Description:

Daewoo's DVG-9000N offers convenient features like a karaoke microphone input, VGA monitor output (for computer-screen viewing), and PAL-NTSC switching (compatible with U.S. and non-region-encoded U.K. DVDs) alongside progressive-scan video for use with the latest HD-ready TVs.

Video features
Topping the DVG-9000N's abilities is progressive-scan playback, in which the unit scans one complete frame at a time (instead of rendering alternating sets of odd and even lines), giving you pristine, flicker-free images on a high-definition or HD-ready television.

Audio features
If your receiver does not process Dolby Digital or DTS but nevertheless sports multichannel analog inputs, you're in luck: the DVG-9000N decodes both 5.1-channel surround-sound formats, so you can still enjoy immersive movie and music mixes. You'll need six analog connections between the player and your receiver, for left, center, right, left and right surround, and the ".1" dedicated subwoofer signal.

Connections
You can forgo analog connections altogether, as the player offers a choice of either optical or coaxial digital-audio outputs, since some surround receivers offer only one or the other (if you have a choice, we recommend the coaxial connection, which will give you slightly better sound).

The DVG-9000N's back panel also offers six-channel analog outputs (use only the ones marked "left" and "right" for analog stereo connections), and four video outputs: standard S-video and composite-video outputs and the three-pronged progressive-scan video and VGA outputs mentioned above for full compatibility with all current televisions.

Other features
The DVG-9000N is karaoke-ready with a front-panel .25-inch microphone input--just plug in and sing along with your favorite CDs or special karaoke CDs and DVDs. The unit is compatible with DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, and MP3-CD-R/CD-RW.
