Harman Kardon's first Blu-ray player shipping in the United States this month

Harman Kardon today announced its BDP-1 Blu-ray player would be shipping in the United States this month. The company's first Blu-ray player, the BDP-1 is a Profile 2.0 player enabling it to access extra movie content via an Ethernet connection. It also will upconvert standard definition DVDs to 1080p resolution, support JPEG and MP3 playback from discs or USB sticks, and has an RJ-45 slot. All of the newest high definition audio codecs are also supported included Dolby TrueHD, DTS and DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as Dolby Digital, LPCM and WMA files. When it ships later this month, the Harman Kardon BDP-1 Blu-ray player will carry a suggested retail price of $499. A bit pricey in my opinion.
