Enjoy the best of both worlds with the Apex ADR-1000's top-of-the-line DVD playback and state-of-the-art hard-disk video recording. The player's premium-quality progressive-scan outputs provide seamless, dynamic DVD images (viewable on high-definition and HD-ready TVs). The ADR-1000 also decodes the popular MP3 and Windows Media Audio music formats. And, if you burn pictures from a digital camera to CD-Rs and CD-RWs, you can even use it for watching slideshows right on a TV. Apex's active full screen function (AFF) helps resize widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) video images to fill 4:3 aspect-ratio sets. For recording, the ADR-1000 offers a full 40 GB, 40-hour capacity and the ability to time shift your viewing or program the unit to begin recording at a set time.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the ADR-1000 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, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. In any case, standard composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels 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 optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
