Product Description
The BDP-51FD Bonus View Blu-ray Disc Player provides up to 1920x1080 resolution for an unrivaled picture quality. And with True24FPS, now see your movies as the director intended. One HDMI 1.3a digital connection is all you need from the BDP-51FD to output both HD audio and video signals to your HDMI-capable A/V receiver or HD flat panel. Compared to typical connections, the HDMI interface replaces multiple cords without degradation in signal quality between components. HDMI 1.3a also provides 12-bit deep color support, improving subtle gradations between colors. The BDP-51FD supports HDMI Control, which allows you to seamlessly control all your HDMI Control-equipped Pioneer A/V equipment with a single remote. Each DAC features a signal-to-noise ratio of 117db. Wolfson DACs provide top-notch audio performance from music and movie soundtracks. Utilizing a Pioneer developed IC, this circuit digitally reshapes the waveform of the audio clock to greatly reduce jitter for all content. 3D Noise Reduction based on pixel-per-pixel basis reduces Gaussian Noise without blurring the image. By tuning the low-pass filter, waveform distortion of the coaxial digital output is greatly reduced for improved audio performance. The BDP-51FD features internal decoding of all advanced audio formats including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master. Multi-Format Compatibility - Compatible with BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE, DVD-Video, DVD-R (Video Mode) / RW (Video Mode), and CD media Ports - SR Input, HDMI Output, Component Video Gold Plated Output, Composite Video Gold Plated Output, S-Video Gold Plated Output, 7.1-Channel Audio Gold Plated Output, 2-Channel Audio Output, Coaxial Digital Gold Plated Output, and Optical Digital Output Dimensions - Width 16.54 x Height 4.89 x Depth 14.18 Weight - 12 pounds 9 ounces

 Pioneer BDP-51FD December 31, 2008

Sold with 1.02 firmware. I picked this one up to match up with Pioneer Elite 60in Plasma and Yamaha RX-V3900 AV receiver.br /Didn't take long before I found a movie that locks up the player. Resident Evil, end of Chapter 5. Also own a Panasonic DMP-BD35. The Panasonic was way cheaper and it doesn't lockup where the Pioneer does.br /Updated firmware to 1.21 - problem still exists.br /Will be complaining about this to local dealer tomorrow
 The Best Player Period December 29, 2008

I bought this player at Best Buy for $599 + tax or $646. I got home and it had some issues however after I went on line, I found that it had firmware updates. Once that was done, it was the most stunning picture and the sound was so movie theatre like. Its easy to set up. I returned it back to BB and bought on Amazon for $400 so I saved $240 and will tell you, its a excellent player. Even regular DVD's are stunning.
upconverting is amazing December 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Blu-ray playback is beautiful but what really sold it for me was the upconverting of my old DVDs. Star Wars Episode III was almost as good as a 1080 source. The first scene where the movie is mostly CG I could understand it might be easier for the hardware to upconvert, but even the skin tones of the actors were vivid and Blu-ray-esque. My old Matrix DVD was a big dissapointment when played on my old JVC upconverting DVD player and on my 65 inch DLP but when I put it in the Pioneer that disappointment was long gone. I did have lip sync problems on Matrix Reloaded for some reason (latest firmware was installed on my unit) but Matrix Revolutions was flawless. I had been dissappointed with my old DVD collection when watching them on my 1080p big screen but now I can enjoy them all over again! Start up and load times are not the best when compared to the PS3 and Panasonic units but it is far better than my friends Sony Blu-ray from last year and the eye candy that this unit can put out whether Blu-ray or DVD makes it worth every penny.
The power user's Blu-ray player of choice. November 25, 2008

The Pioneer BDP-51FD is one of the most well built Blu-ray players under $500 you will find in the market. And, with its latest v1.17 firmware virtually all of the bugs have been squashed plus DVD upconversion is now superior even to high end chipsets like Silicon Optix Reon. Pretty amazing what big strides this player has made in a short period of time.br /br /The Wolfsen DACs provide outstanding analog audio and the many A/V tweaks such as the Source Direct feature will keep tweakheads happy for a long time to come.br /br /While this player is not as user-friendly as some of the competition, once you've delved into all of its settings you will find that you can maximize A/V quality in a way not possible with other players.br /br /Highly recommended for the moderately experienced (or expert) home theater enthusiast!! Nothing else in this pricerange comes close.
Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-Ray Review November 21, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this Blu-ray player to match my new 50" Pioneer Kuro 5020 TV. I was overly impressed with the combination. This is my first plasma and first blu-ray player, but they blew away my expectations. I have watched CARS and Polar Express in Blu-Ray on this and they are perfect. I also put in an old standard DVD of the Godfather to see how bad the grainy movie would appear on a large plasma display. It did a great job of upconverting the picture. It appeared to elimiate the grainy look that you get when viewing it on a normal tube tv, I can only assume that the BDP-51 is the reason for the better picture quality conversion and not just the tv I am viewing it on. I would definitely recommend this product. The only drawback is that it is not BD-Live for those of you who want to play on the internet while watching your movies (not me).
