Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD

The Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD will become Pioneer's high-end flagship model upon release. The BDP-09FD supports BD Live 2.0 web content for extra media functionality and includes 4GB onboard storage memory. For video the 09FD provides a full 1080p/24fps resolution through the 16-bit Marvell QDEO video processor; the video is transported through the HDMI output. For sound the 09FD offers bitstream output and onboard decoding for high resolution audio format support and the device uses a Wolfson WM8740 audio DAC for each analog channel (total of 8); the 09FD also includes a 7.1 channel analog audio output as well. The 09FD supports dual HDMI which can both be used at the same time, and each port has seperate audio video settings for fine tuning. The 09FD is made of an aluminum chassis and has a steel underside for maximum protection. It also includes a slick blue LED light which displays across the front below a mini LCD display screen. The Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD has an estimated release date sometime in December, 2008 and has an MSRP of $2,199.
