DVD Players

What's Important in Choosing My DVD Player?

To get the best from your DVD first, you will need a television with at least 500 lines of resolution.

And although you can use your older stereo technology and speakers without a Dolby Digital surround sound system you may not be fully stimulated with your audio output delivered by your DVD player. For this reason, you might want to consider purchasing a moderately valued DVD player and also upgrade your stereo to a more modern Hi Fi version that is compatible with Dolby Digital Surround, the Newer 5.1 Surround, etc.

When comparing DVD players, it is important to consider ease of use.

Well configured controls, a universal but simple remote, logical on screen programming menus, and clear, 'un-high-tech' instructions could be considered be a must. Beyond that, the major distinction between DVD players comes down to subtle technologies in the audio and video output.

If you're a film junkie, a DVD player that provides smooth slow motion and high speed viewing will be what you want.

Video connections (S Video)

Better video connections mean better picture quality.

Today's DVD players have both composite video and 'S video' output jacks, but if you have to make a choice between the two, S-video jacks are better.

Higher end DVD players come with component video outputs. These are the best available so far.

Your TV monitor will need to have "S" video and/or component video inputs to use these features, however.
