Sharp is the only manufacturer to date to offer a complete Home Theater system comprising a Blu-ray Player.
Sharp Japan has announced the flagship model to its Aquos audio range the BD-MPC70 offering 7.1 channels of pure sound. The amplifier hosts a Blu-Ray player supporting BD-R/RE, DVD±R/RW, DVD-RAM discs along with normal music CD’s. The HDMI terminal deliver HD output which is pepped by the 1080p picture engine making it optimum for viewing on the LCD TV. The 1 bit digital amplifier delivers an output of 25W×7ch and is equipped with Multi EQ XT technology which monitors the sound output using microphones and makes constant adjustments for better quality. If you have an Aquos TV you don’t need multiple remote controls as majority of amplifier functions can be controlled from the TV remote itself.
It obviously comes with speakers as any HTBI (Home Theater In a Box) would…They look like KEF speakers to me as one can’t help but notice their unmistakable subwoofers.
The Sharp BD-MPC70 goes on sale in Japan from June 25th 2007 for 1050,000 Yen ($ 8750).
