Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

Customer Reviews:

great but doesn't pass dts.......2006-04-16

First for the reviewer that stated that upconverting doesn't work and only Samsung has one clearly does not know what he is saying. Actually Sony. Denon, LG, Zenith, Apex, Oppo, Panasonic,
Toshiba, Philips and many more off brand companies produce upconverting players. For many of us waiting for the dust to settle with Blueray and HD DVD to settle and prices to drop, this is a good way to maximize standard definition dvd viewing.
This player is basically a clone of the Denon 1920 less the SACD.
Great PQ and plays everything that I have thrown at it. The only negative I have is that it does not pass DTS. The advertisements state it does but the owners manual clearly states it does not and I have verified that. I opened this puppy up and found a chip with a DTS logo so it seems Sylvania decided to disable this feature so they would not have to pay a DTS fee. Bought it with the Amazon discount of 30 dollars so the total was 69 dollars plus shipping.

FANTASTIC DVD PLAYER FOR HDTV!.......2006-04-05

We recently bought a 52" rear-projection Hitachi TV & heard that we needed to get a HD compatible DVD player for optimum viewing performance (instead of using my 1.5 year old Apex $20.00 DVD player I bought the day after Thanksgiving one year...which, by the way, works wonderfully!)...so, being the deal queen I am, I instantly gravitated towards this model due to the price being quite reasonable. We hooked it up & proceeded to watch Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire as well as King Kong. WOW! The images loaded rapidly & the picture was very sharp. Good value for the money! :)

Up-converting is useless.......2006-03-21

OK, maybe I'm on a little bit of a "jihad" here against these up-converting DVD players, but bear with me because I do have a valid point.

Don't buy any DVD player because it can "up-convert to HD". Evaluate all DVD players on whether they do everything else well, or have the connections you need (DVI, HDMI, etc.) or the price is in your budget. This may be a fine DVD player, but don't buy it just because it can up-convert, and don't use the up-convert capabilities of this player even if you do buy it.

If your TV can accept 720p or higher input via DVI or HDMI, then it is already scaling the image to fit the native resolution of the display device. And I guarantee you it is doing a better job of it than any sub-200 dollar DVD player is going to do. (If not, then your HDTV was poorly made).

My final point: If this up-coverting technology is such a good idea, why is Samsung the only one doing it? Why not Pioneer, Panasonic, Sony, JVC, and Denon? (Because they know it's usless technology).

Performs well with my lcd projector.......2006-01-21

So far so good, no problems with set up or usage. Nice detailed image using HDMI Upconverted signal. Loads quick and smoothly
though drawer is a bit unsturdy. Remote is fine once you get used to it. I like the black face as it is unique. Sylvania did a good job adding HDMI, Up Converting, Progressive Scan and a Faroudja chip for under a hundred bucks on Amazon.

Worked 3 times, then stopped loading.......2006-01-13

Worked really well for 3 movies. Then stopped loading discs completely shortly after the 90 day warranty was up. If buying this, make sure to get the extended warranty.

Great up-conversion, a non up vs. progressive scan really showed improvement on Revenge of the Sith.
