Manufacturer's Description
Superior Video Quality
With AQUOS Pure mode, the new Blu-ray Disc player connect to a Sharp AQUOS LCD TV with AQUOS Link function via an HDMI™ cable to deliver video content with unparalleled clear contrast and details. Sharp engineers designed this mode so that the BD player recognizes the connection to the AQUOS TV, in turn producing the best picture possible. When the BD player is connected, the AQUOS* automatically switches to "dot by dot" mode allowing you to view every pixel of 1080i and 1080p content with no overscan, proving a picture can be viewed in its true form with every detail displayed.

The BD-HP22U enable superior video quality with state-of-the-art HDMI™ 1.3 digital output with x.v. color, and 1920 x 1080 video at 24 frames per second output, matching the playback of the original film. This feature eliminates the need for frame-rate conversion that can cause motion artifacts on film-based material and degrade image quality.

Advanced Audio Decoding
The BD-HP22U features a next-generation audio format with full decoding, providing an immersive home theater experience. The player outputs the most advanced lossless surround-sound formats including Dolby® TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio via HDMI™ digital output. The player also decodes Dolby Digital Plus, which provides optimum surround sound for appropriately equipped receivers.

For added convenience, the BD players include Sharp’s proprietary Quick Start feature for quick disc loading. The BD-HP22U includes 2GB of USB memory. Additionally, it features a JPEG viewer, which allows users to view their favorite digital images from their CD collection on screen in a slide show format. For lower energy bills, the BD-HP22U features low power consumption in both Power On mode and in Standby mode.

Featuring a new slim and compact design, the BD players feature a piano-black finish mirroring the elegance of an AQUOS LCD TV, as well as the blue media circle that illuminates to indicate the status of the player, and is compatible with a wide range of formats including BD-ROM/RE/R, DVD Video, DVD-RW/R, DVD+RW/R and audio CDs.

Backwards Compatible

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Purchased this unit specifically because we own a sharp lcd tv. We find the unit slow, difficult to operate (in the sense it doesn't seem to do what we want and is poorly responsive to the remote), and honestly don't see any tremedous improvement in the viewing of our standard cds. It doesn't seem to remember where it was when paused and turned off. Forces blueray subtitles on unless we object. The thing is so slow it't frustrating. To be honest I'm sorry I gave away our convential cd unit to purchase this blueray unit.

I bought this to use with a Sharp LCD TV due to Aquos capability. Do not have anything to compare it with. Performs well. Excellent Picture and Sound. My only problem is how long it takes to start a movie. Overall I have what I was hopoing for

Could not be happier with this purchase, and the fact that I was able to scoop it up while on sale PLUS I was able to use a 20% coupon !The Blu Ray Player goes great with my 52" Sharp Aquos.....of course with the BLU RAY movies the picture is SHARP !!! Using the regular DVD's you can notice a difference versus the BLU RAY discs...but the picture is still fine. The only thing I notice is that some discs take longer than the 10-20 seconds Sharp says it will load...other than that, I'm ok with this purchase ![...]
