Pioneer is showing a bevy of new products here at CEDIA Expo, including the new Elite BDP-95FD Blu-ray player, Elite SC-09TX A/V receiver and 4 new flat panels under the KURO brand.

The BDP-95FD Blu-ray disc player, which will replace the company's BDP-94HD, outputs 1080p video over an HDMI 1.3 connection and supports Dolby True HD, DTS-HD and HDMI-CEC. It also incorporates Pioneer's Home Media Gallery technology, which allows digital content to be streamed over a home network through the player.

Set to be released in October, the BDP-95FD has an MSRP of $999.

Despite the news of hybrid players from LG and Samsung at CEDIA, Pioneer reps say they have no plans to jump on the dual-format bandwagon. "We are firmly committed to Blu-ray disc," the company says.

SHARON, MA, Aug. 13, 2007— International audio-video manufacturer NAD Electronics has for over three decades been acknowledged worldwide as marching to a different drummer—to the invariable benefit of its customers. Now, in one of the most important product introductions in its history, NAD unveils five significant new components—T 785, T 775, T 765, and T 755 AV Receivers, as well as the T 175 Preamp-Tuner-Processor.

While the newest NADs may appear conservative enough, their designs reflect a philosophy altogether distinct from that reflected in today’s typical mass-market receivers. “NAD has never been afraid to skip the heavily hyped, ‘me-too’ features and concentrate on functions and technologies that really make the difference in sound and in picture,” says NAD Director of Product Development Greg Stidsen. “So these new models are classic NAD.
