Highlights

12-bit/108MHz video DAC Progressive Scan High-end component design
12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-toAnalogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure. Loudness for bass and treble In the sound spectrum, high and low frequencies are relatively less audible to human ears - especially at low volumes. By activating the Loudness feature, the bass and treble will be amplified so you can savor a more balanced sound perception overall.
The component-designed DVD micro system comes with a stand that features four triangular feet. It can prevent any audio frequency distortion due to vibration, overheating and electromagnetic interference generated from the amplifier and DVD loader. The result is smooth and excellent and sound reproduction. High quality remote Control The remote control is a perfect balance of dimensions and weight. Sleek and ergonomically designed, the bottom cover of remote control features a soft rubber-paint finish to ensure comfort in usage.

Glossary

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right. Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9. AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV set, Stereo, etc.). Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc. Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a TV set that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.). Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD. Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does. Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right and center). DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies. JPEG: A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Parental control: A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the softwares level is higher than the user-set level. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing without data compression. Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for reproduction control. By using screen menus recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function. Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a signal frame. This system can convert interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A progressive scan TV set is needed to receive progressive scan output from the system. Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in preset regions. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit from the product label.
