With DVD, you'll notice a dramatic sharpness in your TV picture. That's
because the DVD creates images with much smaller pixels, and many more of them-720 pixels
per horizontal line, versus just 240-so shapes and forms are crystal-clean, razor-sharp,
and far more detailed than even today's best video players can produce. That's
digital technology at work. |
Dolby AC3 5.1
Channel Digital Surround Sound |
|
|
With a DVD player, your home theater can experience the same audio
performance as the best movie theaters. With Dolby AC3 Digital Surround Sound, six
discrete audio channels envelop you in the most realistic sound you've ever experienced. A
three-dimensional audio environment where sound comes from anywhere and everywhere in the
room, and moves with the action on screen. And with a separate sub-woofer channel, the
audio will pulse with a resonance you can actually feel. There are even outputs for Dolby
Pro-Logic Surround Sound, standard stereo, and mono audio as well. |
|
DVD can deliver up to 133 minutes of brilliant, full-motion video per side,
with a clarity and sharpness far beyond anything you've seen on your TV. You can jump
instantly to any section of the movie, without rewinding or fast-forwarding. There's
slow-motion and freeze-frame, too. |
|
Select the ratings version you prefer to watch: G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17. Your
DVD player will automatically play the version you choose - as programmed by the
producer. |
|
Now, the world's movies can be universal. One touch of your remote
switches the sound tracks from English to French, to Spanish, or to any languages the
producers have included. You can also select subtitles in up to 32 different languages
with illustrated charts, graphics and icons included! |
Be your own director! Switch from long shots to close-ups, high angles, or low -
whatever options are encoded in the movie you're watching. Producers can even offer you a
choice of multiple endings or story lines on the same disk.
Hundreds of movies to choose from
|
|
Major Hollywood studios have already adopted this revolutionary new format, so
you'll have hundreds of top movie titles to choose from immediately. And thousands will
follow, giving you the widest possible selection of everything from the classics to the
very latest theatrical features. |
Now, select the screen format to suit the movie you're watching. For some
movies, you may prefer standard 4x3 pan and scan - for big-screen epics, the letterbox
version. There's even a special widescreen mode for today's advanced 16x9 televisions.
Your DVD can include all three formats on the same disc - each selectable from your remote
control.
