Progressive Scanning

Progressive scanning provides maximum resolution for a smoother, filmlike image when viewed on a high definition TV or large screen. The DVD-C950 offers progressive scanning of both NTSC and PAL signals. DCDi circuitry detects type of picture sources and selects optimal processing accordingly, eliminating jagged edges that generally appear in moving images when interlaced video is converted to progressive. 3:2 pull-down is automatically applied when necessary.

Advanced Features

A new addition to the DVD-C950 is an HDMI interface digital video output, which sends uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio through a single, this compact interface cable connects DVD players, digital TVs, set-top boxes and other audio and video devices. HDMI eliminates the annoying signal degradation that occurs in the signal conversion process with other cable setups. The DVD changer supports both NTSC and PAL video signals, and can convert NTSC DVDs to PAL and vice-versa. There are five Video Picture Modes for detailed adjustments-Brightness, Sharpness, Contrast, Tint and Color-and each setting allows the user to enhance the picture for maximum quality depending on the lighting conditions in the viewing area.
