480188384

Bridging the gap -- thanks to advanced video processing, Sony's DVP-SR500H DVD player is able to enhance the standard definition video on your DVDs to near-HD, 1080p-equivalent levels, perfect for watching on your HDTV. All you need to do is use the player's HDMI output. Further, when your not watching DVDs or listening to CDs, you can use the Photo TV HD mode to optimize JPEG photos for display on an HDTV.

Precision . . . upscale . . Sony DVD

Let's call it a chasm. A gulf. An abyss, even. Whatever you call it, there's a gap between the standard definition video on all of your favorite DVDs and the Full HD capabilities of your flat panel HDTV. That is, a gap to the tune of 1.7 million pixels of resolution, detail, realism, whatever. So, naturally you must be thinking that the arrival of your HDTV effectively spells lights-out for your DVD library. And you'd maybe be right, that is, if it weren't for the Sony DVP-SR500H DVD player with video-upscaling technology. Using advanced video-processing techniques and the expanded data-transmission capacity of HDMI output, this single-disc player is able to enhance standard definition DVD video to near-HD, 1080p-equivalent levels. In fact, it can upscale SD 480i video all the way to 720p, 1080i, and1080p resolutions, serving up a perfect match for your HDTV's display capacity. Further, ensuring stunning video reproduction regardless of the source, the DVP-SR500H's Precision Cinema Progressive technology employs unique algorithms to isolate and process still and moving picture elements at the pixel level, achieving exceptional fidelity and clarity. Finally, a Precision Drive 3 system detects and corrects for warping or surface blemishes on discs, delivering smooth playback.

Photos on your HDTV . . . that's Photo TV HD

Sure, your big-screen HDTV does a great job bringing a cinema-sized video experience into your home. But it's got potential for more than that. Imagine sharing all your digital photos on 50+ inches of HD splendor. Well, thanks to the DVP-SR500H's Photo TV HD mode, you can do just that. Not only does this Sony DVD player support playback of a variety of DVD and CD formats, but it also supports JPEG photos recorded onto DVD and CD media. And, once you pop a JPEG disc into the player, Photo TV HD technology uses HDMI output to fine-tune the sharpness, gradation, and color of your images, optimizing their appearance on your HDTV.
