Sony Cranks Out 400-Disc Blu-ray MegaChangers
By Rachel Cericola
The company just announced the BDP-CX960 and the "Elevated Standard" (ES) BDP-CX7000ES. Both models can store and play 400 Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, and CDs, and output full HD 1080/60p and 24p True Cinema. Each machine also features HD Reality Enhancer and Super Bit Mapping technologies, which can smooth the edges, enhance detail and colors and reduce some of the grain.
Put a disc into the device and it will automatically organize movies and music using Gracenote's MusicID and VideoID system -- if it's hooked up to the web via the Ethernet port. Some of the information displayed will include title, director, release year, genre and some cast information. Then users can navigate through the library using Sony's patented xross media bar menu system.
Sony's BDP-CX7000ES is part of the "Elevated Standard" (ES) line.
In case you don't have a mega-collection, the company also just announced the BDP-S1000ES single-disc ES series Blu-ray player. That unit offers built-in Wi-Fi access and full HD 1080/60p and 24p True Cinema output. The model also incorporates Sony's HD Reality Enhancer, Super Bit Mapping, and Precision Drive HD technology. It will be available next month for $699.99.
The BDP-CX7000ES will also be available next month for $1,899.99. The BDP-CX960 is coming in the fall for $799.99.
