The entertainment medium of the new millennium
Video was never before like this! Perfect digital studio-quality pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multi-channel audio. Story sequences screened from your own choice of camera angle. Language barriers broken down by sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus subtitles - if available on disc - as many as 32. And whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.
Digital video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over
500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard. This dual-standard player can play both types, and presents them in the best possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.
Your DVD-Video player
Your Philips DVD-Video player plays digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multi- channel sound (depending on the disc and on your playback set-up). The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of soundtrack and subtitle languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included. What’s more, Philips’ Disc Lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see.
You will find your player remarkably easy to use with the On-Screen Display and player display in combination with the remote control.
New exciting features
Your new player also offers a range of unique, state-of-the-art features to enhance your viewing pleasure.
These include:
●Digital Natural Motion, an exciting technology that smoothes motion in the picture to give you a natural, more relaxing picture.
●Active Control, a powerful feature that automatically monitors and corrects the signal coming from your DVD-Video disc to ensure that you always have the best possible picture, and that all discs you play have the same appearance.
