Be part of the "Elevated Standard" when you experience your high-definition movies on this amazing Blu-ray Disc™ player. Unlike our other players, this model features all the impressive features of the BDP-S500, but with a rigid, dual-shield construction that reduces the amount of dust collected on the drive. The high-end, quality construction also employs solid beam chassis that contributes to minimized vibration and drastically improved playback. What's more, the unit's aluminum insulator feet help isolate the player from external vibrations, while separate audio and video boards deliver better sound and picture quality. Of course, the BDP-S2000ES also offers 7.1 channel Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio bitstream output.
