Manufacturer description

Designed for portable viewing of DVD titles, the DVD-L10 weighs only 910 grams and measures just 160mm(h) x 160mm(w) x 43mm(d). The cinema-quality picture and sound offered by the DVD format make the L10 an ideal choice to get the best from home movie viewing. The DVD-L10 features a built-in 5.8-inch (14.5cm) LCD screen with a 16: 9 aspect ratio that shows the entire film image at high-resolution. To view standard images or letterbox formats recorded at a 4: 3 aspect ratio, the user can select Normal, Full or Zoom display modes. The 280, 000-pixel screen provides crisp detail, and TFT active matrix LCD technology ensures a bright picture with a wide viewing angle and minimal reflection. The DVD-L10 features more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution, and has a 10-bit video D/A (digital-to-analog) converter, which virtually eliminates video noise and maximizes picture quality. The DVD-L10 lets viewers enjoy movies away from home, with built-in stereo speakers that deliver high-quality stereo sound; and a nickel metal hydride battery that offers around two hours of continuous playback. The DVD player is also a space-saving addition to home theatre solutions. It can play audio and video CDs as well as DVD. A joystick makes it easy to navigate movie menus and on-screen icons - such as language selection, title, elapsed time and chapter Search. S-Video and composite video outputs allow connection to a TV for home viewing, and a full wireless remote is included. The DVD-L10 supports PAL and NTSC playback on PAL TV. The player can also be connected to an external Dolby Digital/MPEG2 decoder for 5.1 channel digital surround sound - bringing the cinema experience into the home. A 96Khz, 24-bit audio D/A converter provides outstanding sound. The DVD-L10 has a miniaturized optical deck construction, with a compact traverse mechanism and slim optical pickup. To save even more space, high-density mounting technology fits the main video and audio circuitry on a single board. To ensure reliable performance when the unit is being carried, the DVD-L10 uses an extremely precise spindle motor. For high-speed operation with high precision and low vibration, this drive employs a newly developed brushless motor featuring a strong, quiet, vibration-suppressing fluid bearing.
