Full HD 1080/60p & 24p True Cinema™ Most of all Hollywood movies are shot at 24 frames per second, and Blu
ray Disc™ movies are mastered at 24 frame per second, so it is only fitting that the Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Players can
output your films at 1080/24p for a true film-like experience at home. Of course, Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Players can also
output at 1080/60p for more traditional HDTV sets on the market. Either way Sony® has you covered for the best
picture possible in Full 1080p!

HD bitstream out Available over HDMI™ (V1.3). Dolby TrueHD/DTS
-
HD gives you sound
quality that matches the crystal clear image of Blu-ray Disc™. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and audio
that is indistinguishable from the original studio version, Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD promises you an extraordinary surround
experience.
DVD upscale to 1080p DVD Upscaling via HDMI™ gets the most out of your existing DVD collection by upscaling
standard definition video to near HD quality. 2
Precision Cinema HD Upscale Precision Cinema HD upscale uses highbandwidth digital
-to-
analog conversion and
processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan 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.Color™ for AVC-HD xvYCC color standard
-
Support for the international xvYCC color standard produces
images with 1.8x the color space of the traditional RGB color standard, resulting in images with more natural and vivid
color reproduction.5
