DVD Players
The essential home theater source component, a DVD player is also one of the
best entertainment values today. It delivers digital picture quality that until recently you
would only have seen in a TV broadcast studio. You'll hear digital-quality surround
sound. You'll enjoy over ten thousand titles including movies, concert videos, children's
programs and more. Of course, compared to videotape, DVDs are more compact, more
durable and offer much faster access to individual movie scenes. And DVDs never need
rewinding.
DVD MOVIES. Thousands of titles are
available for sale or rent, each one
carrying the promise of spectacular
pictures and superlative sound.
Features to look for:
Progressive scan. This feature effectively doubles the picture quality. To get the
benefit of progressive scan, you'll want to connect your DVD player to a "high
scanning," "High Definition monitor" or "High Definition upgradeable" television. If
you own or you're thinking of buying one of these televisions, then a progressive
scanning DVD player is a must.
3-2 reverse conversion is a technology employed in the better progressive scan DVD
players. It retains the integrity of the movie's original film frames. You'll see a
clearer picture, especially on scenes with movement.
