Pioneer DV 333

The Pioneer DV-333 DVD player features 10-Bit 27 MHz Video D/A Conversion that provides rapid processing of the video signal with less signal loss, ensuring maximum image resolution and images free of artifacts. Video Black Level Expansion with Pluge is an essential image-enhancing feature for expanding contrast and producing the deepest blacks available in any video format. The Black cutoff level ranges from 7.5 IRE NTSC standard to 0 IRE for wider gray scale contrast, which delivers more vibrant colors. Plus, the system is capable of reproducing "Blacker than Black" Pluge signals, critical for setting proper picture brightness levels. Component Video Outputs provide the highest level of video signal transfer quality available today when connected to televisions equipped with compatible inputs. By dividing the video signal into component elements, component video outputs deliver a remarkable improvement in picture detail at maximum resolution, with unmatched color purity and edge detail. Color blooming and "hanging dots" are eliminated, as well as the other NTSC artifacts. DTS Compatibility allows this DVD player to pickup and output DTS (Digital Theater System) 5.1 channel audio signals for decoding by DTS-decoding receivers. The sound of DTS is three-dimensional with a wide dynamic range and a minimum of compression artifacts. 96 kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Converter Maximizes DVD and CD audio performance capability, providing smoother, less digitized transitions, and richer sonic texture. Coaxial Digital Audio Input is featured for connection of other digital audio sources such as MD players, for incredible sonic performance.This player is equipped Twin-Wave Laser Pickup for playing DVDs and CDs, Video CDs and CD-Rs. The player automatically detects which type of disc is loaded, and activates the appropriate diode to provide the optimal laser wavelength for playback. The pickup's twin-wave design provides the best possible performance regardless of format. Viterbi RF Decoding Process applies a sophisticated parametric statistical analysis to enhance correction of disc data errors caused by fingerprints, dust, and warping, thereby considerably reducing the error rate. More simply put, fewer errors means higher fidelity audio and video, and a more pleasant entertainment experience. Advanced Graphical User Interface simplifies control of a versatile range of operations, allowing all commands to be set up even as a disc plays.
