DVD Players 
 
 
The essential home theater source component, a DVD player is also one of the 
best entertainment values today.  It delivers digital picture quality that until recently you 
would only have seen in a TV broadcast studio.  You'll hear digital-quality surround 
sound.  You'll enjoy over ten thousand titles including movies, concert videos, children's 
programs and more.  Of course, compared to videotape, DVDs are more compact, more 
durable and offer much faster access to individual movie scenes.  And DVDs never need 
rewinding.  
 
DVD MOVIES. Thousands of titles are 
available for sale or rent, each one 
carrying the promise of spectacular 
pictures and superlative sound.
 
 
 
Features to look for: 
 
ƒ
  Progressive scan.  This feature effectively doubles the picture quality.  To get the 
benefit of progressive scan, you'll want to connect your DVD player to a "high 
scanning," "High Definition monitor" or "High Definition upgradeable" television.  If 
you own or you're thinking of buying one of these televisions, then a progressive 
scanning DVD player is a must.  
ƒ
  3-2 reverse conversion is a technology employed in the better progressive scan DVD 
players.  It retains the integrity of the movie's original film frames.  You'll see a 
clearer picture, especially on scenes with movement.
