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.
Quick Start

Unlike many other players, the BD-HP70U has an impressive start-up time allowing you to begin watching your movies in as little as 10 seconds.
Included Wi-Fi Dongle
The included wi-fi USB dongle allows a connection to your wireless router. The 802.11 wireless dongle provides access to BD Live bonus content as well as Netflix streaming and YouTube viewing, while helping to eliminate the cable clutter that often interferes with your entertainment viewing.
JPEG Viewing

AQUOS LINK™ Function
Seamless Operation among Sharp Audio/Video Products with One Remote Control – Why use two remotes when you can use one? 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.
BD Live - provides consumers access to a wide variety of real-time content via a network connection, such as movie scene extras, new previews, games, chat and more. The Bonus View function provides access to picture-in-picture special features, allowing you to simultaneously watch your favorite movie scenes and added bonus features (on compatible disc).
AQUOS PURE MODE - provides seamless optimization of Blu-ray Disc™ content. When the Sharp BD-HP24U is connected to an AQUOS TV through an HDMI® cable, the AQUOS TV will automatically switch to "dot by dot" mode to deliver full 1080 video content. The BD-HP24U/AQUOS TV combination provides the most optimized Blu-ray resolution and best possible picture.
