HD sound that Hollywood intended.
For your listening pleasure, enjoy up to 7.1 channels of lossless HD audio. By taking advantage of the latest HD audio surround formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS Master Audio, Blu-ray Disc creates the feeling of a state-of-the-art movie theater in your living room.
It still plays your DVDs.
The BDP-S5000ES Blu-ray Disc player will play your standard DVD collection without a problem. And with built-in 1080p video upscaling, they’ll look even better.
BD-Live™ for unlimited bonus content.
BD-Live technology allows you to download and stream bonus content such as additional scenes, shorts, trailers, movie-based games, and more. And with Bonus View, you can enjoy “picture-in-picture” capability with select Blu-ray titles.
More bits.
In the digital world, picture quality is not just about resolution, but also about bit rates. DVDs have a maximum video bit rate of about 10 megabits per second (Mbps). In comparison, Blu-ray Disc is capable of video bitrates up to an incredible 40 Mbps. The bottom line, higher bitrates allow for the least amount of data compression for HD video that looks closest to the original video source.
Unsurpassed capacity.
Blu-ray has 5x more storage capacity than DVD. This provides more space for content and higher quality video and audio.

Rigid Beam Chassis & Dual Shield Construction
The combination of Frame and Beam increases rigidity and controls the fundamental resonant frequency of the frame panels.
Dolby TrueHD® and dts® HD- 7.1 Analog output & bitsteam out over HDMI™
In the past most audio codecs used compression that actually removes some sound data to transmit audio from the disc to the audio circuitry. This means that what you hear is a subset of the original audio. While this was very good we still lost some of the audio. Newer formats allow the Audio to be compressed but not discarded. This means that once the audio is decoded the original audio can come through. This player allows you to stream the audio out via HDMI(tm) to a Capable receiver or through analog 7.1 outputs for maximum compatibility with high end receivers.
RS-232C & IR Input for Flexible Custom Installation
By having an RS-232C and IR Inputs this player can work with a wide range of Sony and other third party custom integration solutions.
R-Core Transformer
Because of the unique design of this transformer it has an inherently low radiated hum and noise ratio as compared to other types of transformers. This translates to a better power supply for creating cleaner and better sound.
