One HDMI 1.3a digital connection is all you need from the BDP-51FD to output both HD audio and video signals to your HDMI-capable A/V receiver or HD flat panel. Compared to typical connections, the HDMI interface replaces multiple cords without degradation in signal quality between components. HDMI 1.3a also provides 12-bit deep color support, improving subtle gradations between colors. The BDP-51FD supports HDMI Control, which allows you to seamlessly control all your HDMI Control-equipped Pioneer A/V equipment with a single remote. Each DAC features a signal-to-noise ratio of 117db. Wolfson DACs provide top-notch audio performance from music and movie soundtracks. Utilizing a Pioneer developed IC, this circuit digitally reshapes the waveform of the audio clock to greatly reduce jitter for all content. 3D Noise Reduction based on pixel-per-pixel basis reduces Gaussian Noise without blurring the image. By tuning the low-pass filter, waveform distortion of the coaxial digital output is greatly reduced for improved audio performance. The BDP-51FD features internal decoding of all advanced audio formats including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master.

The power user's Blu-ray player of choice.
The Pioneer BDP-51FD is one of the most well built Blu-ray players under $500 you will find in the market. And, with its latest v1.17 firmware virtually all of the bugs have been squashed plus DVD upconversion is now superior even to high end chipsets like Silicon Optix Reon. Pretty amazing what big strides this player has made in a short period of time.
The Wolfsen DACs provide outstanding analog audio and the many A/V tweaks such as the Source Direct feature will keep tweakheads .... Read more

Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-Ray Review
I purchased this Blu-ray player to match my new 50" Pioneer Kuro 5020 TV. I was overly impressed with the combination. This is my first plasma and first blu-ray player, but they blew away my expectations. I have watched CARS and Polar Express in Blu-Ray on this and they are perfect. I also put in an old standard DVD of the Godfather to see how bad the grainy movie would appear on a large plasma display. It did a great job of upconverting the picture. It appeared to elimiate the grainy look .... Read more

Love this unit (update your firmware!)
I got this unit from Amazon at almost 1/3 off the MSRP; at that price I almost feel guilty. This is among the higher-quality BluRay players with regard to picture and audio quality. So far I've watched about a half dozen movies on it and I couldn't possibly love it more. My A/V receiver predates HDMI, so I needed a player with multichannel audio outputs. This unit has high-quality Wolfson DACs that really produce outstanding sound.
Perhaps the most important thing to be said abo .... Read more

Kuro Companion
Pros: I have owned 6 blu-ray players before this one from brands like Sony and LG, all great players, but this one right out of the box shines quality, Only player I have seen to upscale to 12 bit deep color, loads fast, responds to menus well, quiet operation, will pass all HD audio bit stream and decodes HD audio, some people complain when there is no backlight on the remote, its nice but I'm not a remote critic, if it does its job then good enough. Works seemless with the picture on a Pioneer .... Read more

Looks great, but playback bugs are apparent
Well I must admit I was excited about Pioneers new lineup for summer 2008, I bought their new 1018 receiver which sounds fantastic with my paradigm speakers. I decided to pair my receiver with the new BDP-51 player since it matched up well in looks, quality, and video/audio specs. I must admit when placing the I AM LEGEND BD in the player I was astonished at how crisp the colors and sounds were on my new Panasonic 42" 1080 plasma. Then after placing in the TOP GUN BD and BATMAN BEGINS BD I fo .... Read more
