Inputs and Outputs Notes
MP3/WMA Playback: In addition to DVDs (including DVD-R), Video CDs and Audio CDs, this unit will play MP3/WMA audio files recorded onto CD-R discs using the ISO 9660 Level 1, 2 or Joliet formats (CD-RW discs not recommended). Compatible bit rates include 32-320 kbps for MP3 and 48-192 kbps for WMA. During MP3/WMA playback, you can use repeat, program, and random functions, but you cannot use search or A-B repeat functions. Each disc can have no more than 256 folders and 1000 files.
JPEG Disc Playback: This unit will play JPEG files recorded onto CD-ROM and CD-R discs using the ISO 9660 Level 1, 2, or Joliet formats (CD-RW not recommended). You can select a single image, a page of 6 thumbnails, or a slideshow of a selected folder. Each disc can have no more than 256 folders and 1000 files. Maximum file size is 3072 x 2048.
Progressive Scan: This unit may be set to output a progressive scan video signal from the Color Stream Pro component video output. Progressive-scan picture quality is more film-like, with more fine detail and less flicker. Progressive-scan viewing requires a TV with a progressive scan compatible component video input.
Digital Cinema Progressive: Toshiba's Digital Cinema Progressive 3/2 Pulldown process delivers the smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television, such as a high-definition-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution.
Enhanced Sound Enhancement: You can engage the 3D Virtual Surround mode with the E.A.M. (Enhanced Audio Mode) button on the remote to obtain expansive virtual surround sound effects from just two speakers (effective during playback of DVD or Video CD)
Enhanced Picture Enhancement: You can engage one of two picture enhancements with the E.P.M. (Enhanced Picture Mode) button on the remote. Brightness and Sharpness can each be adjusted between 0 and 16.
Slow Motion: The SD-3980 will play in slow motion in 3 forward speeds: 1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x. It cannot play in reverse slow motion.
Fast Reverse/Forward: This unit will play in fast forward or fast reverse in 4 speeds each. You can playback at 2x, 8x, 30x or 100x normal speed. During fast scanning, the audio and subtitles are muted.
Zoom: The Zoom feature allows you to get an increasingly close-up view of the image. Each press of the Zoom button increases the magnification to Zoom 1, Zoom 2 ,or Zoom 3. You can also move the zoomed image around the screen.
Auto Resume: The Auto Resume feature allows you to resume playback of a disc from the point where you last stopped. The stopping point is cleared when the Stop button is pressed more than once or the disc tray is opened.
Parental Lock Function: You can select a parental control rating from 0-8, which is protected by a 4-digit password.
ColorStream Pro: The SD-3980 features ColorStream Pro component video outputs which allow the video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video-equipped interlaced or progressive scan TV. Typical artifacts, such as video noise, dot crawl, and flicker, are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. In addition to the component video outputs, the unit also has one composite and one S-Video output.
Coaxial Digital Output: This unit features a coaxial digital output to allow you to connect the player to a receiver with a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. There is no optical digital output on this unit.
