Is the pioneer bdp-150 a network enabled Blu ray player?

Pioneer’s BDP-150 Network Enabled Blu-ray 3D Disc Player is affordable for the first-time owner or one who is looking to add a second player. But rather than the bare minimum of “just” providing 1080p HD video with multichannel sound, the BDP-150 adds online connectivity features to the mix.

What can I do with the bdp-150 network dongle?

Connecting the BDP-150 via Ethernet cable or optional wireless dongle connects you to a world of entertainment. In an instant, you’ll be streaming Internet audio and video content from the most popular sites like YouTube ®, Netflix ® and Pandora ®. You can access all the content on your Picasa account so you can view it with a roomful of people.

What kind of audio does the bdp-150 play?

The BDP-150 supports the latest high-quality formats including DTS-HD ® Master Audio, Dolby ® TrueHD, and Super Audio CD ®. It also converts standard definition video sources for 1080p resolution displays for optimum image processing that delivers clear, sharp images with reduced noise.

How many HDMI ports does a bdp-150 have?

The step-up model houses two HDMI ports – which let you send video and audio signals separately to a TV and receiver – but here you get a single HDMI output. Thankfully it’s specified as v1.4, which means the BDP-150 can output 3D signals to a compatible TV.
