Watch your favorite DVDs on your high-definition flat screen television
with no loss of video quality thanks to the Toshiba SD-4990
upconverting, single-disc DVD player. Using the HDMI connection and a
compatible TV, you'll get uncompressed digital video up to HDTV level
resolutions of 720p or 1080i. And since this conversion is performed
within the player, the signal remains free from excessive
digital-to-analog conversion artifacts. You'll also be able to view
your high-megapixel digital camera snapshots in enhanced resolution
via the HDMI connection. Measuring just 1.65 inches high, this
stylishly silver, super-slim player is compatible with a wide variety
of disc and digital file formats, including DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, and VCD
discs as well as MP3, WMA, and JPEG (Kodak Picture and FujiColor CDs)
content burned to disc. It's also DivX Home Theater Certified, meaning
that it's compatible with video burned to disc using both the DivX
video format. The SD-4990 performs 3:2 pulldown detection and
reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie
programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24
frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie
must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication
by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate
picture. With the JPEG Viewer, you can easily display your
favorite digital photos and create custom slideshows with a few simple
clicks of the player's remote control. The interactive Digital Picture
Zoom feature allows you to select an area of the video from a DVD and
magnify it. Other DVD playback features include fast scan, slow
motion, multi-angle selection, multi-subtitle selection, and parental
lock. You get vivid, realistic sound, thanks to Toshiba's
24-bit/192 kHz pulse code modulation (PCM) audio processor. PCM audio
translates digital signals from your DVDs and CDs into warmer, natural
sound. The DVD player offers Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and you
can connect to a multi-channel home theater surround sound system via
the coaxial digital audio output. It also produces 3D virtual surround
sound from two speakers. It features the following video and audio
connections: - Composite A/V: 1
- S-Video: 1
- Component
Video: 1
- HDMI: 1
- Digital audio: 1 coaxial, 1 optical
Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like
MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can
reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its
original size while still retaining good video and audio quality,
enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD
media. HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD
player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus
multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC
formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video
input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue
color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in
increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more
accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding
than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug)
connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for
sound. What's in the Box
