Description:
Zenith's stylish and affordable DVB216 weighs in strong on video features, and boasts audio refinements like CD-R/CD-RW and MP3-CD playback, as well as HDCD decoding to get the most from HDCD-encoded discs, and a remote control with a jog/shuttle dial and glow-in-the-dark buttons. Video Features
The DVB216 provides progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, which creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture. This gives higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Motion zoom enlarges the picture in real time (two levels, 4x or 16x), while variable high-speed scan offers fast-forward and reverse viewing at up to 100 times normal speed. Audio Features
The DVB216 is compatible with standard CDs, audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and discs encoded with MP3 audio files. (CD-R/CD-RW playability may vary depending on contents and discs.) A 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimal decoding of all disc formats, including HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital), a 20-bit encoding method used to deliver better sound. The player also simulates surround-sound effects using two speakers. Connections
In the video realm, you get the works: standard composite-video, S-video, and premium component-video outputs (switchable between S-video and component-video). The DVB216 provides a choice of optical or coaxial digital-audio outputs to feed a surround-sound signal to a Dolby Digital-decoding or DTS-decoding AV receiver. When used with a compatible receiver and six-channel speaker system (left, center, right, left/right surround, and subwoofer), the player puts you right in the middle of the action. It has a single set of stereo RCA analog audio outputs as well.
