SKU: DVP-NS72HP
Manufacturer: Sony Electronics, Inc.
Manufacturer description
The Sony DVP-NS72HP reads the data on a standard DVD at 480p and maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. This allows for you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering digital video and audio over one simple cable.
Sony has created BRAVIA Theater Sync to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA televisions and other Sony audio and video components, in addition to audio and video transmission, will transmit control functions via the HDMI cable. With "One Touch Play", operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the A/V component turn on then the BRAVIA television turn on and switch to the correct video input and simple and easy and BRAVIA theater sync.
Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source-whether film or video-because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from motion artifacts.
Past generations of Precision Drive systems were only able to compensate for warped discs by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the amount of correction possible. Sony's Precision Drive 3 system simplifies the process by moving the lens-instead of the entire optical block-for faster and more accurate error correction.
Playing MP3 music on a Sony DVD Player is easy. Just insert an MP3 encoded disc and press MENU. A blue screen pops up to display your folders. Scroll down the list using the remote or front panel cursor control to select the folder you want. The green files screen pops up to show the files in the selected folder. Select the file you want to hear and you're done. Finding music couldn't be easier.
