It features Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive circuitry, Dolby
Digital and DTS 5.1 channel outputs, and also offers coaxial and
optical digital outputs. It's compatible with DVD-RW/-R/+RW/+R, MP3,
JPEG, CD-RW/-R, VCD and SVCD formats--so it can play just about any
disc you have from movies and video to music. Other convenience
features include multi-disc resume (40 discs), custom parental controls
(on all 400 discs), playback memory (400 discs), background graphics
that display on your TV while music plays, and a multi-brand remote
control.

Tech Talk
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface).
This 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 or monitor.
Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive. This
feature detects image changes at the pixel level versus other types that
detect image changes at the scan line level. Separate algorithms are
used to process the moving and still parts of an image to achieve
sharper backgrounds and moving objects that are free from motion
artifacts.
SACD (Super Audio CD). Super Audio CD is a high-quality
audio disc standard in which music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream
Digital) format (where conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM format).
Using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than PCM and with 1-bit
quantization, the DSD format provides both a wide frequency range and a
wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, providing music
reproduction that's extremely faithful to the original source.

Sony's 3:2 Reverse Pulldown
DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 reverse pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
Film and video use different numbers of frames Conversion from 24 frames to 60 frames can cause motion blur, horizontal lines that flicker on and off, or an unnatural shimmer.
3-2 pulldown The traditional method for converting film images to video for television: Take one film frame and split it into three video frames. Then take another film frame and split it into two video frames. The video frames are classified as odd or even. DVD players and other electronics then take the 60-frames-per-second video, and send it to a TV for viewing.
3-2 reverse conversion The process of converting 3-2 video back to movie-quality images at 24 frames per second. This allows the DVD player to combine the correct film frames, reproducing the film's original picture quality and texture.

Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive technology
Precision Cinema Progressive technology uses a 12-bit video DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with high-bandwidth, 108 MHz processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. That makes this player's picture more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because it uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle different pixel behaviors. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.
