Product Description
Harman Kardon DVD changers combine the latest video technology with the company's traditional attention to audio-circuitry detail so that your home-theater presentations look as good as they sound. Harman Kardon 5-disc carousel changers let you enjoy a full evening of entertainment without leaving the comfort of your easy chair. All Harman Kardon DVD changers feature component video outputs, easy-to-use menu systems with full parental control features and a wide range of programming options for both CD and DVD discs, and a backlit remote control - all wrapped up in Harman Kardon's elegant design. The DVD 50 takes DVD performance to the next level. The DVD 50 is equipped with true progressive scan video outputs that reproduce the clarity of DVD video on compatible monitors. Its component (Y/Pr/PB), S- and composite video outputs provide an outstanding picture with a conventional monitor. The audio section is capable of playing back MP3 and HDCD-encoded discs, and both CD-R and CD-RW discs. With room for 5 discs, the DVD 50 can provide nonstop playback of hundreds of hours of MP3 files. It can also display both MP3 and CD text. The Wolfson 192kHz/24-bit audio DACs preserve all of the detail of the original recording.
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to handle every popular digital audio and video format, Harman Kardon's DVD50 with progressive scan is an advanced and versatile five-disc DVD video changer. The DVD50 is the first DVD changer to include built-in MP3 decoding from CD discs. The DVD50 can also play CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well as DVDs, standard audio CDs, and Video CD discs. With its built-in HDCD processing, the DVD50 delivers the ultimate in quality compact disc playback. Features such as progressive-scan component-video outputs and 10-bit video digital-to-audio conversion, with 27 MHz filtering, provide unsurpassed video performance.

In addition to progressive-scan output, the DVD50 includes standard-scan-rate component-video (Y/Pr/Pb), S-video, and composite-video outputs. A Wolfson 24-bit/192 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter offers extraordinary resolution, sonic accuracy, and compatible playback of high-resolution 96/24 audio discs. The DVD50 is compatible with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel discs and also includes a built-in HDCD decoder that allows listeners to enjoy the full sonic benefits of the improved resolution, dynamic range, and musical realism provided by the HDCD format. Thanks to its precision digital filter, the HDCD decoder also improves the sound quality of conventional non-HDCD-encoded CDs. The DVD50 includes coaxial and optical digital outputs, plus standard down-mixed analog audio outputs, and a down-mixed stereo headphone output for private listening.

The DVD50 takes user convenience to a new level. Its comprehensive, easy-to-use onscreen menu system and full-function backlit remote control make initial setup and operation simple and intuitive. The player offers a wide variety of viewing options, such as multiple-aspect-ratio selection, multiple viewing angles, a choice of multiple-language soundtracks and subtitles, and still and motion digital zoom.

The DVD50 also provides a number of picture search and scanning options, such as four-speed Smooth Scan (2x, 4x, 8x, 100x), four-speed Super Fine Slow Motion (1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x, and 1/16x), and frame-by-frame advance, along with a choice of program-play and repeat-play options. Additional convenience functions include MP3 Text and CD Text display, and a play-one/exchange-four disc-playback function that allows users to exchange up to four DVD discs in the changer while watching a fifth disc without interruption.

Harman Kardon provides a one-year warranty on parts and labor on the DVD50.
