Thomson has announced the DTH720, the successor to its well-received DTH700 DVD-Audio player.

The new DTH720 boasts a sleek and stylish slot-loading design, and is clad in a black and mirrored silver finish designed to complement Thomson's Scenium range of products.

As you would expect of a DVD-Audio player, the DTH720 is 5.1 ready (6 channels direct input) and is compatible with other audio options, including WMA and mp3. It?s also capable of reading DVD video, DVD/CD audio, most CD-R/CD-RW disks, Video CD & S-VCD, DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW. It additionally claims to handle JPEG files, and be ?DivX forward compatible?, so that it should be able to play any future DivX formats that come along.

Finally, connectivity includes 2 Scarts with loop through RGB, S-Video output and Y/PR/Pb component video output.
