The Technical Stuff: (Source)

Lumiere loader
The Lumiere loader has a more compact structure and smaller number of units. Without dual pickups mechanisms and drivers, the new single pickup design turns out to be more reliable and precice. Because of its lightness and less electricity needs, less energy is consumed, so less heat is dissipated. Considering China's "rural" enviroment SONY (O.E.M provider to some parts of the internals) have added something called "anti-dirt" technology. Overall, the player is more fit to function in harch enviroments, being able to handle heat, dust, and humidity a little better than the average home DVD player.The Digital servo system is composed of signal-processor CXD1889,DVD/CD decoder CXD1866,CD/VCD and digital signal processor CXD3008. When an error occurs, it is able to recover from it thanks to large quantities of data stored in the DRAM, so whenever it plays CD/VCD or DVD, it features a powerful error-correction.

Supreming decoder
Shinco DVD's MPEG decoding chip VS2811 developed by Supreming AV lab, is a forth generation DVD decoder. It is highly integrated to the audiovisual subsystems, resulting to a single chip MPEG system. Key part of it is a programmable 32-bit RISC microprocessor which can decode for many different compression algorithm by means of adjusting its microcode from outside. It supports CD, VCD, DVD, SuperVCD, and of course, MP3. Loader and C.P.U are interconneted through an ATAPI interface. Shinco's DVD software runs within the CPU(2811+SONY's16-bit CXP91200), ensuring a fluent transmission of data.
