"Our customers want products that bring entertainment into their homes, but at a family-friendly price," said Carla Pihowich, Memorex brand director, Imation Corp. "With this in mind, we have introduced a Blu-ray Disc player that offers consumers the full high-definition viewing experience, but at a price that almost anyone can afford. The high-definition movie experience, with its sharp details and amazing sound quality, is one that brings families and friends together."
Blu-ray Disc, the next-generation optical media format, utilizes the shorter wavelength of blue lasers to store large amounts of data or content on a single disc. This increased capacity of Blu-ray Discs, combined with the advanced technology in Blu-ray Disc players, translates to movies that playback with finer picture quality and superior sound for an unprecedented high definition experience.
