VS715 STAND ALONE DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYER
INTRODUCTION
DVD video is a high-quality digital video source that provides crisp and clear images. One 12 cm disc contains either one film or up to four hours of music content.
MP3 technology is a world recognized standard for digital video and audio compression, thus enabling more data to be squeezed onto a Compact Disc. MP3 technology is becoming more common with cable, internet and satellite transmission. The compression offered by MP3 technology makes it easier to transmit and record high quality video and audio signals from your computer than in the past. The VS715 allows playback of MP3 recorded media.
The Clarion VS715 is a full-featured Digital Media Player specifically created for the mobile environment. It is designed to work with Clarion Multimedia devices and Clarion Video Monitors for a complete video solution.
