It's compatible with discs using DivX, the video compression technology that's the video equivalent of MP3 audio. Just create a DivX movie on your computer, burn it to DVD, and play it on the DV-588A-S. It also plays multi-channel, high-resolution DVD-Audio and SACD discs, plus DVD, CD, and your recordings on DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, MP3, and WMA. It even has a PhotoViewer feature for viewing JPEG still photos. For high-performance video, the DV-588A-S features a 12-bit/108MHz Video D-A converter, Pioneer's PureCinema 2: 3 Progressive Scan, and a component video output. Plus, seven video adjustments give you maximum versatility and performance. For great audio, the DV-588A-S has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround sound decoders.
