- Features

Progressive Scan (PAL & NTSC)
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending the field with the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are displayed together. A flicker-free, high resolution image is created giving you better viewing quality.

Multi-channel Super Audio CD
This new generation music format gives you:
- Ultra high quality music reproduction
- 5.1 multi-channel surround sound
- Full backward and forward compatibility with CD

Built-in decoders
A built-in DTS and/or Dolby Digital decoder eliminates the need for an external decoder by processing all six channels of audio information to provide an astoundingly natural sense of ambience and dynamic realism. Dolby Pro Logic II provides five channels of surround processing from any stereo source.

Multi-format playability
Multi-format playability allows you to view images in the comfort of your living room and play most dics formats for maximum disc compatibility, viewing and audio pleasure.

DivX® 3.11/4.x/5.x playback
With DivX® support, you will be able to enjoy DivX® encoded videos in the comfort of your living room.
