Blu-ray Disc offers something for everyone, and to meet varying consumer interests, different types of Blu-ray players offer a range of advanced features. For viewers who wish to experience movies in true high definition as well as enjoy new, sophisticated interactive features, any Blu-ray Disc player should fulfill their entertainment needs. For viewers who want to experience even more advanced interactive AV features, BonusView players could be a good fit.

BonusView, sometimes referred to as "Profile 1.1," refers to a collection of features available on all Blu-ray player models introduced after October 31, 2007. In addition to basic playback and interactive features, these players offer consumers the ability to enjoy Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and secondary audio features (particularly useful when playing games that utilize additional audio streams while a movie is playing) on compatible BonusView discs.
