Blu-ray discs are the ultimate HD format, completely redefining everything you ever knew about the world
of digit al enter tainment. Blu-ray discs offer immense storage capacity of up to 50 GB. That’s more than enough
space to mee t the demands of real High Definition entertainment with its huge range of options – including
1080p/24 playback, new audio and video codecs.
Film as seen
from the director’s chair.
Bring original cinema-quality pictures to your home.
The BDP-L X70A delivers the kind of exclusive performance you’ve only ever seen at the
cinema. It’s one of the few Blu-ray disc players that offers video pl ayback at
the ‘native’ 1080p resolution, without tampering with the 24 frames per
second cadence – with w hich the films were shot, mastered and st ored on disc.
The sound of High Definition.
It takes the right sound to convey the true intensit y of a gripping movie scene.
The BDP-L X70A outputs the new lossless audio Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
format streams over HDMI to your compliant AV amplifier. Put simply, you can now enjoy
high-resolution images accompanied by lush, studio-quality HD sound. True to the original
and exactly as the director intended.
No home network? Pl ay PC files directly from DVD.
Not e v er y one has a home net work (ye t ). So, t hese users
cannot readily enjoy the multimedia con t ent from their
PC files? The y can wit h t he BDP-L X70A: it suppor t s a
Disc Navigator function that enables pl ayback of t he
same con t ent format s as via it s Home Media Gal l er y

The fast lane to finer quality.
HDMI is a must-have interface for pristine quality.
It enables the transfer of High Definition content with
no loss of qualit y. In addition, this Blu-ray disc player
features HDMI Control – allowing you to operate it with
your KURO remote control.
Multimedia comes alive.
The Blu-ray disc pl ayer lets you play digital videos,
digital still photos and compressed
music files stored in your home
network. It provides you with easy
access to digital media, for example from PCs,
running a DLNA-compatible digital media server or
the server included in Microsoft Windows Media
Pl ayer 11. This means it allows browsing and
playback of stored Windows Media or MPEG-2 videos,
JPEG still photos or WAV and compressed music
files. Extremely easy operation is ensured by an
