"MODEL- DVP5140/37 VENDOR- PHILIPS FEATURES- DivX Ultra DVD Player Be impressed with this Philips DVD player. Step into another home entertainment arena as you immerse yourself with DivX movies and Windows Media Audio in your own living room. Includes DVD Player, 2 x AAA Batteries, Audio/Video cable, Quick start guide, Remote Control, World Wide Warranty leaflet, User Manual, Product Registration Card.* Progressive Scan Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.* 12-bit Video DAC 12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10-bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.* 192kHz/24-bit audio DAC 192KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.* Multi-format Movies with DivX Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure.* DivX Ultra DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.* Music: Windows Media Audio Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure.* Picture CD with MP3 Playback Picture CD is a CD-R or CD-RW disc on which you can store your MP3 and digital pictures.

You can watch your pictures on TV with your music playing simultaneously. * Ultra-slim design The attractive enclosure has a very low profile."
