The revolution continues with the BDP-BX37 Blu-ray Disc™ player. Watch Blu-ray Disc movies in Full HD 1080p and upscale your existing DVD collection via HDMI™ to near HD quality. In addition to a superior picture, this player supports Dolby® TrueHD and dts-HD audio codecs for up to 7.1 channels of high-definition sound. There's even quick start-up mode which begins operating your Blu-ray Disc player in approximately six seconds from the time it is powered on. Featuring BD-Live™ compatibility, you can take full advantage of the Bonus View feature of select Blu-ray movies as well as acquire the latest features and updates as they become available. And navigation of the player's menus is a breeze thanks to the icon-based Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™) menu system.

Full HD 1080p video output

Full HD 1080p video output provides high-resolution HD images so you can take full advantage of your HDTV and the detail of Blu-ray Disc™ video content. BD/DVD/CD and AVCHDTM compatibility lets you play your favorite Blu-ray Disc™ movies, DVDs, audio CDs, and AVCHD-format discs.

Support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby® and dts®

The BDP-BX37 Blu-ray Disc™ player supports both internal decoding and bitstream output of enhanced audio codecs, including Dolby® TrueHD and dts®-HD Master Audio. These high definition audio formats deliver “lossless” surround sound with up to 7.1 channels of discrete audio that is nearly identical to the master studio recording, allowing you to enjoy uncompromised sound from the comfort of your living room.

Ethernet port

The ethernet port lets you connect the BDP-S37 to your home’s existing broadband network to access bonus features on BD-Live and YouTube enabled Blu-ray Disc™ movies.

24p True Cinema™

24p True Cinema technology lets you watch films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) -- the way movies are shot and mastered -- so you can enjoy cinematic picture quality.

DVD Upscaling via HDMI™ technology

DVD Upscaling via HDMI™ makes your existing standard DVDs look better on your HDTV by upscaling them to near HD quality.

Quick Start Mode

Quick Start Mode lets you begin operating your Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ player approximately six seconds from the time it's powered on.

x.v.Color™ output

x.v.Color™ output plays AVCHD-format discs with support for the international xvYCC color standard, producing images with nearly twice as many viewable colors as the existing RGB color standard.

Precision Cinema HD Upscale

Precision Cinema HD Upscale circuitry delivers accurate and vivid images with clarity and detail that are faithful to the source -- whether film or video (upscaled image quality will vary). This circuitry uses advanced conversion and processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. Additionally, separate algorithms are used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.

BD-Live™ Technology

BD-Live™ technology brings you the next generation of interactivity, allowing you to connect to the internet to access bonus features on BD-Live enabled Blu-ray Disc™ movies, including additional scenes, shorts, trailers, movie-based games, and more. (External memory (sold separately) is required.)

Xross Media Bar™ technology

Sony’s exclusive xross media bar user interface makes it simple and intuitive to navigate television menus, controls, and user settings.

BRAVIA® Sync™

BRAVIA® Sync™ technology lets you enjoy the convenience of one remote control to operate and control all your compatible home entertainment devices. It utilizes the HDMI™ CEC function to easily turn on and control your compatible HDMI-connected components without having to use multiple remote controls.

Bonus View

Built-in USB port enables you to connect a portable USB storage device (sold separately) for additional storage capacity and lets you take advantage of specially created content on BD-Live™ with compatible Blu-ray Disc™ media.
