Sony DVP-NS330
DVD Player - page 1
The increased production of consumer
players nowadays coupled with cheaper, more reliable optical parts
has had a significant effect on retail prices. In addition, consumer players
are no longer the arcane devices they once were, incorporating simple controls
making it easy even for ordinary users to operate them, even if
they are not computer literate. Today, everyone has the opportunity to
own a DVD player or recorder, place it
his living-room and enjoy the latest movie.
We
have selected an ordinary DVD player, available from Sony at an affordable
price. The model is
the
DVP
NS-330.
Basic features
Sony's DVP-NS330 features built-in MP3 decoding, DVD-R/DVD-RW and
DVD+R/DVD+RW (video mode) playback, and Precision Drive 2 with Dynamic Tilt
Compensation for error-free disc reading. SCART and composite video outputs
provide connection with nearly any television set.
MP3 Playback: Playing MP3 Music on this Sony DVD player is easy. Just insert
an MP3 disc and press MENU. A blue screen pops up to Display your folders.
Scroll down the list using the remote control or front panel cursor controls
to select the folder you want. The green, files screen pops up to show the
files for the
selected folder. Select the file you want to hear and you're done. Finding
music couldn't be easier.
A 192 kHz 24-bit digital-to-analogue converter ensures optimum decoding of
all disc formats. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals
can be routed through the player's coaxial 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: Sony's TV Virtual Surround (with four surround modes)
simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on
your TV).
Playback options include quick set-up, DVD/CD Text, block noise reduction,
a digital video enhancer, custom parental control memory for 40 discs, Advanced
Smooth Scan and Smooth Slow Modes, instant replay and instant search. Supplied
accessories include a remote control that operates the DVD player and many
brands of television.
Precision Drive™ 2 with Dynamic Tilt Compensation - Past generations
of Precision Drive technology were only able to compensate for warped discs
by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the
amount of correction possible.
