Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Philips's slim, affordable DVD724AT features high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs and built-in decoding for MP3 music files and HDCD-encoded discs, as well as JPEG image CD playback so you can enjoy digital slideshows right in the living room. It also converts non-region-encoded PAL-formatted discs (the standard in Europe) for viewing on standard NTSC televisions.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD724AT stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. 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, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DVD724AT also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Playable on all CD and DVD players, discs encoded with HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital) technology have extended audio resolution appreciable only in HDCD-equipped devices such as the DVD724AT (be sure to use the analog outputs to appreciate this feature).
Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick-up where you left off on your five most recently viewed DVDs, enhanced parental control (with 120-disc lockout), and picture zoom for magnification of select images.
