PIONEER BDP-430

PIONEER BDP-430

New 3D Blu-ray Disc player that combines 3D playback capabilities with advanced  networking features and exceptional sonic performance.

The  BDP-430, features playback support for the new 3D Blu-ray Discs that bring an exciting new dimension to  movies when connected to a 3D-capable display via HDMI. 

The  perfect complements to our latest 3D capable AV receivers, these new Blu-ray  Disc players are equipped with the latest technologies to set the standard in  state-of-the-art audio and video reproduction. They are the perfect enhancement  to the most sophisticated HD home cinemas.

3D  playback

As  3D technology is introduced to the mass marketplace, the new Blu-ray Disc  players feature full 3D Blu-ray Disc playback for an amazing, life-like action experience  on a 3D-capable display.

An  HDMI output using the latest HDMI (version 1.4a with 3D) specification offers  high definition connectivity for consumers seeking compatibility with the most  demanding HD audio and 3D video formats.

Content  and networking opportunities 

Both  new Blu-ray Disc players provide straightforward connectivity to a local  network and the internet, opening up new content and networking opportunities. In  addition to an Ethernet port for regular wired integration, BDP-430 can easily connect to a wireless home network via an optional Pioneer wireless  LAN adapter.

Both devices can unlock additional movie-related  content from the web with BD-Live. Through the familiar user interface of the  player, you will also be able to enjoy YouTube videos and playback of audio,  video and photo content stored on a compatible network PC or media server.

You can control the BDP-430 with a free app that transforms your mobile device into a remote control. When the Blu-ray Disc players are connected to an  existing wireless router (via Ethernet or Wireless LAN), Pioneer’s iControlAV app allows wireless control of playback and  navigation functions. In addition, the iControlAV app integrates advanced and  original control for many of Pioneer’s recently announced AV receivers: SC-LX83,  SC-LX73, VSX-LX53, VSX-2020, VSX-1020 and VSX-920. Support for MKV, DivX HD, WMV and MP3 playback,  plus a JPEG viewer for photo slideshows make the BDP-430 flexible  content companions, regardless of the source medium – be it CD, DVD, USB  or LAN.

Refined  sonic performance

Able to play a broad range of audio and  video disc types, the BDP-430 deliver the most advanced  multi-channel audio experience.

The latest high-definition audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are supported, which both models can  either output as native bitstream or decode internally and output as  uncompressed multi-channel LPCM on HDMI to give Blu-ray Disc movies a compelling  soundtrack.

The latest evolution of the company’s  proprietary Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS) in both Blu-ray Disc players ensures jitterless  transmission of uncompressed 2-channel or multi-channel LPCM and now also  bitstream audio over HDMI to compatible Pioneer AV receivers. With PQLS, a compliant Pioneer Blu-ray Disc player and AV receiver smartly  synchronise both components’ digital clocks for optimal digital audio playback.

True-to-life picture quality

The new Blu-ray Disc player is capable of  showing movies with great richness and detail thanks to their ability to play  Blu-ray Discs in 1080p full high-definition at a smooth, cinema-like 24 frames  per second (fps), and upconvert standard DVDs to near HD quality. Taking  advantage of HDMI connectivity, they provide pure, natural images that deliver  the full emotional impact of Blu-ray Disc films as the director intended.
