Message Text: Samsung today announced U.S. pricing, availability and new features for its 2011 Smart Blu-ray player line.

The seven new Blu-ray players come loaded with Smart Blu-ray features, including access to Web content and services through Smart Hub, media sharing across devices with AllShare and integrated support for One Foot Connection, Samsung's new networking setup. The majority of Samsung's Smart Blu-ray players support 3D playback. One highlight of this year's lineup is the world?s slimmest Blu-ray player - the BD-D7500 - measuring a slim 0.9-inch in height. The expanded lineup includes the world's first AV Receiver with an integrated 3D Blu-ray player, the HW-D7000.

All 2011 Smart Blu-ray players offer Samsung's new patented One Foot Connection feature, when paired with the Samsung wireless router. Setting up a connection is easy - users simply place the Blu-ray player within one foot of the router during setup to establish a connection. The player will then maintain this connection regardless of where it?s placed in the home. One Foot Connection makes Internet allows users to ccess their favorite Samsung Apps.

Further simplifying Internet connectivity out of the box, the majority of the Smart Blu-ray player line, including the BD-D5700, BD-D6500, BD-D6700, BD-D7000 and BD-D7500, has built-in Wi-Fi, while the BD-D5300 and BD-D5500 are Wi-Fi-enabled with the addition of a wireless LAN adapter (sold separately).



In 2011, Samsung built support for full HD playback with 3D into five of the seven new Blu-ray players.

The BD-D7500, BD-D7000 and BD-D6700 incorporate Samsung's new 3D Converter technology to deliver 3D up-conversion of movies, pictures and streaming video at the push of a button. Samsung's proprietary Hyper Real Engine also promised to deliver detailed picture quality by ensuring clarity, motion and color performance remain at optimal levels.

The 2011 line offers built-in support for Dolby True HD across the full lineup; DTS-HD is also integrated in the BD-D6500 and higher.

This year, the entire portfolio also features the new Ultra Fast Play technology, which slashes the boot-up time by 80 percent to just three seconds.

All of the 2011 Smart Blu-ray players embody Samsung?s 3S concept design philosophy - symmetric, slim and slot-in. The units are designed as symmetric products, with all major functions placed in the middle. The slot-in design concept eliminates the need for moving parts and makes the unit quieter and more efficient.

This philosophy is seen in the world's slimmest Blu-ray player, the BD-D7500. The wall-mountable unit is a slim 0.9-inch in height and features a brushed metal finish that matches with Samsung's 2011 LED and Plasma TV models.

Samsung's design philosophy has also resulted in practical form factors. The minimalist BD-D7000 personifies functionality. The player features a hidden slot for disc loading that pops up from the center of the player and a unique cube design with a silver metal casing that wraps around the player to add sophistication.





Sound bar and standalone AV receiver

Samsung also today announced the U.S. availability and pricing of the company?s new line of home entertainment systems. The company announced 10 models across three categories ? Blu-ray home theater, sound bar and standalone AV receiver.
