HDMI® Output – Simple One Cable Connection
A one cable connection carries complete digital audio and video content between your HDTV and the BD-HP24U player for the best high-definition video and highest fidelity audio in home theater today. Blu-ray Disc™ technology brings the multiplex experience right to your home.
Full HD Resolution
An Amazing Home Theater Experience Enjoyed in the Comfort of Your Home - The Blu-ray Disc™ format has full 1080p resolution capability – that’s the maximum picture resolution available today. 1080p = 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, progressively scanned.
High Fidelity Audio – Real Life-Like Sound
Blu-ray Disc™ technology lets you take advantage of the latest surround sound formats such as Dolby® TrueHD and DTS Master Audio. This means you will enjoy high quality lossless 7.1 Channel digital surround that is bit-for-bit the equivalent of the master recording.
HDMI® Up-scaling – Backwards Compatible
Even your existing standard definition DVD library can look better than ever because Blu-ray Disc™ players are backwards compatible with your DVDs. By optimizing standard DVD playback signals to 1080p (when displaying on a 1080p capable HDTV with HDMI® technology), the BD-HP24U can deliver more picture and sound quality.

The AQUOS LINK® function allows you to control both your AQUOS LCD TV and your AQUOS Blu-ray Disc™ player together. When you connect your AQUOS LCD TV to the Blu-ray Disc™ player via an HDMI® connection, you will have seamless interoperability between your AQUOS LCD TV and the BD-HP24U. AQUOS LINK™ also features the ability to control on-screen with other manufacturers' remotes.
