Zenith DVB412 Ultra-Slim Progressive-Scan DVD Player Specifications

Zenith's ultraslim DVB412 is a jack-of-all-trades entertainment device, spinning commercial DVDs, homemade DVDs and VCDs, as well as music and image discs. Now you can enjoy your custom MP3 and WMA music mixes and personal slideshows from JPEG image CDs whether your DVB412 is hooked up in your office, bedroom, or living room.

From a video standpoint, the DVB412 is equipped to deliver the full potential of your commercial DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

A single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver, and the player's 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog audio converter ensures optimum sound decoding of all disc formats.

If you don't have a surround receiver or 6-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: the player simulates surround sound through 2 speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).

Other features include CD-ROM-upgradeable firmware (for compatibility with future formats and features), full-motion picture zoom (4x, 16x), random and repeat playback, closed-caption support, and accommodation for interactive story (and multi-story) DVD programs.
