Enhanced Convenience

Expanded Range of Playable Formats

The BDP-HD1 plays pre-recorded titles from BD-ROM. And because Blu-ray Discs are the same size as DVD, DVD-R, and DVD-RW, the unit is backward-compatible with upscaled resolution.

*Some discs will not play content in HD through a component video output. See Blu-ray Disc packaging for details.

Home Media Gallery With DLNA Certification and Windows Media Connect Compatibility

Digital devices for home use are increasingly popular, and people are consuming and creating digital content

at a much higher rate than ever. Not only has the variety of content increased, but also the variety of audio and video formats. Pioneer's Home Media Gallery function brings all of this into your living room.

This Elite-exclusive function lets you play digital videos, digital still photos, and

compressed music files stored in your PC — or multiple PCs — even when the PC is located in another room. Connect the BDP-HD1 to your home network, and the system automatically seeks out (for example) your WMV or MPEG2

from other DLNA 1.0-compliant devices, regardless of the brand. Microsoft Windows Media Connect is a new technology

that lets you deliver music, photos, and video stored on a PC to devices in your living room or other places. Download this freeware and enjoy access to all your PC archives at your fingertips.

The BDP-HD1 also allows playback of Microsoft PlaysForSure-protected content from a wide range of popular online movie and music service providers. Just look for the PlaysForSure logo.

*A previously existing or new home network, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Media Connect Software (free for licensed users of Microsoft Windows operating system through Windows updates) are required for all home network and Home Media Gallery features. **The PlaysForSure logo, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks or regis- tered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

***DRM (Digital Rights Management)-protected files on the server are not playable on this player and show up in the Home Media Gallery with a lock icon next to them.
