DVD Features
Video D/A
Converter: This player uses a
54MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter. This high-bit, high sampling D/A
converter helps to reduce digital artifacts to give you a better picture.
Progressive Scan Output:
Progressive-scan video has less flicker and fewer motion
artifacts than the traditional interlaced-scanning method, resulting in a
superior picture. To take advantage of this feature, you must have a television
with component video inputs that supports the progressive scanning mode.
The component outputs on this unit can be set to pass either progressive or
interlaced video.

DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW discs using the Universal Disk Format (UDF). Note: This unit does
not support ID3 tags.

play JPEG files recorded onto CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO 9660
