Amazon.com Product Description
At less than three inches tall, this DVD-Audio-equipped JVC player is as sleek as it is powerful. The player offers high-resolution DVD-Audio capability with JVC's custom 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. digital-to-analog audio converter and premium-quality progressive-scan video (for use with a high-definition or HD-ready TV). Oh, yes--the unit also plays your MP3 music and JPEG image CDs.

DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity stereo and six-channel sound at 192k Hz/24-bit resolution and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. As an anti-piracy measure, the XV-SA602SL performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to a surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs. The unit also decodes standard Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound through those same analog outputs, while digital-audio outputs (one each coaxial and optical) provide the option of a direct digital connection to a receiver. For stereo-only setups, 3D-Phonic virtual surround sound simulates surround through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on a TV).

JVC's Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output, quantified 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 higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. High-quality component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs assure compatibility with nearly any set. VFP (Video Fine Processor) provides seven-parameters picture adjustment, including gamma, brightness, contrast, color, tint, sharpness, and "Y delay." In addition to two factory presets (normal and cinema) there are two user-selectable memories. Other features include gold-plated analog outputs, digest (for visual access to desired title/chapter), a high-resolution GUI (graphical user interface), and 13-step zoom (from .125x to 1024x). The player comes with a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, user's manual, and a glow-in-the-dark multi-brand remote control.
