Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Philips's affordable DVDQ35AT features high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs, built-in MP3 and AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) music decoding, and a dual-laser pickup for compatibility with not only DVDs and CDs, but also CD-Rs and CD-RWs. Whether you already have an HDTV or you're thinking of getting one, the DVDQ35AT 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. The DVDQ35AT also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

A 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 digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver. This player also decodes Dolby Digital signals, offering six analog RCA terminals (for left, center, right, subwoofer, and left and right surround channels) for routing surround sound to multichannel receivers that don't have onboard Dolby processing. Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick up where you left off on five most recently viewed DVDs, and 3D sound for virtual surround sound from two speakers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking, works great, October 20, 2002

By	Dan Crevier (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to replace a Sony DVD player that died after 2 years. I haven't used the progressive scan features, but I'm using it with s-video and the optical sound out, and am very happy with the sound an picture. It also seems to handle dirty or scratched disks much better than the Sony, which used to just backwards or forwards some huge amount when it ran into trouble. The Philips seems to handle it pretty gracefully. One thing I really like about the Philips is that for the time display, it shows the total time you are through the movie (is the correct DVD term "title"?). My Sony would just show me how far I was into a chapter. I like that it can display CDs of photos and play MP3 CDs. The front panel is pretty bare bones, but has the basics you need. My nits with it are pretty minor: If you turn it off with the remote, you can't just wake it up by pressing open on the front panel -- you have to turn it off and one. There's no eject button on the remote (although you can debate if that's actually useful). And, it freezes up on a CD of pictures I burned from my Mac. I'm not sure how general that problem is. But, overall, I'm very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great buy!, May 23, 2003

By	Dr.Fire (USA) - See all my reviews

This DVD looks nice, plays well, and sells for an unbeatable price. The thing that I like most about it is that it can play more DVDs (e.g. other region codes) than my Sony. My sony is very unforgiving in that respect. The only negative is that it takes the machine a bit long to load the DVD. But all in all, it's a great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars One year and going strong, March 23, 2004

By A Customer

The picture quality on this is as good as any other DVD player I have seen. I have had it for a year and have watched a lot of DVDs, and there was only one DVD it had a problem reading, and it was only because that DVD (a rental) had some deep scratches on it.
