See and hear as the film-makers intended
HD Digital Film Direct: 24fpsThe BDP-LX70 gets the best out of high definition media. It delivers ‘master quality’; audio and video exactly as the film-makers intended, perfectly played back at 1080p and 24Hz.

We call this ‘HD Digital Film Direct’; it ensures that what you see is at exactly the same speed and using the same 24 frames per second as the film was shot, stored, mastered and screened at the cinema.

Dolby TrueHDThe player supports Dolby TrueHD. This means that not only are you guaranteed full high definition video quality, but “lossless” audio: sound without any distortion, interference or noise. Audio exactly as the film sound engineers intended.

Build a true HD home network solution
DLNAThe BDP-LX70 can therefore receive compressed audio, movie and image files across your home IP network.

The player is DLNA compatible (by Ethernet), which means that content can be streamed from your home computer to the player.

High quality design and build
The BDP-LX70 has an efficient, double-layered chassis, which delivers incredible mechanical stability; important in ensuring interference-free playback of media.

Each component within the player is designed for high-performance, with the main circuit, power supply, Blu-ray drive and audio circuits sealed for mechanical strength. Gold-plated terminals further enhance the BDP-LX70 promise of high quality, high definition output.

Multiple formats, multiple media
The BDP-LX70 is not only a Blu-ray disc player, but can also play your entire DVD collection, supporting both PAL and NTSC playback. And of course, it can play audio CDs, too.

Straightforward, simple operation
HDMIFinally, the player uses HDMI control, which means that, once it is connected to one of our flat-screen TV’s, for example, a single remote control can be used to control both the player and the screen.
