LG Super Multi Blue Player (BH100) Plays Blu-ray and HD DVD Discs
LG's Super Multi Blue Player (BH100) is a dual-format high-definition disc player that is compatible with Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD read/write and HD-DVD-ROM, but unfortunately it's read only with HD DVD discs.
"We've developed the Super Multi Blue Player to end the confusion caused by the current competition between Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD. Customers are no longer forced to choose between the two formats," said Dr. Hee Gook Lee, president and chief technology officer of LG Electronics.
The LG BH100 unit supports various A/V formats, including MPEG-2, VC-1, H.264 video, MPEG1/2 audio, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital+, DTS and DTS-HD audio, and includes multiple inputs/outputs such as HDMI out, component/composite video outputs, and optical/coaxial/discrete 5.1 channel audio outputs, among others. LG's Super Multi Blue Player (BH100), available to U.S. consumers during the first quarter of 2007, is expected to sell for about U.S. $1,199.
