Get maximum enjoyment out of both your VHS and DVD movie libraries with
the progressive scan Toshiba SD-V593 DVD/VCR Combo. The multi-format DVD
player is compatible with a wide range of disc formats, including DVD
movie, CD audio, DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, VCD, and SVCD. Additionally, it will
also play MP3 and WMA digital audio files burned to disc and display
JPEG photo slideshows. You'll be able to view JPEG images directly from
your digital camera's memory card, via the 7-in-2 media card slot, which
is compatible with Secure Digital (SD), Mini SD, MultiMedia (MMC),
Memory Stick (Standard, Pro, Duo, Pro Duo), CompactFlash, and XD Picture
cards. It also offers an integrated digital AM/FM radio tuner with a
total of 50 presets. The VCR features 19-micron heads that Heads match precisely the width
of the SP and EP azimuths and read only the signal recorded on each
azimuth (not adjoining tracks). The benefit is significantly enhanced
SLP and EP performance so good, it rivals the quality of tapes recorded
in the SP Mode. The Auto Clock Set function ensures that your VCR never
blinks "12:00" again. A special data stream in your local broadcast
source (where available) automatically sets the clock display and keeps
it accurate--even when time changes to daylight saving and back. Other
VCR features include SP and EP recording speeds, 8 event/1 year
programming, and auto channel setup.
The DVD player provides the Digital Cinema progressive scan (3-2
inverse pulldown) function, which provides accurate, smooth film

controls, digital picture zoom, and tri-lingual on-screen menus
(English, French, Spanish).
The ColorStream Pro component video output allows the video signal to
be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped interlaced or
progressive scan TV. When utilized with an HD-compatible set, typical
NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually
eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with
unequaled color purity. It also offers an HDMI connection for video
up-conversion to high-definition 720p/1080i video formats. The full

Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection
from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog
signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal
reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently
communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The
HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes
digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.
