Product Description
This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director's cut of a movie, listen to the producer's comments, or play your favorite scene repeatedly. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs (CDs) on this DVD Player, too. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the Audio CD on your television.
Amazon.com Product Description
Philips's affordable DVDQ35AT features high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs, built-in MP3 and AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) music decoding, and a dual-laser pickup for compatibility with not only DVDs and CDs, but also CD-Rs and CD-RWs. Whether you already have an HDTV or you're thinking of getting one, the DVDQ35AT stands ready to deliver the full potential of 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, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DVDQ35AT also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

A set of left-right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver. This player also decodes Dolby Digital signals, offering six analog RCA terminals (for left, center, right, subwoofer, and left and right surround channels) for routing surround sound to multichannel receivers that don't have onboard Dolby processing. Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick up where you left off on five most recently viewed DVDs, and 3D sound for virtual surround sound from two speakers.
