Description:

The Toshiba SD4960 DVD player offers a host of advanced features in a sleek, silver package. The SD4960 is fitted with Super ColorStream Pro progressive-scan component-video (digital 3:2 pulldown) outputs, allowing for the highest-quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component-video-equipped 480p TV for the smoothest, most filmlike images. When this player is used with an HD-compatible set, typical NTSC artifacts--like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker--are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with excellent color purity. Working alongside is its 192 kHz/24-bit D/A converter to deliver warmer, more natural-sounding audio from many types of discs such as multichannel DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs.

The SD4960 has playback options galore. Along with the aforementioned DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs, you can play CD-R and CD-RW discs loaded with your music in either WMA or MP3 files, homemade DVD-Rs, and, of course, DVD-Video discs. You can even use it as a JPEG viewer to display digital photographs on a television set in the JPEG digital format. Just pop in a CD-R/RW with your favorite photos and start the show. Want to get a better look at something on the screen? Use the Digital Picture Zoom to select an area of the picture you want to magnify. Enhanced digital processing during moving video or freeze-frame playback produces superior color fidelity and resolution, even when you're zoomed in. You can also expand letterboxed films to increase the viewable area onscreen.

Video isn't the only thing to benefit from this player. The SD4960 has a 5.1-channel output with Bass Management for onboard decoding of Dolby Digital, DVD-Audio, and SACD content with control of independent channel parameters (speaker size, delay time, etc.), including control for bass reproduction. Use this feature to customize the player's multichannel audio output to your particular home theater system. Coaxial and optical TosLink Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound outputs are also available. These use a single RCA-type or optical output jack to send signature multichannel audio to an audio/video receiver with a compatible input.
