Blu-ray offers a stunning audio-visual experience - it uses a blue-violet laser that's focused to produce an incredibly precise pinpoint of light - five times smaller than the beam falling on the surface of a DVD. Blu-ray can hold up to an incredible 50GB of data on a single disc (that's over 9 hours of high definition viewing)!
Audio is also vital to the Blu-ray experience, being able to handle up to 32 different audio streams - from basic stereo up to uncompressed 7.1 multi-channel sound!

Reviews
‘Sparkling harmony …the combined talents of Bryn Terfel and Cecilia Bartoli…raise the temperature… Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro… is charged with intrigue and sexual tension and they captured the mood with pinpoint vocal interplay and assured comic acting…a formidable display of coloratura technique and laser-sharp intonation.’ ***** The Guardian
