The Denon S-5BD is an audiophile grade 5.1 channel surround sound receiver with advanced Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player. Dubbed as “the Cara”, this BD player comes complete with 1080p/24p video output, DVD video scaling up to 1080p, and BD-Live support. Additionally, there are two dedicated outputs for surround back speakers that would require amplification, which means the S-5BD can be expanded to 7.1 channel surround sound setup. On the front, aside from the HDMI input, there is a USB port, an SD reader, and two 3.5mm ports for mic and headphones. Weighing at 7.8Kg, the Denon S-5BD will be launched in March 2010 for £1,999 ($3,113).
