Manufacturer description
The inherent quality and flexibility of Toshiba's SD2109 sets it apart from the competition. As a developer of the DVD format, Toshiba consistently leads the industry in the introduction of technological breakthroughs and convenience features. The SD2109 DVD Video Player not only delivers superior video and audio performance, it has all the connections necessary for a growing home entertainment system including ColorStream component video outputs as well as Dolby Digital and DTS compatible digital surround sound outputs. The SD2109 is the foundation for a 21st Century Home Theater... and it's available today.
This Toshiba DVD Player features an advanced 10-bit Video Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and a high-resolution 27 MHz digital filter, ensuring maximum image resolution and artifact-free pictures. Component Video pictures are characterized by enhanced color detail, color purity and color resolution. Video Black Level Control allows you to adjust black level cutoff to one of 2 settings, the NTSC standard of 7.5 ire or 0 ire. The 0 ire setting provides expanded contrast and the richest blacks ever. Optical and Coaxial digital audio outputs allow you to connect SD2109 to a Dolby Digital compatible receiver to reproduce the state-of-the-art audio found in the best cinemas. Dolby Digital surround sound creates a 360-degree "hologram" of dramatically realistic sound through 5.1 discrete channels. Analog audio outputs are also included for connection to a Dolby ProLogic receiver or Stereo TV. The SD2109 offers compatibility with Digital Theater Systems' multichannel-encoded Compact Discs and DVDs. The advanced perceptual coding and higher data transfer rates of DTS recreate a vivid and lifelike 3-dimensional sound field. With 24-bit quantization and 96 kHz sampling rates, the SD2109 produces finer, more richly textured sound than ever before. Advanced multibit Delta Sigma DAC provides unsurpassed signal-to-noise ratios during playback of high resolution DVD Video discs. Exclusive to Toshiba DVD Video Players is a 4-power picture zoom that allows you to "zoom" in and enlarge 25 selected areas of the picture during normal and slow motion playback. Examine special effects close-up and inspect the detail of background images. It's all accessible with a push of a button. The intuitively designed remote operates all the features of the SD2109. The fingertip controls are ergonomically designed for easy learning and operation. A convenient 4-way "compass" pad makes it easy to navigate through on-screen programming menus. Special dedicated keys let you switch language tracks and camera angles at a touch during playback.
