Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player ( SUPER DEAL !!!!! )

Built and designed for HD movie entertainment, Pioneer’s entry-level BDP-120 Blu-ray player delivers ten times better picture quality and twenty times better audio performance than a conventional DVD player.

Sitting only 58mm high and taking only 0.8 seconds to start-up from stand-by mode, the BDP-120 is Pioneer’s fastest and slimmest Blu-ray player on the market.

Connect to a high definition television and experience the real-cinema quality never seen before on a DVD player or VCR machine. Superseding Pioneer’s previous entry-level (BDP-51FD) Blu-ray player, the BDP-120 is equipped with improvements, such as BD-Live™, Quick Start and built-in memory, as well as featuring standard Pioneer Blu-ray features like comprehensive on-board HD audio decoding and bitstream audio.

Moreover, add high-performance DVD playback to the list of features and you have a Blu-ray Disc player that delivers the picture quality, product connectivity and compatibility, which justifies an upgrade from DVD.

See the difference with Pioneer Blu-ray 1080p/24fps

One of the most compelling reasons to upgrade from DVD to Blu-ray is the vast improvement in picture quality Blu-ray has to offer. Thanks to Blu-ray technology, we can now watch a movie and see/hear the action exactly as the film director intended. In general, Hollywood blockbuster movies are filmed with 1080p high definition camera, which captures scenes in 24 frames per second. Each frame is critical to the overall excellent picture quality you experience when you go to a cinema. This exact cinema-like picture quality can now be replicated in your own living room courtesy of the Pioneer BDP-120, which will playback a Blu-ray Hollywood blockbuster movie in high definition / 24 frames per second, so you can see exactly what the director saw when he was looking through his camera, capturing the scene. Conventional DVD players are incapable of playing back a movie as it was originally captured - in 1080p high definition and 24 frames per second. Instead, a DVD player is forced to manipulate the image, resulting in an inferior movie picture on your HD TV.

BD-Live™ (Profile 2.0)

To take full advantage of the extra features becoming available on Blu-ray Discs, the BDP-120 features BD-Live™, which will further enhance and personalise the consumer’s entertainment experience. Courtesy of BD-Live, users can watch a Blu-ray disc movie whilst watching the bonus features at the same time, such as picture in picture. The BDP-120 Blu-ray player is equipped with an Ethernet port that allows movie enthusiasts to connect to the Internet to download data such as subtitles, images and bonus trailers, synchronise viewing with other BD-Live players and join in live chat sessions, online gaming and video messaging when viewing BD-Live™ compatible titles.To provide storage capacity for BD-Live entertainment, Pioneer’s BDP-120 model features a USB port for use with compatible flash drives and hard disc drives.

Pioneer’s Fastest & Slimmest Blu-ray player

The BDP-120 is the fastest Pioneer Blu-ray player on the market thanks to a new Quick Start feature. No need to wait – the unit starts up in 0.8 seconds from stand-by, ready for instant viewing. Capable of going where no other Pioneer Blu-ray has gone, the BDP-120 measures only 58mm high, allowing it to be easily placed into a smaller space on a TV stand or A/V rack.

12-Bit Deep Colour

Taking advantage of HDMI® 1.3a technology, Pioneer brings film aficionados to the frontier of next generation entertainment with the most cutting edge video processing available. Since its market inception, Blu-ray technology has promised to deliver picture quality that is on par with going to the movies. When it comes to delivering on that promise, the Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray Disc player does not disappoint thanks to the implementation of 12-Bit Deep Colour. Equipped with 12-Bit Deep Colour, the BDP-120 produces an unprecedented range of hues and shades, resulting in greater colour depth and detail.

High Quality Playback of Existing DVD Library

Pioneer has continued to enhance high performance DVD playback on the BDP-120. DVDs can be up-scaled to a 1080p resolution for improved picture quality and compatibility with HDTVs.

Hear the difference with Pioneer Blu-ray

Pioneer recognises the vital importance that sound plays in creating an emotional home entertainment experience and for film enthusiasts who want to a sound experience on par with being at the movies. Thanks to on-board HD audio decoding, the Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player does not disappoint.

By offering on-board decoding of the latest HD audio formats, consumers can connect the BDP-120 Blu-ray player to an existing high quality AV receiver, such as the VSX-519V, and enjoy the benefits of HD home entertainment, without having to upgrade to a HD AV receiver. The Pioneer BDP-120 will also provide bitstream audio over the HDMI jack for all of the above formats. Consumers will hear the subtle nuances and deep bass in their favourite films to bring an unprecedented listening experience that transcends what was previously thought possible in home theatre. 

Pioneer Home Theatre Synergy

Working in tandem with Pioneer’s KURO displays technology and range of HD A/V receivers, the new BDP-120 completes the home entertainment experience, allowing consumers to immerse themselves in stunning HD content. Home theatre synergy on the BDP-120 is best demonstrated through KURO Control, which synchronizes the Blu-ray Disc player with Pioneer’s KURO plasma displays with other Pioneer HDMI-control enabled home theatre products such as Pioneer A/V amplifier. The KURO Control allows users to operate their basic operations including Playback or Power ON/OFF on all products with a single remote control. Anyone can easily perform these operations by pressing the HDMI Control button on the remote control and following the menu displayed on the screen.

Single-Wire Connection

One HDMI® 1.3a digital connection is all you need from the BDP-120 to output both HD audio and video signals to your HDMI-Repeater A/V receiver or HD flat panel. Compared to typical connections, the HDMI interface replaces multiple cords without degradation in signal quality between components. HDMI 1.3a also provides 12-bit deep colour support, improving subtle gradations between colours.
