Description:

At under two inches in height, this JVC player is as sleek as it is versatile. The XV-NP1SL offers premium-quality progressive-scan video (for use with a high-definition or HD-ready TV) and JVC's custom 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. digital-to-analog audio converter with 192 kHz/24-bit resolution. Beyond its capabilities with optical media, the unit also boasts a memory card slot equipped to read MP3 music and JPEG images from all major memory formats: SD/MMC, SmartMedia, Compact Flash, and Memory Stick. Want to watch MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 clips? It's as easy as inserting a card.

The XV-NP1SL is optimized for the ultra-high audio sampling frequency of 192 kHz, providing an extra-wide frequency range to realize the benefits of high-spec sources. Its 10-bit, 54 MHz super-high video sampling frequency ensures detailed images and clear, pure colors for DVD movies.

JVC's Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output, quantified as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. High-quality component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs assure compatibility with nearly any set.

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 convenience features include 1.5x playback with sound, 13-step high-quality zoom, and Screen Fill, which zooms in on a DVD image to eliminate letterbox "bars" on the TV screen. JVC's versatile VFP (Video Fine Processor) allows seven parameters of advanced picture adjustment, including gamma, brightness, contrast, color, tint, sharpness, and "Y delay." In addition to two factory presets (normal and cinema) there are two user-selectable memories.

A single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
