Description:

Whether you're planning a sing-along party, putting together a digital slideshow for the family, wanting to play homemade MP3/WMA CDs, or simply feeling ready to park yourself in front of five favorite DVDs back to back, the multi-disc, progressive-scanning Apex ADM-5000 is a great choice.

The high-end video outputs of the ADM-5000 deliver the full potential of DVDs, today (if your living room is already home to an HDTV) or tomorrow. Progressive scanning, referred to 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, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. In any case, standard composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. Apex's active full screen function (AFF) helps resize widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) video images to fill 4:3 aspect-ratio sets.

The unit's two karaoke microphone inputs have dedicated volume controls so you can tailor the balance to match the singers and the music sources. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels sound 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 optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver and surround speaker system.
