Pioneer has begun shipping three new Blu-ray standalone players, all three of which were introduced at CES in January.
The Elite BDP-23FD will include BD-Live support, "audiophile-grade" capacitors, and the company's "Precision Quartz Lock System" which helps the player avoid all jitters during playback.The player also includes "48-bit color, 7.1-channel audio and RS-232 support" and will cost $599 USD.
The less expensive, $399 USD BDP-320, has the same Lock System, BD-Live and 48-bit color, but will lack special case design and some of the audiophile-grade features.
The low-end BDP-120 will retail for $299 USD and will remove the lock system and will downgrade to 36-bit color range. The player will also not include the 1GB of internal storage needed for BD Live and will rely on external USB storage.
