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.

Picture comparing film and video frames

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.

Picture showing standard 3-2 pulldown

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.

Picture showing Sony 3-2 reverse pulldown

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.

4 out of 5 stars Great investment.......2007-12-25

I've had this unit for about a year and half now and overall I'm really happy with it. I was a little concerned at first because of the reviews about losing all of the disc explorer information and scratching of the discs, but I have not experienced any of these problems. The only complaint I have with the unit is the load time for the discs, and the load time for the disc explorer (although in reality what difference does an extra 30 seconds really make!).

I originally had this dvd player hooked up via component cables, but it is now on an HDMI cable. Considering that I'm not a videophile in any sense of the word, I can't truly see much difference between the two, but overall the player puts out a very clear, sharp picture.

I would absolutely recommend this dvd player to anyone with a large dvd collection and a desire to keep the discs in good condition and archived, and I expect that another one will make its way into my home theater setup very soon.

4 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-12-24

3 out of 5 stars It's better than handling discs - that's all.......2007-12-23

I've had mine for about a year and other than capacity it has little going for it. Calling it a control/command structure is much too complimentary a description of its use of 'logic'. It is clunky and annoying to use from both the unit and the remote. PC keyboard input of disc information is frustrating and the machine dumps the entry if you remove a disc. The 'logic' feels like it was developed 15 years ago.

4 out of 5 stars Great device, awesome video but doesn't like keyboards........2007-12-17

I bought this device from a local store because I was skeptical that I'd really like it and didn't want the hassle of sending it back via a shipper. After connecting it to my system, I started loading it with DVD's. The device only recognized about 30% of my DVD's, of which I have about 150 so that makes for a lot of manual entry. I went and pulled one of my old PS/2 keyboards and plugged it in but it didn't work so basically, I had to manually enter every movie that didn't get automatically recognized. Aside from the hassle of labeling the DVD's, I'm really pleased with the quality.

1 out of 5 stars Changed My Mind.......2007-12-17

Wow I really wanted to buy this product but after reading the reviews I will not.
Sony take note! You need to improve.
I will look else where.
