Description:

Early Adopters Pick: April 2003 JVC's XV-N55SL is the world's slimmest DVD player.

With its elegant slim-line design and ice-blue illuminated front panel, the XV-N55SL DVD player is not only versatile, but beautiful. And it handles everything from DVD-Video and standard audio CD to audio CD-R and CD-RW discs, MP3 and WMA CD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and even CDs filled with JPEG image files so you can watch digital slide shows on television.

JVC's 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. audio converter achieves terrific sonic resolution with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The XV-N55SL has been optimized for the high sampling frequency of 192 kHz, providing an extra-wide dynamic range to realize the benefits of high-spec DVD sources. The model's 10-bit, 54 MHz video sampling frequency ensures detailed images and clear, pure colors for DVD movies. And, with seven parameters to adjust, the unit's Video Fine Processor (VFP) provides exceptional versatility in fine-tuning images to personal preferences. The player provides a choice of either optical or coaxial digital-audio output for routing Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to a compatible audio/video receiver.

A high-resolution onscreen graphical user interface (GUI) allows Windows-like interactive operation with tool bars superimposed onto the TV screen for simple, point-and-click operation. Other conveniences include AV CompuLink (which optimizes performance when using the player in conjunction with other JVC equipment), Quick Start, 1.5x playback with sound, 13-step zoom, and screen fill (which zooms in on a DVD image to eliminate letterbox "bars" on the TV screen).
