Pioneer to Introduce New Blu-Ray Disc Player in Japan
Pioneer announced today the introduction of the BDP-LX80, a new Blu-ray Disc Player for the Japanese market.
The Pioneer BDP-LX80 supports bitstream output of the next-generation audio formats - Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, as well as linear PCM 7.1-channel output of the same formats.
The new BD player is designed for seamless home theater integration via HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) technology.
