Samsung Introduces Third Generation Blu-Ray Disc Player
New Blu-ray player enlivens home cinema experience with advanced HD audio playback, 1080p resolution, and 24 movie frames-per-second.
SAMSUNG's Digital World

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in consumer electronics and digital technology, expands its line-up of high-definition video products with the launch of the BD-P1400 Blu-ray disc player. Now entertainment aficionados can enjoy at home the closest experience to watching movies in a cinema. Building on the success of Samsung's BD-P1000 (the world’s first Blu-ray player), this all-new model quenches the thirst of consumers for not only the best video possible, but also high-quality audio in a high-definition disc player.


“Samsung is excited to introduce a new high-definition player that will enrich the theatre experience at home,” said U.C. Lee, general manager, CE Products Sales and Marketing of Samsung Electronics H.K. Co. Ltd. “In 2008, the market for stand-alone HD players will grow to nearly three times what it is this year. With the new third generation Blu-ray disc player BD-P1400, Samsung offers the best high-definition digital experience to meet this growing consumer demand.”

Samsung's new BD-P1400 offers full compatibility with 24 movie frames per second playback. Since most movies are filmed at 24 frames per second, these new Samsung Blu-ray players will be able to playback movies in their native format, significantly reducing unwanted artifacts. Setting the player’s Movie Frame (24Fs) feature to ON will allow customers to adjust the HDMI v1.3 output to 24 frames per second for a crisp, theatre-like experience. Each of these players will also support 60Fs for enhanced compatibility with many of today’s HDTVs.


In addition, BD-P1400 also supports Bitstream technology. Customers can easily connect the Blu-ray player to other HD devices to enjoy high quality A/V enjoyment.

Not only is it important for movies to look good, but they also need to sound good. Samsung's latest BD player completes the HD total home theater experience with advanced HD audio decoding. Beyond standard Dolby Digital and DTS audio playback, BD-P1400 works with Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD for a variety of clear, full-bodied sound options. When coupled with the HDMI v1.3 connection, consumers can enjoy some of the purest sound available today.

The HDMI v1.3 connection also offers HDMI CEC (Anynet+) technology, allowing customers to use a single remote control to operate the BD player, TV and other A/V products from Samsung. Additionally, BD-P1400 is able to up-convert standard DVD discs to full HD 1080p resolution via the HDMI connection, bringing DVD movie collections into the next generation.

For those with extensive DVD collections, the BD-P1400 model includes backward compatibility with standard DVD and CD formats (including DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD and CD-R). Playback of multimedia content in a variety of different formats is quick and easy at 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions. The “Easy Top Menu” feature allows customers to change font and color of subtitles and menu titles according to their tastes, as well as the background color and menu graphics.
