Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Time to turn your living room into a home theater? Do it affordably with Magnavox's slim and stylin' MDV453S, which boasts high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs--perfect for high-definition and HD-ready TVs of today and tomorrow--and built-in JPEG image and MP3 music decoding so you can enjoy personalized digital-photo slideshows and multihour music mixes right in the comfort of your living room. If you or your loved ones are putting home videos on DVD, the MDV453S will play recordable DVD+R and DVD+RW formats, too.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions, while Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV). Other helpful features include an advanced, icon-driven GUI (graphical user interface), a screen saver (which helps prevent image burn-in on your TV screen while you've paused or stopped a disc), and auto power-off for energy savings.

DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, and stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

Don't Waste Your Money.......2005-03-21

This player is terrible. It has a serious problem recognizing that a disk is in the player and refuses to play. Additionally, it will occasionally freeze. My friend has one too and experiences the same problems, so I think Magnavox is cranking out lemons. It's worth buying something more expensive or a different brand. Save yourself the aggravation.

Works well, has had a few "glitches".......2004-03-11

I have owned this about 6 mos. and it has worked great except once the "open" button on the unit stopped working and the buttons on the remote were acting funny, but this resolved after unplugging the unit for about 5 minutes. Reads my DVD+R backup copies of dvds perfectly. Overall very good for the money.

Technically not a DVD player.......2003-12-10

This player did play DVD-R, -RW, and +RW (I didn't have a +R to try), but not well. It kept dropping frames (that is, the video would pause and then skip forward), which is generally a symptom of an MPEG decoder that can't keep up with the bitrate of the DVD. But the DVD was authored at 7.5Mbps max (average 5.5Mbps), and the DVD Forum standards specify that a DVD player must handle 9.8Mbps. This might not matter for most commercial DVDs, which (I've heard) tend to stay below about 5Mbps in order to coddle older players; but there are plenty of titles coming out these days that go for high bitrates to provide maximum quality. If this player can't handle them, then, technically, it is not a DVD player; it should not be advertised as such, and is probably not entitled to use the DVD Forum's DVD Video logo.

Of course, it's possible that the encoder I used to author my DVD was flawed; but it seems unlikely--all three of these discs played correctly in my AMW S99.

This DVD player works great so far ..........2003-11-21

I have had this DVD player for about a month & have had no problems. The only complaint I have is minor and concerns the remote. The first time that I used this player I saw that both the fast forward and play buttons look exactly the same (but, aren't labelled) and the play button is very close to the down arrow button ... so, I found myself having to experiment with the buttons to navigate and hitting the wrong buttons.
