format doesn’t just translate into superior video images.
It also translates into superior sound reproduction. Naturally,
the BD-HP20 offers compatibility with the two major surround sound
formats, DTS® and Dolby® Digital Plus. These each create
an immersive and engaging sound stage for your home entertainment.
Even better, the BD-HP20 handles the next-generation lossless audio
codec, Dolby® TrueHD (lossless, 48 kHz only). With TrueHD, multichannel
audio can be delivered in pristine detail, capturing all the nuances
of the original recording session. |

When you’ve just brought home
a new movie to watch, there’s nothing more frustrating than
a player that takes forever to start up. Thankfully, the BD-HP20
is quick off the mark. Starting up from standby mode in around 10
seconds*2, it lets you and your audience begin enjoying your entertainment
sooner. |

Playing Blu-ray Discs in all their
high-definition glory comes naturally to the
BD-HP20, but that’s not all it can do. It’ll also get
the very best out of your existing DVDs—even upscaling them
to 1080p via HDMI—and play back your audio CDs. |

The BD-HP20’s
compatibility with AQUOS LINK means you can control
it using the remote controller from your AQUOS LCD TV*.
When it’s time to play a disk, the input switches
automatically to the player. The BD-HP20’s integration
with AQUOS LCD TVs also simplifies any customer support
issues. |

The sleek BD-HP20 sports
the same piano black finish as on popular AQUOS models. And at just
68 mm high—the thinnest in its class*—it makes an ideal
match for slimline AQUOS TVs. |
