Technical Details

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard protocol for linking PCs, peripherals, and consumer electronic equipment. Hi-Speed USB devices offer data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, significantly faster than original USB speeds. With Hi-Speed USB 2.0, users can plug in a USB device, select media (movie, music, photo), and play it directly.

True High-Definition HDMI 1080p

HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers crystal-clear images. Standard-definition movies can be enjoyed in true high-definition resolution, providing more detail and lifelike pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p") eliminates line structure on TV screens for sharper images. HDMI enables a direct digital connection for uncompressed digital HD video and multichannel audio, ensuring perfect picture and sound quality without analog conversions.

EasyLink

EasyLink allows control of multiple devices with a single remote. It utilizes the HDMI CEC industry-standard protocol to share functionality between devices via the HDMI cable. With a single button press, users can operate all connected HDMI CEC-enabled equipment simultaneously, including functions like standby and play.

DTS, Dolby Digital, ProLogic II

The integrated DTS and Dolby Digital decoders process all six audio channels, providing a surround sound experience with natural ambience and dynamic realism, eliminating the need for external decoders. Dolby Pro Logic II offers five channels of surround processing from any stereo source.

DivX Ultra Certified

DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with advanced features such as integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple audio tracks, and menus, all within a single, convenient file format.

Karaoke Scoring

Karaoke Scoring is an advanced feature that automatically rates singing performance and provides humorous visual feedback tied to the scores.

Plays It All (Media Formats)

Supports playback of virtually any media format, including WMV, DivX, MP3s, and JPEGs. This offers great playability and the convenience of sharing media files on a TV or home theater system.

Plays It All (Disc Formats)

Supports playback of a wide range of discs, including CDs, (S)VCDs, DVDs, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD+R DL. This provides flexibility and convenience for playing various disc types on a single device.

12-bit/108MHz Video DAC

The 12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue Converter that preserves every detail of authentic picture quality. It displays subtle shades and smoother color graduation, resulting in more vibrant and natural pictures. The limitations of standard 10-bit DACs are particularly noticeable on large screens and projectors.

Floor Standing Speakers

The system includes floor-standing speakers, offering freedom of placement for optimal audio experience.
