Pioneerhas three BD-Live Blu-ray players out in April, the BDP-120 hits under$300, but the step-up BDP-320 and Elite BDP-23FD actually sense the TVyou're watching and tweak video output for max awesomeness.
Welove to talk about calibration, but soon, our TVs and disc players willcalibrate themselves. Pioneer's new sub-$400 BDP-320 and the $600BDP-23FD sense the picture settings when it's connected to a 9G Kuroplasma, and adjusts the video output. If you want to tweak it yourself,the disc players have 13 different video adjustment options. (MostBlu-ray players have like three or four.) And if you don't have a Kuro9G, not to worry: The same technology at work here will soon be able tosense what TV you do have, and—assuming you have the TV in some defaultor preset configuration—will be able to make adjustments there too.That same "Kuro Link" also lets you control Blu-ray, TV and Pioneer A/Vreceiver with one remote.
That's not all these higher-end models can do. When paired with asoon-to-be-announced Pioneer Elite receiver, it will also streamperfectly jitter-free surround sound audio including Dolby TrueHD andDTS-HD Master Audio. It uses the same Precision Quartz Lock System thatmakes Pioneer's current flagship Blu-ray player one of the greatest CDplayers ever made, only now it can sync up multichannel, too, so thatevery packet of sound data that leaves the disc player is accounted foron the receiver end before it's played.
The BDP-120 player is no slouch, with BD-Live, a 1GB flash drive,fast disc loading, USB expandable memory that includes bus-powered harddrives.
You may notice that there's no Netflix or any other video-on-demandcapability like the Korean Blu-ray players have; Pioneer noticed thattoo, telling us only to stay tuned, and that features like that are"definitely coming" later this year. I went so far as to ask for wi-fi,and was surprised to hear that even that may happen soon. But probablyfor way more than $250. [Pioneer]
