Description:

The DVD793CH offers high-resolution progressive-scan picture quality (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs) with the convenience of multi-disc play. The player is compatible with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3-encoded discs. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD793CH stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. 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, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The back panel offers one output each for composite-video, S-video, and component-video. Play exchange lets you swap four discs while a fifth is playing, and five-disc resume enables you to pick-up where you left off in your five most recently viewed DVDs.

In the audio realm, 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. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: the player simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on a TV).
