Product Description
The DVD-P231 provides the smooth, progressive scan image which eliminates even the slightest hint of blur or distortion, bringing new realism to your DVD selection.
Amazon.com
Samsung's titanium-finished and remarkably affordable DVD-P231 features high-end component-video outputs, built-in MP3 and WMA decoding for home-brewed CD compilations, and even compatibility with JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs. Now you can enjoy a slideshow of digital pictures right there on the television.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-P231 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. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

The DVD-P231 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. Another handy feature is EZ View letterbox eliminator, which lets you enjoy full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs--even when watching widescreen DVDs.

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 output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and warranty information.

Absolute waste of money.......2007-03-04

This is an absolute waste of money. It comes with no instructions on how to disassemble and reassemble it. While disassembling it I broke one of the pieces of cosmetic plastic. Then, I find out my hard drive is TOO LONG for the unit. I then decide to turn it on without both ends closed. After several attempts I finally get Windows XP Pro to detect it. I transferred some files at a decent speed then shut the unit down. A few hours later I Went to use the unit again, and my only 3 month old HD now makes an annoying clicking sound and is pretty much ruined, no doubt thanks to this Sabrent piece of junk.

I ordered two drives but only one was sent. Shipping apparently made a mistake. Two calls later, they sent the second drive. The first worked well and I just received the second.

Does the job -- tiny footprint.......2007-01-26

After my son's computer died I promised I would retrieve the data on his HD. Buying this enclosure seemed like the simplest solution -- and it was. The drive was installed and the data retrieved within minutes of the package showing up on our doorstep.

Some reviewers state that the enclosure is too small. That is not really the case. If you slide the HD straight in, it may hit the edge of the end-cap. However it is not really fully inserted yet. A quick jiggle will give you another half-inch and then you are ready to close it up. Everything you need is inluded in the package.

Note that, depending on where the HD you are using came from (e.g. a new purchase or the salvaged drive from an older computer) you may need to change the jumper switches on the drive itself. The instructions specific to your drive should be printed on the drive itself.

An excellent item, must buy.......2007-01-23
