ONKYO SIGHT & SOUND

Even though the receiver drives your home theater, the delivery of precision audio and video signals is paramount in realizing the benefits of high-resolution audio and video formats. This is where the DV-SP1000 steps up: advanced circuitry and connectivity options that bring the best out of the full range of disc formats. With HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) enabling a pure video signal stream, the DV-SP1000 is the perfect partner for the latest HDTV displays. And to bring the best out of HD video formats, Oplus’ FlexScale™ enables video scaling of PAL and NTSC discs—up to 720p and 1080i—giving this player the edge that others fail to match. Progressive/interlaced scan processing for both PAL and NTSC are further enhanced by parts like an Analog Devices 216 MHz/14-bit video D/A converter and dedicated component video connections. DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD playback, delivered through two i.LINK ports, give you the best multichannel audio on offer—especially when the DV-SP1000 is paired with a receiver of comparable quality. A bi-directional RS232 port, 12 V triggers and IR input/output enable compatibility with control systems. Such a remarkable universal player can’t go without recognition, which is why it’s THX Ultra Certified for its superb standards in home theater audio and video playback.
