Tap into multimedia fun
with Philips' broad-format, high-style, and
ultra-slim DVP642 DVD player. The DVP642 is
not only a high-end progressive-scan DVD
player equipped to offer scintillating
images on high-definition and HD-ready TVs,
it's a tech-savvy player that spins your
MP3- and JPEG-encoded recordable CDs (as
well as Kodak's and Fuji's variants of the
same) and CDs loaded with MPEG-4 and DivX
video (3.11, 4.x, and 5.x files), perfect
for viewing Internet-sourced content in your
home theater. Want more? The player also
converts Region 1/All Region PAL-formatted
discs (the video standard in Europe) for
viewing on standard NTSC televisions (and
vice-versa, if only for video CDs).

The DVP642's progressive-scan
functionality allows compatible TVs
to display the even and odd numbered
lines of an image in a single pass.
This minimizes screen flicker, which
is easier on your eyes.

Whether your living room is
currently home to an HDTV or you're
merely thinking of "someday," the
DVP642 stands ready to deliver the
full potential of your 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.
Playback options include
five-disc resume, which lets you
pick up where you left off on your
five most recently viewed DVDs (not
applicable for MP3 or JPEG CDs),
disc-lock parental controls, and
picture zoom for magnification of
select images.
|
The player will play JPEG images one by one
automatically, letting you zoom in, rotate,
or flip the picture vertically or
horizontally. For MP3 playback, the player
offers track time display, album and track
selection, and repeat (disc/album/track).
The DivX media format is MPEG-4 based video
compression that lets you save large files
like films, movie trailers, and music videos
on recordable media.
Philips' 4x video upsampling offers
smoother images even when viewing interlaced
(nonprogressive) signals through the
player's component-video, S-video, or
standard composite-video outputs.
SmartPicture provides optimum picture
settings for color, brightness, saturation,
contrast, sharpness, etc., to enhance your
overall viewing experience at all times.
