Equipped with many of Sony's indispensable audio and video features, the DVP-NS415 DVD player delivers a first-class home theater experience. The unit, which plays CD, DVD, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, Video CD, and MP3 formats, offers Sony's Precision Drive 2 mechanism, which eliminates playback errors by playing even flawed discs. In addition, it offers block noise reduction, which minimizes the data noise that often interferes with DVD images, along with a digital video enhancer that improves contrast and picture detail. The DVP-NS415's SmoothScan and SmoothSlow modes ensure clean, crisp playback during both fast-scanning and slow-motion speeds. The player also provides accurate re-creation of the source material due to its 10-bit/27 MHz video digital-to-analog converter, which accurately re-creates the color and contrast. Accompanying the video enhancements is a host of audio features, including Dolby Digital and DTS outputs compatible with 5.1-channel surround sound receivers, a Digital Cinema Sound system that reproduces the precise acoustics of Hollywood's most acclaimed mastering stages, and virtual surround system that replicates a surround sound experience through built-in TV speakers or a dual-speaker stereo setup.
Parents will appreciate the parental lock feature, which prevents children from accessing mature titles, while the entire family will enjoy the convenience of CD and DVD Text, which display artists, titles, and even jacket covers on the front panel and TV. The unit includes component video, S-video, and two composite video outputs, along with coaxial and optical digital outputs.
