The BD-SP308’s onboard decoders bring you the lossless, studio-

master quality of DolbyTrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential

for Blu-ray Disc.The player outputs these formats in pure bitstream

form via HDMI 1.3a, meaning nothing is lost from the original

enjoy playback of standard Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel content

via the onboard coaxial digital output.

Blu-ray Disc delivers the most vivid and detailed video images ever

seen in home cinema. A disc played back on the BD-SP308 can be

output in full high-definition 1080p at 24 frames per second—the

compatibility with the increasingly popular AVCHD and DivX HD

formats, which employ high-compression video codecs. Now you can

enjoy big-screen playback of high-definition video clips recorded on a

compatible camcorder and stored on a DVD R/RW.
