LG adds features to dual high-def DVD player
By
South Korea’s LG Electronics introduced on Wednesday an updated version of its high-definition DVD player that supports both Blu-ray and HD DVD. At about $1,000, the BH200 “Super Blu Player”–while 16 percent less than the model LG unveiled in January–costs twice as much as standalone Blu-ray or HD DVD players.
The new LG player, due in mid-October in the United States, includes features that were omitted from the original. LG says it is capable of Blu-ray and HD DVD playback with advanced BD-Java and HDi technology. LG was criticized in the technology press for not fitting its first dual player with HDi, or high-definition interaction interactivity, which enables HD DVD consumers to use interactive menus and extra features.
