Product Description
The DVP-NC85H five-disc DVD player offers 720p/1080i upscaling through an HDMI connection (High Definition Multi Media Interface). HDMI allows the transfer of uncompressed digital audio and video signals to other HDMI equipped components, providing an uncompromised picture. It also features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, which delivers accurate and vivid images to the television. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include a 12bit/108MHz video DAC (digital to analog converter), and 24 bit/192KHz audio, providing high-quality video and audio processing for vivid images and crystal clear sound.Amazon.com Product Description
Store hours upon hours of entertainment in Sony's DVP-NC85H/B five-disc carousel changer. This versatile unit plays DVDs and a variety of older disc formats, such as VCD and SVCD, as well as your favorite music CDs. And since the unit supports HDMI connections, you're sure to get the best picture possible.
HDMI Compatible
High-Definition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an interface format that provides uncompressed digital audio and video directly to a digital television. It represents the current state of the art in high-definition video and sound because the information never has to be converted into an analog format. Another benefit of HDMI is that it puts all that information into one cable and one easy-to-use connector.
An added benefit of connecting the DVP-NC85H/B to your set with HDMI is that the unit can "upscale" commercial DVDs, which are rendered at 480p resolution, to a digitally interpolated 720p resolution, which makes for a much sharper picture.
For analog sets, the DVP-NC85H/B includes a 108 MHz 12-bit digital-to-analog converter for sharp picture and clear action. It features composite, S-video and component video connectors, as well as optical digital, coaxial digital, and RCA analog audio outputs.
Precision Cinema Progressive
While other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level, Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. This makes the picture more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because the technology uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle the differing pixel behavior. It also uses separate algorithms to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from motion artifacts.
Precision Drive 3 System
Sony's DVP-NC85H/B delivers excellent picture and sound quality--even from damaged discs. How? The unit's Precision Drive 3 system allows you to playback some DVDs that may have been damaged or warped without a degradation of picture quality. This feature comes in handy when watching rentals or other heavily used discs.
MP3 and JPEG File Playback
The DVP-NC85H/B plays MP3 sound files and JPEG photo files. Simply insert the disc and use the remote control to navigate through your folders to your files.

Product Description
Samsung's latest generation DVD players bring a new level of performance and prestige to this fast growing format. Samsung DVD players are specifically designed to deliver the ultimate in picture quality and convenient features. The DVD format has grown incredibly over the past few years and Samsung has delivered players with all the features you are looking for.PRODUCT FEATURES:5 Disc Progressive Scan DVD Player;Slim Design (less than 80mm);Mecha Speed Changer;MP3/WMA Playback;VCD/SVCD/DVD-R Playback.Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's titanium-finished DVD-C631P five-disc carousel changer dishes up favorite movies and music, featuring high-end component-video outputs, built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding, and compatibility with JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs so you can enjoy a slideshow of digital pictures right on a television.Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-C631P stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, provides higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. In addition, top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Another handy feature is EZ-View letterbox eliminator, which makes it easy to enjoy full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs--even when you're watching widescreen DVDs. Supplied accessories include a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, instruction manual, and a remote control.
Customer Reviews:
Seriously...what's the deal?.......2004-03-30
It is not good at actually playing DVDs. The tiniest scuff or scratch results in audio/video skippage. I have attempted to clean the player numerous times, but to no avail. Perhaps my room is far too dusty? I don't know. I routinely find myself trying to use it, hoping it won't skip, but to no avail. I almost always end up having to watch the DVD on my computer.
Again, perhaps the skippage is due to the environment that the player is in. In any case, I find it practically unusable.
Mixed Emotions.......2003-12-07
useless as progressive scan DVD player.......2003-12-05
What is anamorphic compression anyway? As you've probably noticed, HDTV sets are wider; they have a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of a 4:3 aspect ratio. When you display a 16:9 picture on a 4:3 set, it is "letterboxed," meaning that there are black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. DVDs are encoded with 480 lines of vertical information. Ideally, you'd want to use all 480 lines for picture, and not for black boxes. That's the problem that anamorphic compression solves: it stretches a letterboxed image out to a 4:3 screen, to make the signal about 33% sharper. Specifically, it means that your DVD player will output a video signal with all 480 lines of resolution, and your TV set will squeeze it onto the right size screen.
The problem with this player is that it does not correctly output an anamorphically compressed widescreen signal. On several discs (like the Matrix), I couldn't get the player to properly output an anamorphically compressed widescreen signal to my TV. So, I had to resort to letterboxing the image, losing 33% of resolution in the process. This causes a greater difference to the picture quality than the difference between a progressive and interlaced signal.
So, in my mind, this is a useless player for the serious videophile. Along with the useless changer mechanism (see the other reviews), I can't recommend this player.
90's technology passed off as current.......2003-11-30
I also tried burning some MP3 and Windows media audio files onto 2 different types of CD media, even at 1x, only to be rewarded with a continuous "loading" message, followed by a message that this disc can't be played. I've also had problems with it locking up completely while playing 2 different DVD's, and needing to be unplugged.
I rate this player not "one star", but "5 poopies". I can't believe that this is a product released since 2000. My old Sony, which I was never that fond of, despite not being billed as being able to play alternate media types, performed the basic functions an order of magnitude better. Samsung should make toasters for a living, home electronics is clearly too challenging for them.

Enjoy terrific audio-visual quality and multiformat convenience with Denon's DVM-715S 5-DVD/CD changer. The player offers a 12-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter (DAC); high-end Burr-Brown 24-bit, 192-kHz audio DACs; and progressive-scan video outputs with acclaimed DCDi processing by Faroudja. The carousel changer plays everything from DVD-Video media to video-mode DVD-R/RW and audio CD, CD-R/RW, as well as CDs bearing MP3 and WMA audio files and JPEG images. Kodak Picture CD offers even greater viewing flexibility, and there's even a 2 MB memory buffer to decrease layer-change pauses or pickup dropouts during DVD playback.Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVM-715S stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
The DVM-715S also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The digital-audio output is configurable for 24-bit, 96 kHz PCM passthrough to compatible receivers and stand-alone DACs.
Other features include black-level control, picture zoom, discrete remote power on/off control, and remote in/out ports for simplified use with other Denon components.

Remanufactured Panasonic SC-HT650 Progressive Scan 500-Watt 5-Disc DVD Home Theater System
Manufacturer: Panasonic ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Product Features:
ASIN: B000BR6VBY ![]() |
Amazon.com Product Description
The remanufactured SC-HT650 home theater system from Panasonic brings the cinematic experience into your living room without requiring a ton of setup. Outfitted with a home theater receiver/five-disc DVD player combo, four slim satellite speakers, a center channel speaker, and a powered subwoofer, the SC-HT650 puts you in the middle of the action whether you're watching progressive scan DVD movies, listening to your favorite albums in high-resolution DVD-Audio surround sound, or enjoying MP3 and WMA playback on a CD-R/RW disc.Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SC-HT650 is ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The result is remarkably crisp movies that look as good as the films in your local multiplex. Further video enhancements include a selectable aspect ratio; a Cinema mode that reduces glare, softens resolution, and improves detail in dark scenes; and 4:4:4 signal processing to improve color reproduction and minimize picture noise.
Though DVDs are clearly the main attraction, the SC-HT650 also plays a host of other audio and video formats, including DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, CD, CD-R/RW, DVD-Audio, Video CD, MP3-CD, WMA-CD, and even JPEG image files burned on a CD-R/RW. The DVD-Audio compatibility is particularly pleasing to audiophiles, as the super-high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) discs offer multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs.
At the heart of the SC-HT650 is a sophisticated, flexible, easy-to-customize core component for both audio and home theater use. The receiver's Dolby Digital and DTS decoders provide crisp, clear sound, while the Dolby Pro Logic II surround adds richness to movies and music. The receiver also offers several multichannel sound field functions that add advanced A/V effects to your favorite audio and video formats, such as enhancing the dialogue in dramatic movies, enhancing the crowd noises for sporting events, or simulating a live club sound for your favorite music.
The speakers include four bass reflex satellite speakers with 3.12 cone woofers, a single center speaker with a 4-inch cone woofer and 2.38-inch tweeter, and a 200-watt subwoofer with a 6.75-inch cone woofer. The speakers are compact yet robust, with enough power to fill a large living room without taking up excess space.
Additional features include component, S-video, and composite outputs; frame-by-frame and slow motion play; resume play (continues disc from same position it left off); bookmarking; and a host of comprehensive navigation menus. The system's receiver/DVD player measures 16.94 by 4.5 by 14.5 inches (W x H x D), while the satellites check in at 3.47 by 5.31 by 4.59 inches. Other measurements include 8.15 by 4.53 by 5.81 inches for the center speaker and 6.81 by 14.66 by 11.88 inches for the subwoofer. The entire system is backed by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
