The Sharp BD-HP80U Network 3D Blu-ray Player (Black and Silver) is a 3D-ready full HD 1080p disc player that offers interactive connectivity in a slimline package.
This player supports 3D content to offer realistic visual experiences that leap off the screen to bring you to the next dimension of entertainment. Along with the necessary accessories, you'll be on your way to enjoying 3D imaging from Blu-ray movies. Since this player also supports 1080p resolution (1,080 lines of vertical resolution) scanned progressively, it offers support for premium visuals. It also supports playback of films at their native 24p (frames per second), which is the way most films were shot and mastered.
The BD-HP80U also offers an exceptional 2D viewing experience. It upscales your DVDs to 1080p for near-HD quality, so you can get enhanced picture quality without having to upgrade to Blu-ray discs.
In addition to Blu-ray and DVD playback, this player offers loads of interactive options. It has built-in Wi-Fi, so it can be paired with your network internet connection (sold separately) to take advantage of all it has to offer. Once you're online you can get access to additional content from Netflix (with a subscription), VUDU and Pandora. This player also supports BD Live 2.0 for downloadable extras and the BONUSVBIEW function for picture-in-picture special features with compatible discs.
If you have a multi-channel surround sound system, you'll appreciate this player's support of several Dolby and DTS audio formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. These formats offer 7.1 channels of lossless audio that is equivalent to the master recordings to give you high fidelity soundtracks.
You can also play your MP3, JPEG and DivX files on this player from a USB drive or CD disc. Now you can share your music, photos and videos with family and friends quickly and easily.
While many players offer a compact form, the BD-HP80U takes it a step further. This player can be mounted on the wall next to your HDTV for an ultra-low profile presence within any setup. It offers a standard mounting pattern of VESA 75 mm for universal compatibility and flexible placement options.
If you have a Sharp AQUOS-Link enabled TV, you can control everything with just one remote because this player supports this function as well.
The BD-HP80U offers 3D full HD 1080p imaging capabilities, online connectivity, and support for high resolution audio formats. Mixing in flexible placement options and a slim chassis of just 2 inches high, this player can blend effortlessly with any decor. What's more, an Energy Star rating means it will go easy on the environment and your wallet.
