Audiovox Corp. announced the introduction of its new Blu-ray Disc player that can play any Blu-ray Discs as well as traditional DVDs and CDs.

The AVDBR1 is designed for installation under the seat or in a storage compartment in and connects to any monitor by using either the HDMI, composite or component output. The unit has been road tested to tolerate the vehicle’s environment, the company stated, and its small size allows for multiple horizontal and vertical mounting options in the vehicle.

“We developed the AVDBR1 in response to the consumer preference for Blu-ray Discs in their home entertainment systems. This mobile solution will allow them to maintain a single video collection that works both in the vehicle and at home,” said Tom Malone, President of Audiovox Electronics Corporation.

The unit is powered from a 2-pin, 12-volt connector to the vehicle’s accessory power source and comes with a full function wireless IR remote control. An 18-foot-long IR extension is included to allow for operation of the system via remote control when the unit is concealed. This unit is WiFi capable for wireless media streaming but will require a firmware upgrade that is available later in 2011. MSRP is $349.99. This unit will be available in the spring of 2011, Audiovox stated.
