DVD players are the fastest selling consumer electronics product in history and almost in no time they have become an indispensable appliance in our homes. Prices these days are highly affordable and with just €50, you can buy a decent DVD player.

But the market's needs change rapidly, demanding from the electronics industry to adapt to new standards. Once upon a time, the only thing necessary from a DVD player was the ability to reproduce DVD’s.

Now, DVD players come in all type of configurations, including DVD/VCR combos, players that play MP3, multi region players and DVD players that are also DVD recorders.

However, a new DVD player feature that is becoming more and more popular, is the ability to play Divx movies.

- CINEMA PROGRESSIVE

Getting the best picture quality from your DVD Player. The step-up Sony DVP-LS785V derives its exceptional picture quality from Sony’s Precision Cinema Progressive technology, creating crisper, cleaner images whatever the source. Precision Cinema Progressive uses Pixel-by-Pixel I/P Conversion technology. The system detects whether objects on the screen are moving and by how much and processes each pixel with the appropriate algorithm. The results are superb video images that give sharpness to both still and fast moving objects alike. Jagged edges on diagonal lines are virtually eliminated thanks to V-Edge Compensation, and an extra crispness is derived from its Super Sub Alias Filter, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and frequency response.

- REAL LIFE DESIGN

Sony has further developed its signature minimalist design, combined with cutting-edge technology, to create a top quality home viewing experience from players that fit into any home scheme or lifestyle. Their quality finish and sleek styling look beautiful in a contemporary home as part of a home cinema set-up, yet they are simplistic enough to look good in any environment such as the bedroom or kitchen.
