Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

JVC's book-thin XV-N310SL progressive-scan DVD player is a high-value player equipped to spin both your DVDs and your CDs, including recordable CD, video-mode DVD-R and DVD-RW, VCD (video CD), SVCD, MP3 CD, JPEG CD, and even discs bearing MPEG-4 (Simple Profile) video. It also features conveniences like express play start (which starts a single-layer DVD movie in just 4 seconds), disc memory resume for up to 30 discs (which lets you pick up exactly where you left off the last time you were viewing); quick playback with sound at 1.5x speed, and 1-touch instant replay.

The player includes JVC's Direct Digital Progressive-Scan output using switchable (480p/480i) component-video connectors. 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, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

On the audio side, the XV-N310SL offers Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround passthrough with coaxial digital audio output for easy hookup with a compatible audio/video receiver. The XV-N310SL makes use of high-bit-rate and high-sampling-rate digital-to-analog conversion for both video and audio--10-bit/54 MHz video conversion and 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion.

The model's 10-bit, 54 MHz video sampling frequency ensures detailed images and clear, pure colors for DVD movies. And, with seven parameters to adjust, the unit's Video Fine Processor (VFP) provides exceptional versatility in fine-tuning images to personal preferences. The player gives you a coaxial digital-audio output for routing Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to a compatible audio/video receiver.

The XV-N310SL offers component-video, S-video, and composite-video outputs, a coaxial digital audio output for PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS passthrough. Other conveniences include AV CompuLink (which optimizes performance when using the player in conjunction with other JVC equipment) and 3-step picture zoom.

What's in the Box

Note: Some high-definition and HD-ready televisions are not fully compatible with this player's progressive-scan video output. To check the compatibility of your set, call JVC's customer service center at [phone].

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't throw out your Region 2 PAL DVD's, buy this...., May 20, 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase

After purchasing DVDs from Amazon.de, I I quickly learned that Region 2 PAL DVDs will not play on any US/Canada DVD player (which are all Region 1) to an American TV (NTSC). I purchased the modified Code Free JVC XV N412SL, which I received within 2 days of ordering. Opened box, connected it to my NTSC TV, plugged it in and it played perfectly with no distortion. The machine converted from the PAL coding to NTSC video output flawlessly. Also, German subtitles worked perfectly. My only initial hesitation was that I was purchasing thru Amazon.com's site thru a partner 'The Electric Company' (aka North Star Distributors,Inc) however, no concern, quick delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low Price - Great Quality!, May 19, 2005

For the price, I don't think you can beat this player! I have purchased DVD's from Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.de, and they all play perfectly on this machine. The machine is worth every penny if you are looking for a wider selection or esoteric DVDs than are not available here in the US.
