A superb surround-sound experience.
When paired with the right home theater speaker system, the 5.1-channel
BDS 5 digital receiver soars to great heights, providing a
thrilling surround-sound experience for multiple listeners.
By integrating Dolby® Digital and DTS® surround-sound
technologies, the BDS 5 is able to decode film soundtracks – including
Dolby and DTS high-resolution soundtracks from Blu-ray Disc™ recordings – in
their native formats. By presenting every nuance of a movie
score – just as it’s meant to be heard – the
BDS 5 does a praiseworthy job of reproducing audio that’s
precise and faithful to what the filmmaker intended.
Crystal-clear HDMI® perfection.
When it comes to watching your favorite movies and TV shows,
you want to enjoy the best high-definition picture and sound
quality available. Thanks to the integration of an HDMI® 1.3a
output, you will. By delivering HD digital video and high-resolution
audio at the highest possible level (up to 1080p), the BDS
5 allows you to experience each frame of Hollywood action as
it was shot – without quality loss due to conversion
or compression of a video or audio signal. After all, if you’re
going to recreate the movie theater experience at home, why
not come as close to the real thing as possible?
A multitalented multimedia player.
Imagine a receiver that can play every song, video or picture
file you throw its way – all on your flat-screen TV.
Serving as a multimedia device that’s capable of playing
media as sophisticated as Blu-ray Disc™ technology (or
even casual videos shot on your iPhone device) straight from
the USB port, the BDS 5 offers great flexibility you might
never have deemed possible. Simply attach a device (such as
a flash drive) to the front-panel USB port, which makes temporary
connections easy, and watch your media manifest itself before
your very eyes. That’s all it takes: One hard drive and
you’re instantly watching MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MP3, WMA and
JPEG files – with greater quality than your computer
monitor could ever deliver.
Take control with preprogrammed/learning remote.
There’s nothing more frustrating than a coffee table stacked
with more remote controls than coffee-table books. That’s
why the BDS 5 simplifies your life by having one remote control
that’s capable of controlling your TV, cable boxes, satellite
tuners and home theater system. And with an on-screen menu that
makes setting up and using the system simple, the BDS 5 can give
you a level of synchronicity among your components that will
make your life easier.
Dynamic digital-amplifier technology.
Going digital has many benefits when it comes to technology such
as digital amplifiers — including the BDS 5 receiver.
With the BDS 5, your audio signal is smooth because it reduces
conversion artifacts and improves sound quality by keeping
the sound in the digital domain – from the sound source
to the amplifier output. In addition, by utilizing digital
amplifier technology, the BDS 5 keeps its receiver size small
to ensure your system generates less heat than others – a
benefit when it comes to reducing your carbon footprint. Ultimately,
the BDS 5 provides not just an optimal entertainment experience
but an energy-efficient one as well.
Gain extensive connectivity through multiple inputs and outputs.
With three digital inputs and two line outputs, the BDS 5 empowers
you with great flexibility for mixing and matching other systems.
And even though the BDS 5 provides you with everything you
expect out of your home theater (and more), you can expand
your system using multiple audio sources at any time. In addition,
the BDS 5 offers up extensive connectivity in ways that more
limited systems can only dream of. It even has an Ethernet
port that allows you to connect to the Internet via your local
area network, so you can take advantage of BD-Live™ interactivity – a
next-generation technology that allows you to create your own
programming with MP3, WMA and JPEG playback.
Enhanced display features designed to save energy.
Thanks to a dot-matrix information display that communicates
freely with you to deliver status messages, the BDS 5 allows
you to play music without turning on the TV – a forward-thinking
feature that saves you energy. Additionally, a screen-saver
function prevents image burn-in on CRT and plasma displays.
The BDS 5 even has a cover-art display function as a nod to
state-of-the-art MP3 player technology. It can show you the
artist and album you’re listening to, thanks to audio
files with ID3 tags from USB devices.
Improve the quality of your connections.
You can never have too-secure a cable connection when it comes
to preventing disruptions to your signal. That’s why
the BDS 5 has heavy-duty, gold-plated binding-post speaker
connectors to help you achieve the strongest connection possible – hence
minimizing the likelihood of distortion or interference. The
BDS 5 receiver is also compatible with a variety of speaker
wires – accepting banana connectors, spade connectors,
pin connectors, bare wire and any other connectors you’re
likely to find. To help you simplify the process before installing
the unit, the BDS 5 also comes with a detachable IEC power
cord that you can run to the installation site with ease.
Intuitive playlist memory.
It’s nice to have a home theater system with a great memory.
By having a playlist function in place to store the locations
of frequently used media, the BDS 5 receiver remembers your favorite
selections, making it easy for you to play files stored on your
USB devices or CD-Rs – with a minimum of button pushing.
It’s one thing to listen to your receiver on a stellar
home theater system. But when it listens to you and remembers
your commands, isn’t that a nice bonus?
Be ready when it comes to upgrades.
Keep your receiver’s performance up to speed with the latest
software for improved operation – at the moment upgrades
become available. With the BDS 5’s on-screen display (OSD),
you can simplify the upgrade process and ensure your BDS 5 receiver
is consistently running in line with its highest potential – keeping
you as up to date as humanly possible.
An impressive solo performance.
Sometimes when you’re watching a sporting event or movie
in your living room at night using the BDS 5 with a 5.1-channel
speaker system, those sleeping in the other rooms (or even neighbors)
can take note of the experience. That’s why the BDS 5 comes
with a headphone jack, so you can enjoy your very own private
listening experience and not have to worry that sound is traveling
outside your immediate four walls.
