Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Upgrade your home movie watching with the Sylvania DVL1000F single-disc DVD player, which up-converts standard DVD movie discs to high-definition video formats, perfect for your HD-capable LCD or Plasma television. Typical progressive scan DVD players will be able to handle the 480p (progressive) video display format, but the DVD-HD755 also supports 720p and 1080i display resolutions. It features Faroudja's DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) video processing, which helps to eliminate jagged edges that appear with progressive-scan displays for a smoother picture.

In addition to DVD movie and CD audio discs, this player is compatible with DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW disc formats as well as MP3/WMA audio files burned to disc. Other features include:

• 5-speed forward and reverse search (2x, 8x, 50x, 100x)
• Forward and reverse slow motion (1/2x, 1/8x, 1/16x)
• 99-item program play and random play (for CDs)
• 10 bookmark points
• Virtual surround sound through two channels and connection to Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound receiver
• Multi-angle viewing

• Composite AV (RCA): 1 out
• S-Video: 1 out
• Component video (480i/480p): 1 out
• HDMI: 1 out
• Analog audio (RCA, L/R): 1 out
• Coaxial digital audio: 1 out

Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

4.0 out of 5 stars great but doesn't pass dts, April 16, 2006

First for the reviewer that stated that upconverting doesn't work and only Samsung has one clearly does not know what he is saying. Actually Sony. Denon, LG, Zenith, Apex, Oppo, Panasonic,
Toshiba, Philips and many more off brand companies produce upconverting players. For many of us waiting for the dust to settle with Blueray and HD DVD to settle and prices to drop, this is a good way to maximize standard definition dvd viewing.
This player is basically a clone of the Denon 1920 less the SACD.
Great PQ and plays everything that I have thrown at it. The only negative I have is that it does not pass DTS. The advertisements state it does but the owners manual clearly states it does not and I have verified that. I opened this puppy up and found a chip with a DTS logo so it seems Sylvania decided to disable this feature so they would not have to pay a DTS fee. Bought it with the Amazon discount of 30 dollars so the total was 69 dollars plus shipping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Performs well with my lcd projector, January 20, 2006

So far so good, no problems with set up or usage. Nice detailed image using HDMI Upconverted signal. Loads quick and smoothly
though drawer is a bit unsturdy. Remote is fine once you get used to it. I like the black face as it is unique. Sylvania did a good job adding HDMI, Up Converting, Progressive Scan and a Faroudja chip for under a hundred bucks on Amazon.

Overall. This is a good DVD player. It reads most of the DVD-/+ R and RW. Loding time is very short. Very easy to use. Good features.
