Sony Blu-Ray

Welcome to Blu-ray


A new world of entertainment
Sony products with Blu-ray Disc™ technology unlock the next generation of home entertainment.

If you love movies, gaming or music, nothing comes close to the power of Blu-ray Disc™. It looks like a DVD... but there are some very big differences.

Blu-ray Disc™ offers five times the capacity of a standard DVD, so it's the ultimate way to enjoy full-length movies with the best possible High Definition pictures, stunning digital multi-channel sound and loads of interactive extras

All Sony Blu-ray products take High Definition to another level bringing you unsurpassed entertainment and interaction like you have never experienced before.

Blu-ray technology is at the centre of our new line up of great products. Discover outstanding picture quality, uncompressed audio and amazing detail that goes beyond anything you have known before

What is Blu-ray Disc™?

Blu-ray Disc™ is the new generation of high-capacity optical disc. Each disc can hold up to five times more information than a DVD so you can store High Definition digital video, sound, pictures, games, PC files - in fact, just about anything you want. It's the future format for home entertainment.

What can I do with Blu-ray Disc™?

Blu-ray Disc™ opens up the possibility of more complex, detailed games and more lifelike movies full of vibrant colours with crystal clear sound. Blu-ray Disc™ changes the rules of what's possible in home entertainment.

The Ultimate picture quality

Remember the first time you saw how DVD pictures looked fantastic compared with ordinary television transmissions? That's because DVD uses a higher bit-rate than conventional TV broadcasts, and more digital information means better picture and sound quality.

It's the same story with Blu-ray Disc™. Recording and playing back digital data at an extraordinary 40 Mbps (megabits per second), Blu-ray Disc™ can effortlessly display Full HD images at 1920x1080 line resolution with progressive scanning: and that means better picture quality than any HDTV transmission.

And with the option of 24 frame output, you can enjoy movies exactly as you would in the cinema.

High Definition Sound

High Definition is about the audio as much as it is about the picture. With HD sound you get a lossless recreation of the original master recording. With Blu-ray Disc™ we can now deliver this sound straight to your living room.

This digital multi-channel sound is an absolutely central part of the cinema going experience - just imagine paying to watch the latest blockbuster without the bangs, crashes, rumbles and other effects that literally make you shake in your seat. With HD sound you feel like you are part of the action.

Sony knew from the outset that sound was going to be a vital component of Blu-ray, and so the format can handle up to 32 different audio streams.

That means that each disc can accommodate a vast range of audio formats, from stereo right up to uncompressed 7.1 multichannel surround which delivers sound beyond anything you've experienced before.

Blu-ray Disc™ captures and reproduces master-quality music and sound through the best possible playback of any HD format when using compatible media and receivers with HDMI technology
