Sony has announced a new BDP-S765 Blu-ray player featuring key picture-processing functions originally developed for its flagship BDP-S5000ES kit. Firstly, the HD Reality Enhancer system provides real-time edge and detail enhancement, as well as film grain suppression. This is paired with Super Bit Mapping which up-converts movies encoded in 8-bit colors up to 14-bit fidelity to boost smoother gradations. As for its audio credentials, the DBP-S765 offers full high-resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio compatibility, complete with a 7.1-channel output to support legacy A/V receivers.

Other notable features include BD-Live-compliancy, an intuitive XMB user interface and a 6-second player boot-up dubbed Quick Start mode. Users can also playback JPEG from its front USB port. An Ethernet jack enables remote streaming from your home PC based on the latest Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard. The Sony BDP-S765 is now available in Singapore at S$799, pending confirmation on regional availability.
