Product Description:

Handling most media formats as well as full home-theater duty, the slim DVB312 from Zenith is a great choice for budget-minded audio- and video-loving technophiles and anyone looking to invest in a DVD player designed to be cutting edge for some time to come. Play MP3 and WMA CDs, homemade DVDs, JPEG image CDs--and, of course, commercial DVDs--all will look and sound great on a standard or high-resolution TV. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVB312 delivers the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. 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. The players onboard 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog audio converter ensures optimum decoding of all disc formats. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: the player simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV). Other features include CD-ROM-upgradeable firmware (for compatibility with future formats and features), full-motion picture zoom (4x, 16x), random and repeat playback, closed-caption support, and accommodation for interactive story (and multi-story) DVD programs. What's in the Box DVD player, S-video cable, composite-video/stereo analog RCA interconnect, remote control, two AAA batteries, user's guide, registration card, and warranty card.

Comment: Solid DVD Player Rating:
I bought this player after having a bad experience with the similarly priced JVC XV-N40BK player. The JVC had audio and visual problems so I returned it. So far the Zenith player has worked out perfectly. I'm using it with an RF modulator and I've had no problems whatsoever. The sound and picture are fine. I've watched Disney and other store-bought DVDs and I'm satisfied with the performance. I haven't tried burned DVDs yet so I wasn't comfortable giving it 5 stars. But for $70, I'm perfectly happy with this player.

Comment: A Great Buy! Rating:
I bought this DVD player recently, and I love it! I haven't had any major problems with this player, and I loved the price. I've played a lot of DVDs in it, even at least one from Netflix that was so dirty I was certain I would have to clean it before it would play. I put it in just to see, and it played with no problems and not a single skip! The only minor problem I've had was the sound being off from the timing of the action while watching one DVD, but I restarted the movie and it has not done that again. I love the super slim design and it's very light-weight. The remote is very user friendly. I would highly recommend this one!

Comment: Works for me Rating:
It works. It's super skinny and fits under the VCR. It plays all sorts of discs including DVDs and JPG CDs and CDA CDs. It has a cool fully adjustable zoom feature. I wish it had a better slider bar advance/skip feature like in PowerDVD but hey. Controls are easy enough for the kids to use. The picture quality is good on my regular 32 inch TV. I haven't had any problems with weird device behavior. It's cheaper than some computer internal CD drives.
