Features
* HDMI™ Output - Simple One Cable Connection - A one cable connection carries complete digital audio and video content between your HDTV and the BD-HP17U for the best high-definition video and highest fidelity audio in home theater today. Blu-ray Disc™ technology brings the multiplex experience right to your home.
* Full HD Resolution - An Amazing Home Theater Experience Enjoyed in the Comfort of Your Home - The Blu-ray Disc™ format has full 1080p resolution capability – that's the maximum picture resolution available today. 1080p = 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, progressively scanned.
* High Fidelity Audio - Real Life-Like Sound - Blu-ray Disc™ technology lets you take advantage of the latest surround sound formats such as Dolby® TrueHD™. This means you will enjoy high quality lossless 7.1 Channel digital surround that is bit-for-bit the equivalent of the master recording.
* HDMI™ Up-scaling – Backwards Compatible - Even your existing standard definition DVD library can look better than ever because Blu-ray Disc™ players are backwards compatible with your DVDs. By optimizing standard DVD playback signals to 1080p (when displaying on a 1080p capable HDTV with HDMI™ technology), BD-HP17U can deliver more picture and sound quality.
* JPEG Viewing - View both still and video digital images recorded onto a CD-RW/R in a slideshow format.

The AQUOS LINK™ function allows you to control both your AQUOS LCD TV and your AQUOS Blu-ray Disc™ player together. When you connect your AQUOS LCD TV to the Blu-ray Disc™ player via an HDMI™ connection, you will have seamless interoperability between your AQUOS LCD TV and the BD-HP17U.
* Quick Start – Enjoy Movie Content Quickly without Delay - A proprietary Sharp technology allows you to enjoy viewing high-definition content on your big screen quicker than most other Blu-ray Disc™ players. Unlike many other players, the BD-HP17U has an impressive start-up time allowing you to begin watching your movies in as little as 10 seconds.1
* BD Live - provides consumers access to a wide variety of real-time content via a network connection, such as movie scene extras, new previews, games, chat and more. The Bonus View function provides access to picture-in-picture special features, allowing you to simultaneously watch your favorite movie scenes and added bonus features on compatible disc.
* AQUOS® PURE MODE - provides convenient optimized viewing of Blu-ray Disc™ content. The image output's color base shifts when a Sharp AQUOS® LCD panel is recognized by the AQUOS LINK™ connection in the Blu-ray Disc™ player via the HDMI™ cable connection. When the BD-HP17U sees an AQUOS panel connected the color is shifted to optimize the color base setting to the display, this allows the best possible picture according to the unique panel design of an AQUOS LCD.
* 1 Quick Start time may vary depending on movie content, type of video connection and type of monitor being used; Blu-ray Disc™ must also be preloaded for Quick Start operation.
