Sony on Tuesday introduced several new AV receivers, as well as a 3D Blu-ray player.
The BDP-S1700ES 3D Blu-ray player will be available in August for $400. It features an IR input on the back panel for connection to other systems, as well as 802.11n Wi-Fi for access to Sony’s Bravia line of Internet-connected TVs and Sony’s Qriocity video service. It will have 1GB of built-in memory.
Users with an iPhone or iPod touch can also download the “BD Remote” app from the Apple App Store to turn their devices into a remote for the Blu-ray player. The iPhone or iPod touch will also display disc details like jacket artwork, as well as actor, and production information, and it will facilitate searches for related video clips online.
An Android version of the BD Remote will be available soon, Sony said.
The three new Elevated Standard (ES) AV receivers include IR input jacks and two-way serial control. They can be controlled over IP, and they allow for 3D pass-through and multi-room features.
