Features

HD Upconversion: The DVD-HD850 has the ability to upconvert a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 480p, 720p, 768p, or 1080i and pass it through the HDMI output; upconverted signals are not passed by the component video output.

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.

Audio D/A Converter: This player features a 192kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter.

PCM Down Sampling: You can select a PCM Down Sampling setting of On or Off. When On is selected and you are playing a DVD recorded in 96kHz, the signal is down converted to 48kHz/16-bit before it is passed through the digital outputs. When No is selected and the unit is playing a non-copy-protected DVD recorded in 96kHz, a 96kHz/24-bit signal passes through the digital outputs. If the DVD is copy-protected, the digital signal is automatically down converted.

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.

MP3/WMA Playback: This unit will play MP3/WMA files recorded onto CD-R discs using the ISO 9660 and Joliet formats. MP3 files with a compression rate from 128-192 kbps and WMA files with a compression rate from 64-192 kbps are supported. This unit can play up to a maximum of 3000 files and 300 folders.

JPEG Playback: This unit will play JPEG files recorded onto CD-R discs using the ISO 9660 and Joliet formats. All JPEG files on a disc can be played back in a slide show. The slide show has a selectable interval that can be set to 6 seconds, 12 seconds, or 18 seconds. You can zoom in on any selected image (2x or 4x) or rotate an image 90-degrees clockwise. Each disc can have a maximum of 3000 files and 300 folders.

Zoom: The Zoom function allows magnification (2x or 4x) of selected screen areas, without distortion, even as the movie is playing. You can move the zoomed image around the screen.
