What’s Available in the Blu-ray Players Market: Check Out Pioneer, Marantz, Panasonic.
Pioneer has been producing Blu-ray devices essentially since the format’s release, however we don’t get around to critiquing many of them by reason of their hefty price tags.
The corporation announced three new Blu- ray devices here at CES 2009, one of which functions Pioneer’s Elite label, along with the two less costly models look to be priced competitively with other suppliers.
The key highlights of the Pioneer BDP-120 are profile 2.0 compatible, onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and 1GB USB flash drive incorporated.
The Marantz BD7004 is the middleman in Marantz’s most recent Blu- ray line- up, sandwiched amid the reference- class Marantz UD9004 and entry- level Marantz BD5004. Having a price tag pushing$ 800 it’s clearly aimed at potential buyers who take home cinema seriously, and that’s reflected in the stylish build quality and high- grade electronics lurking inside it.
The Panasonic DMP-BD60‘s plus point is its rock- solid performance, but if you desire the latest and greatest sports you’ll need to look elsewhere.
Just to note, Panasonic had a stand- out 2008 on the Blu- ray players front, with the Panasonic DMP- BD35 earning the first Editor’s Choice award for a standalone Blu- ray player. After learning most of the basic Blu- ray functions, like BD- live and high resolution audio decoding, it looks like the two recent players, the Panasonic DMP- BD60 and Panasonic DMP- BD80, are mostly incremental updates to the existing Blu- ray players.
