Reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. This allows for you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering digital Video and Audio over one simple cable.
Past generations of Precision Drive systems were only able to compensate for warped discs by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the amount of correction possible. Sony's new Precision Drive™ 3 system simplifies the process by moving the lens-instead of the entire optical block-for faster and more accurate error correction.
Allows for the alignment of the audio track to match the video - necessary for some new televisions that buffer or delay video.
Other DVD players detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source-whether film or video-because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from motion artifacts.
As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA® Theater Sync™ to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA® televisions and other Sony audio and video components, in addition to audio and video transmission, will transmit control functions via the HDMI™ cable. With "One Touch Play," operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the A/V component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA® television turn on and switch to the correct video input and Simple and Easy and BRAVIA® Theater Sync™.
