Blu-ray is the latest version of the popular 5” optical disc format that began with the CD. Blu-ray was made possible by the development of a practical violet laser whose light wavelength is shorter than the red lasers used by CD and DVD players. This allows for a more focused spot that can read smaller and more densely packed pits that generate the “digital 1s and 0s” that represent the picture and sound that is then decoded by the player for viewing.

Blu-ray Disc has over 5 times the data capacity of DVD. HD programs are protected by multiple layers of DRM (Digital Rights Management or ‘Copy Protection’) and can only be transmitted from Player to TV Display by the encrypted HDMI interface.

High Definition playback requires that the entire signal path be capable of digital bandwidth of 150 Megahertz. This means you’ll need the very latest TV and AV Receiver as well as Category 2 HDMI cables. Be sure the entire system supports “1080p”. Get it all right and the result is stunning... especially on screen sizes 50” and larger!
