The 650R delivers all the benefits of the latest HDMI 1.3c format including higher data transfer speed plus support for SACD and DVD-Audio. The 650R can also transcode analogue video inputs to HDMI for simplicity and flexibility, requiring just one HDMI cable to your TV screen.

You ve heard these a thousand times and you just know how every last beat, riff and word should sound.

6 Specifications Deep colour and crystal clear Blu-ray HD Why upgrade to Blu-ray? If you ve seen a Blu-ray movie on an HD TV, no doubt you were impressed by the sharp picture quality and vividness of colour. That s because Blu-ray offers five times the amount of storage and five times the amount of detail compared to standard-definition (SD). Blu-ray also supports high-definition audio formats and lossless audio for appreciably better sound. This extra space also means plenty of room for additional content and special features like BonusView enabling two different audio and video streams simultaneously often used for the director s commentary. Another great feature, BD-Live, enables you to connect your Blu-ray player to the internet and enjoy extra downloadable content and bonus features from BD-Live featured discs. And to make your discs last even longer, all Blu-ray media features a special hardened coating making them more resistant than regular DVDs. Standard definition DVD The 650BD upgrades your DVD collection too! Whilst the wonder of Blu-ray is reason enough to upgrade your existing player, where does that leave your vast DVD collection? Fortunately DVDs can be played in all Blu-ray players but to make your existing movies look better than ever before, the 650BD has a really neat trick up its sleeve! Carefully developed de-interlacing and upscaling technology is one of the 650BD s key strengths which bridges the significant void in quality between ordinary DVD performance and Blu-ray. Put simply, the 650BD upscales the native (480 or 576 line) data from your existing DVDs to much sharper, more vivid 1080p. This feature is particularly useful if you ve invested in a Full HD screen or plan on adding one in the future. And what s more, the 650BD is equally at home with a wide array of other formats including CD, SACD, DVD-A, AVCHD and HDCD. As well as universal disc playback, dual USB ports enable you to experience high definition video, photos and music from external hard drives.
