Description:
Sharp's DV-S25U DVD player incorporates the latest technology in progressive-scan video decoding by using a critically acclaimed Faroudja DCDI decoding chipset. This chipset produces 480p video via the player's component-video output, resulting in unsurpassed video quality. DCDI, which stands for Directional Correlational Deinterlacing, processes video output to remove jagged edges and artifacts, improving the overall quality of the video when viewed through a high-definition or HD-ready television. For HD or standard TVs with compatible inputs, the DV-S25U's component-video outputs help minimize scan lines and digital artifacts. Lower-resolution composite- and S-video outputs ensure compatibility with nearly any television. In another bold move, the DV-S25U can play MP3s from not only CD-Rs and CD-RWs, but DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, which offer much higher storage capacities than single recordable CDs. 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 coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver. Direct Search lets you skip to any desired title, chapter, or track with the numeric button during playback or in stop mode, bypassing annoying previews and disc menus. Other playback options include zoom (2x or 4x), black-level adjustment, angle selection, display dimmer (great for darkening a room during a movie), resume, and parental controls (to keep mature content away from kids). Supplied accessories include an instruction manual and a remote control.
