PLayer PL-1

PLayer PL-1 Multi-Format Player: The One-Player Solution for CD, DVD, DVD-A, MP3 and SACD

Start at the source with an all-in-one solution for both audiophiles and videophiles. The Bel Canto PLayer Multi-Format digital source offers an extraordinary combination of flexibility, performance and ease of use. One player lets you get it all – in any format – CD, DVD, DVD-A, MP3 and true SACD. Bel Canto’s proprietary analog output architecture provides uncompromising audio integrity from the finest two-channel, multi-channel and video sources. A "video off" switch reduces video crosstalk when playing audio-only formats.

The PLayer platform elevates digital audio performance to a new level. Providing remarkable sonic quality with the power and flexibility of a multi-format platform, the PLayer brings a new depth of musical quality to any system from 2 channels and up. We achieve this reference level performance with a combination of innovative analog output stage and D/A conversion design, low-jitter internal slaved-clock DVD drive operation, a superb power supply and careful parts selection. The PLayer platform achieves true reference 2-channel audio performance in a multi-channel capable platform.

"You haven't really heard the full potential of the SACD format until you've played back on a first-rate machine like the PLayer from Bel Canto."

Tom Jung, DMP Records

Both audio and video architectures have isolated power supplies with 16 power regulation sections. Multiple independent low-jitter clocks and 108 MHz/12-bit video DACs using proprietary video filtering provide a level of performance that is simply stunning.

The PLayer PL-1 offers digital video out through its SDI port and 480p progressive scan and incorporates fully implemented Faroudja DCDi de-interlacing technology for outstanding color and picture quality. The PLayer PL-1 gives you direct access and control of Faroudja options for component and RGB video output, sync on green, H/V sync, audio delay synchronization, adaptive motion control along with a choice of animation or film modes. All these options can be easily accessed from the front panel, as opposed to navigating multiple on-screen menus.

With RS-232 control and rear IR input connectors, RCA, BNC and balanced AES/EBU DVD-V and CD digital outputs and a SDI serial digital interface, the PLayer PL-1 can easily become the centerpiece of your home theatre experience.
