The Harman Kardon DVD 38 is engineered to deliver superlative video performance. The DVD 38 features upscaling to 1080i, and both players utilize pixel-by-pixel and motion-adaptive pixel-based deinterlacing to upconvert images to progressive-scan video playback, eliminating jagged edges and other motion artifacts that often occur using other types of circuits. The result is remarkably sharp, clear and realistic picture quality.

The DVD 38 produces unsurpassed sound, as well. It employs audiophile-grade 192kHz/24-bit audio D/A converter and premium internal components in the audio signal path, and provides complete audio control and bass management for DVD-Audio playback.

The DVD 38 also incorporates highly versatile features and flexibility. It can play DVDVideo, Windows Media(R) Audio (WMA), MP3, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and many other disc types, and offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy movies, music and images, thanks to it's exclusive navigational interface, developed by Harman Kardon. The DVD 38 is designed for total connection flexibility and ease of operation in any home entertainment system. It comprise a host of performance and convenience functions, including a useful NTSC/PAL disc-auto-detection feature, which detects whether a disc is encoded in either the NTSC or PAL video format (standard in the U.S. and many other countries), and converts the video output of PAL discs for compatible playback with NTSC video display devices.

The players are striking in appearance - ultraslim, with a gloss-black upper panel, a silver lower panel, a blue dot-matrix display and a minimum of visible controls.
