DVD37 Slimline Silver/Black DVD/CD with HDMI Out & Remote
The DVD 37 is a state-of-the-art optical disc player that can play almost every music, movie and still-image disc in your library with the highest fidelity available today. Along with playback of conventional DVD movie discs and audio CDs, the DVD 37 lets you enjoy the latest high-resolution DVD-Audio discs, with HDMI? (High-Definition Multimedia Interface?) output of pure, uncompressed digital audio and video that showcases your favorite movies and music as you?ve never experienced them before.
A virtually universal player, the DVD 37 can also play files recorded on a computer?s optical drive in the MP3 or Windows Media© formats, CD-R/RW discs, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs and VCD programs, and still images recorded in the JPEG format.
Regardless of a disc?s format, the DVD 37?s video and audio playback is of the highest quality, thanks to pixel-by-pixel video processing and true 3/2 pulldown reconstruction of film-based programming. When used with an HDMI-compatible audio/video receiver and video display, the program quality is preserved. By passing an uncompressed signal, degradation is virtually nonexistent. And the single-cable connection eliminates the problem of wire management.
If you have not yet upgraded to an HDMI video display, you may still enjoy pristine picture quality with the DVD 37?s precision video DACs, which output aY/Pr/Pb progressive-scan component signal and composite and S-video. Thus, no matter what type of video display used, you will see images that are the closest thing to the original film or performance this side of your local theater. To further fine-tune the video output, a built-in test pattern may be used in conjunction with either the controls on your display, or the video output adjustments on the DVD 37.
In keeping with its 50-year tradition as a leader in audio technology, Harman Kardon has loaded the DVD 37 with cutting-edge features. In addition to both optical and coaxial digital outputs for Dolby© Digital, DTS© or PCM recordings, the analog outputs for down-mixed stereo or DVD-Audio playback use audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converters for crystal clear outputs.
The DVD 37?s exclusive graphical interface makes it easy to get started, simplifying setup and configuration adjustments. During playback, the on-screen menus allow a wide range of program options. Additional menu options provide a full range of parental control features to control which discs may be viewed by younger members of the household, as well as a complete status screen which provides the technical details on the disc being played.
