1Before You Start Features

525 line digital progressive-scan component video output

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compat- ibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progres- sive-scan compatible TV.

Video Adjust

This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), PDP, and Professional. This technology can remember which setting you've chosen and employ it at the proper time. (see page 49).

Legato PRO (Legato Link

Conversion PRO)

The Legato PRO digital filter restores some of the high-frequency information lost in the CD and DVD recording and mastering process by upsampling from 44.1kHz to 176.4kHz for CD and from 48kHz to 192kHz for DVD.

Legato PRO has four settings, including Standard and three effect settings. You can also switch it off. (see page 45).

Hi-Bit

Hi-Bit extends the dynamic range of the main front speakers by effectively increasing the bit depth from 16-20 bit to 24 bit. This allows the player to reveal greater detail in low level audio (see page 45).

High quality 24-bit/192kHz DAC

The high specification 24-bit/192kHz DAC delivers dynamic, smooth and expansive analog sound from CDs and DVDs.

Graphical Setup Navigator

Setting up your DVD player is easy using the graphical Setup Navigator. Answer the questions that appear on-screen and the Setup Navigator makes the necessary audio, video and language settings for you (see page

17).
