The BDP-S5000ES takes full advantage of high-definition Blu-ray Discs to deliver breathtaking picture and sound. It belongs to Sony's renowned ES family of audio/video gear. ES stands for "elevated standards" of construction and performance, and Sony pulled out all the stops to develop a Blu-ray player worthy of the ES name.
Captivating images with both Blu-ray discs and DVDs
You'll enjoy an eye-catching picture with rich colors and remarkable depth, thanks to Sony's HD Reality Enhancer. It constantly monitors the image coming from the disc and sharpens edges while reducing film grain. This gives every movie you watch — whether on Blu-ray or standard DVD — a cleaner, more three-dimensional look. Sony's Super Bit Mapping eliminates "banding" by expanding the color depth for smoother transitions between shades of the same color.
A great picture deserves great sound
The 'S5000ES also delivers riveting audio to enhance your viewing experience. This player handles all of the newest surround sound formats, including "lossless" Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™ Master Audio. It can decode these
soundtracks internally or output them in their native bitstreams, letting you enjoy top-notch surround sound with most home theater receivers.
Bonus material taken to the next level
Support for BonusView and BD-Live lets you enjoy the extra features available on some Blu-ray movies. BonusView gives you access to picture-in-picture directors' commentaries, while BD-Live lets you use your broadband Internet
connection to access online services and additional bonus material. You can even download some features and save them to the included 1-gigabyte USB flash drive.
Solid construction for top-flight performance
This hefty player's audio and video circuit boards are isolated in separate blocks to avoid interference and maintain signal purity. And the rigid frame-and-beam chassis suppresses performance-robbing vibrations to help the 'S5000ES deliver pristine reproductions of your favorite films.
