Amazon.com Product Description

The slim, stylish Pioneer DV-285A-S progressive scan DVD player delivers exceptional performance in both video and audio. This versatile player is compatible with DVD movie, CD audio, DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, and Picture CD (Kodak and FujiColor) discs as well as MP3 and WMA digital audio files. For viewing JPEG images, the Disc Navigator makes it simple to browse through digital disc content to find what you want to play. Just press the Play button to start a slide show from the first stored folder/picture on a disc containing JPEG picture files. Adjust the image size to fill as much of the screen as possible, magnifying it by a factor of 2x or 4x.

Pioneer's 2:3 Pull-Down PureCinema Progressive Scan system, along with a 12-bit/108 MHz video digital-to-analog converter, retains more of the clarity and subtlety of the original cinema experience. DVDs of movies originally shot on film can now display smooth, high-resolution moving images that are free of artifacts and jagged edges.

The DV-285-S provides Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound decoding via its coaxial digital audio output. It can also produce a virtual surround sound emulating 5.1-channel surround via two speakers. It also offers the following video connection options:

• Composite A/V: 1
• S-Video: 1
• Component video: 1

Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of surround sound from the following speakers: front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects. Dolby DigitalÕs main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies--22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging and tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.
