- Faroudja DCDI decoding chipset delivers premium progressive-scan quality (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs)
- Plays DVD-Video, CD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and MP3-CD/DVD-R/DVD-RW
- Coaxial digital audio output passes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel signals to compatible AV receivers for stunning surround sound
- CD dynamic range control improves intelligibility of low-level music listening
- Direct Search capability bypasses previews and disc menus
In another bold move, the DV-S25U can play MP3s from not only CD-Rs and CD-RWs, but DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, which offer much higher storage capacities than single recordable CDs. A single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver.
Direct Search lets you skip to any desired title, chapter, or track with the numeric button during playback or in stop mode, bypassing annoying previews and disc menus. Other playback options include zoom (2x or 4x), black-level adjustment, angle selection, display dimmer (great for darkening a room during a movie), resume, and parental controls (to keep mature content away from kids). Supplied accessories include an instruction manual and a remote control.

Sharp was nice enough to immediately replace the remote, but that didn't solve the problem.

Add on the shipping, and at today's prices, I might as well buy a new unit, especially considering the frustration that will ensue if it comes back not repaired. One more issue--sometimes it randomly displays a subtitle. This happens without rhyme or reason, on new disks as well as old. In short, I'm hooking my old...Read more |
