As a full-line media player, the BDS 2 receiver is a great way to kick-start the home theater system of your dreams. Doing a brilliant impression of your local cineplex, the compact BDS 2 is an all-in-one home entertainment solution, coming complete with a 2.1-channel Blu-ray Disc? receiver, Dolby? Virtual Speaker sound processing, an HDMI? output and a USB port that?s good for importing all your favorite music, video and picture files. It also looks quite good ? possessing a modern design, stylish aesthetics and attractive dimensions that help it fit into virtually any design scheme. Ultimately, the BDS 2 is a part of the household that may have you rethinking any plans to go ?out? to the movies.
Because it has built-in Dolby? Virtual Speaker technology, the 2.1-channel BDS 2 digital receiver is able to create a virtual 5.1-channel surround-sound experience for multiple listeners ? from only two speakers. This is a tremendous plus, given that not every room has enough space for the six speakers needed to accommodate true 5.1-channel surround sound. The result? Exciting, engaging Dolby sound that?s so realistic and compelling, you?ll be shocked that it?s coming from just two speakers.
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 absolutely will. By delivering HD digital video and high-resolution audio at the highest possible level (up to 1080p), the BDS 2 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?
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 2 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 ? most likely with much greater picture quality than your computer monitor can deliver.
