second, captures even the most complex pictures in their
original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of
over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.
This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to
Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made
in recording studios.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video
standard. This player can play both PAL and NTSC discs,
presenting them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers
optimal pictures on any TV screen.
