Philips’ BDP7100 brings stunning 1080p true high definition pictures, and brilliant imagery. Rich surround sound is heightened with Dolby TrueHDâ„¢ and DTS HD High Resolution Audioâ„¢ multi-channel audio decoding and digital audio optical outputs. Being able to playback a current collection of CD and DVD and enhancing the picture quality of DVDs by upscaling them to 1080p is a major attraction to consumers who, as they migrate to HDTV sets, find that standard DVDs do not offer the HD content they expect.
