3D Blu-ray Disc playback DivX Plus HD

 

Full HD 3D provides the illusion of depth for a 
heightened, realistic cinema viewing 
experience at home. Separate images for the 
left and right eyes are recorded in 1920 x 1080 
full HD quality and alternately played on screen 
at a high speed. By watching these images 
through special glasses that are timed to open 
and close the left and right lenses in 
synchronisation with the alternating images, 
the full-HD 3D viewing experience is created.

DivX Plus HD on your Blu-ray player and/or 
DVD player offers the latest in DivX 
technology to let you enjoy HD videos and 
movies from the Internet directly on your 
Philips HDTV or PC. DivX Plus HD supports 
the playback of DivX Plus content (H.264 HD 
video with high-quality AAC audio in an MKV 
file container) while also supporting previous 
versions of DivX video up to 1080p. DivX Plus 
HD for true HD digital video.

HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are 
crystal clear. DVD movies in standard 
definition can now be enjoyed in high definition 
resolution - ensuring more details and more 
true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan 
(represented by "p" in "1080p') eliminates the 
line structure prevalent on TV screens, again 
ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it 
off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection 
that can carry uncompressed digital HD video 
as well as digital multi-channel audio, without 
conversions to analogue - delivering perfect 
picture and sound quality, completely free 
from noise.

Dolby TrueHD delivers the finest sound from 
your Blu-ray Discs. Audio reproduced is 
virtually indistinguishable from the studio 
master, so you hear what the creators 
intended for you to hear. Dolby TrueHD 
completes your high definition entertainment 
experience.

The Universal Serial Bus or USB is an industry 
standard that allows high-speed, easy 
connection of peripherals to PCs, consumer 
electronics and mobile products. The USB 2.0 
provides better and faster performance - up to 

40 times quicker than the USB 1.0 and with a 
data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps from the 
original 12 Mbps. When plugged in, everything 
configures automatically. With USB 2.0, simply 
plug in your USB portable devices or hard disk 
drives, select the movie, music or photo and 
play away.

EasyLink lets you control multiple devices like 
DVD players, Blu-ray players, soundbar 
speakers, Home theatre systems and TVs etc. 
with one remote. It uses HDMI CEC industry-
standard protocol to share functionality 
between devices through the HDMI cable. 
With one touch of a button, you can operate 
all your connected HDMI CEC-enabled 
equipment simultaneously. Functions like 
standby and play can now be carried out with 
absolute ease.

Subtitle Shift is an enhancement feature that 

lets users manually adjust a movie's subtitle 

positioning on the television or computer 

screen. Using the remote control, users can 

shift the subtitles up and down on the screen. 

On widescreen displays, such as 21:9 cinema 

and projectors, the subtitles sometimes get cut 

off. In order to see them clearly, the user has 

to change the display aspect ratio, which 

defeats the purpose of the widescreen. With 

the Subtitle Shift feature, the user can retain 

the correct display aspect ratio and have the 

subtitles ideally positioned on the screen.
