Code-Free & Region-Free Toshiba DVD Player with DVD-Audio and DTS Decoder
With features like Digital Cinema Progressive, Video Black Level Expansion and PLUGE, and 3D-DNR (Digital Noise Reduction), the SD4900 delivers outstanding picture quality. It also has the ability to play DVD-Audio, MP3 and WMA files, and has a JPEG viewer.
ColorStream Pro and Digital Cinema Progressive
ColorStream Pro component video output allows the highest quality signal to be sent from your DVD player to your TV. When this connection is utilized, typical NTSC artifacts (like video noise and dot crawl) are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. Digital Cinema Progressive (3:2 Pulldown) delivers the smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television, such as an HD-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution.
Outstanding Audio
Coaxial and Optical TosLink Digital Audio Outputs send the audio signal to an audio/video receiver in its digital form, allowing access to the Dolby Digital or DTS sound track encoded on the DVD disc. The Dialogue Expansion system (E.A.M.) offers three audio-enhancing modes: NORMAL; 3-D provides virtual surround sound from two-speaker playback systems via Spatializer N-2-2; and DIALOGUE enhances center channel frequencies during playback of Dolby Digital encoded discs via the analog audio outputs. This is perfect for times when you need to keep the volume low, but still want to hear what is being said.
More To See
With the JPEG Viewer you can display your digital photographs (JPEG format) on your TV. An intuitive onscreen display is there to assist you in creating customizes slideshows with a few simple clicks of the DVD player's remote control. The 16x Power Zoom lets you select an area of the picture and zoom in on it. You can also use the Power Zoom to expand letterbox-only films to increase the viewable area onscreen. Enhanced digital processing known as 3D-DNR reduces random noise in DVD images. It does this by comparing the present frame to the previous and succeeding frames. Unmatched information that is above a certain level is identified as video noise and removed. This improves the picture quality of Video CDs, poorly mastered DVD films, and images viewed in Zoom mode.
More To Hear
The SD4900 is capable of playing DVD-Audio and SACD so you can take advantage of this new format that delivers higher resolution audio than standard CDs and expanded multi-channel effects. The MP3 and WMA audio compatibility of this player expands its functionality to include playback of custom music collections encoded in MP3 or WMA digital audio format onto CD-R or CD-RW media. There are also an increasing number of commercially produced discs now available in these formats that you can enjoy on your new DVD player thanks to its additional decoding abilities.
