Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon ® !
For more than fifty years, Harman Kardon products have been at the
cutting edge of audio and home theater technology. The first audio receiver
wore a Harman Kardon badge, and the company has been producing
innovative entertainment products ever since. The BDP 1 Blu-ray Disc
™
player is the latest component offered in that proud tradition.
Incorporating the latest high-definition audio and video processing
technologies, the BDP 1 is an essential part of a modern home theater
system. It plays your favorite Blu-ray Disc movies with up to 1080/24p
video resolution and Dolby
® TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio ™
encoding, when available on the disc, thanks to HDMI ™ ( V.1.3a
with x.v.Color ™ ) connectivity. BonusView ™ interactivity, available with
compatible Blu-ray Disc media, allows the filmmaker to offer viewing
features and options unimaginable with previous-generation discs.
Connect the BDP 1 to the Internet, and BD-Live ™ interactivity (available
with compatible discs; requires USB drive with a least 1GB free space;
select “Storage” in USB Function Select menu) delivers additional
features, updates and news of live events. Even older DVD-Video discs
will deliver outstanding picture quality, when they are upscaled to 1080p
video resolution.
Yet with all of its sophistication, the BDP 1 is simple to operate. Its
controls are similar to those for DVD players, and its enhanced on-screen
menu system guides you every step of the way. Easy to use and delivering
outstanding performance, the BDP 1 is sure to provide enjoyment for
many years to come.
