Toshiba SD-V594 DVD/VCR Player

Combining a progressive scan DVD player and a Hi-Fi stereo VCR, the SDV594 lets you take full advantage of today's DVD capabilities, without making you give up your old VCR habit. With simultaneous DVD playback and VHS record, you can even get your fix of both technologies at once. 14-bit/108MHz video digital-to-analog conversion delivers maximum color purity, detail and resolution, while 24-bit/192kHz PCM audio compatibility delivers warmer, more natural-sounding audio from many types of discs. Provided the DVD you're watching has not been encoded with the Macrovision copy protection system, you can even record it to VHS without color distortion. The SDV594 features a USB interface that will support mass storage classification devices for simple multimedia playback. The single HDMI cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form and secure by use of High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) regardless of signal output resolution. The SDV594 up-converts the standard DVD picture resolution to nearly HDTV-quality with output resolutions of 720p or 1080i. This 4-head/19-micron head system offers superior slow motion effects over conventional 2 head VCR designs. The VCR includes pleasant features like commercial skip, 8 event/1 year programming, auto clock and an auto head cleaner. And you're sure to appreciate the DVD player's digital picture zoom, fast scan, slow motion, multi-camera angle select and multi-language select. The Parental Lock feature is always a nice addition for a family, and you can even choose between English, French and Spanish for your on-screen display language. minimize
