Film as seen from the director's chair. Bring original cinema-quality pictures to your home. The BDP-LX70A delivers the kind of exclusive performance you've only ever seen at the cinema. It's one of the few Blu-ray disc players that offers video playback at the 'native' 1080p resolution, without tampering with the 24 frames per second cadence - with which the films were shot, mastered and stored on disc. Blu-ray discs are the ultimate HD format, completely redefining everything you ever knew about the world of digital entertainment. Blu-ray discs offer immense storage capacity of up to 50 GB. That's more than enough space to meet the demands of real High Definition entertainment with its huge range of options - including 1080p/24 playback, new audio and video codecs. Multimedia comes alive. The Blu-ray disc player lets you play digital videos, digital still photos and compressed music files stored in your home network. It provides you with easy access to digital media, for example from PCs, running a DLNA-compatible digital media server or the server included in Microsoft Windows Media Player 11. This means it allows browsing and playback of stored Windows Media or MPEG-2 videos, JPEG still photos or WAV and compressed music files. Extremely easy operation is ensured by an intuitive on-screen Graphical User Interface and a user-friendly remote control. The Home Media Gallery even lets you play back HD video content with up to 1,920 x 1,080p resolution. Some things are made to go together. The BDP-LX70A is designed to DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) guidelines and complies with PlaysForSure Requirements Specification for Network Devices. ® The sound of High Definition. It takes the right sound to convey the true intensity of a gripping movie scene. The BDP-LX70A outputs the new lossless audio Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio format streams over HDMI to your compliant AV amplifier. Put simply, you can now enjoy high-resolution images accompanied by lush, studio-quality HD sound. True to the original and exactly as the director intended. 22 HDMI CONTROL The fast lane to finer quality. HDMI is a must-have interface for pristine quality. It enables the transfer of High Definition content with no loss of quality. In addition, this Blu-ray disc player features HDMI Control - allowing you to operate it with your KURO remote control. DISC NAVIGATOR No home network? Play PC files directly from DVD. Not everyone has a home network (yet). So, these users cannot readily enjoy the multimedia content from their PC files? They can with the BDP-LX70A: it supports a Disc Navigator function that enables playback of the same content formats as via its Home Media Gallery network feature, but this time from DVD disc. 23
