Simplify My Life: January 2008

SIMPLY WIRED, OF EAST STROUDSBURG, PA.

-Today we gave away a free DVD player to a family in need, as you can remember from our previous post we were doing a drawing, and the winner was from Bangor, Pa!

We caught wind that his kids still had a bunch of VHS tapes, so instead of the HK we ordered him up a brand new Samsung DVD/ VHS combo! We have included some information below about this slick machine. Remember, at Simply Wired we make electronics easy!!

Move Into The Future, Hang On To Your Past-

The DVDV9700 from Samsung lets you move on to the DVD future without giving up your VHS past. It features a progressive scan DVD player and a Hi-Fi Stereo VCR. The DVD player not only plays DVD releases, but also DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CDs, including CD-R/RW discs, even those with MP3/WMA files burned on them. You can also view JPEG picture CDs. VHS Hi-Fi Stereo recording and playback provides top quality video and audio recording from cable/satellite set-top box input or other external source components. This unit has no built-in TV tuner. Experience the best of both worlds with the DVDV9700.

Watch DVDs You Already Have In High Definition-

Get the most out of your high definition TV and your existing collection of standard DVD resolution discs with Samsung's DVDV9700 upconversion feature. With the increasing interest in HDTV, many home theater owners find themselves with a new digital television but no high definition programming to take the best advantage of their investment. Samsung's upconversion technology opens up a vast library of 480p native resolution DVD material to output in a selectable high definition format (720p or 1080i) that matches the native resolution of the display device--read TV. All you need is an HDMI cable and a high definition television with an HDMI input. Not only are the output signals upgraded, but the entire process takes place in the digital domain, eliminating data loss and other artifacts associated with analog conversion.

Stunning Sights, Thrilling Sounds-

Upconverted signals are sent from the DVDV9700 to a compatible TV by HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output. With this latest single-cable connection, the signal stays digital until it's displayed on the screen, for the cleanest picture quality possible. There's also more conventional video outputs for TVs that aren't HDMI-equipped. Composite video and component video are both available. And what good is a stunning high definition picture without thrilling surround sound? Samsung provides both coaxial and optical digital audio outputs for connection to your home theater receiver. The DVDV9700 supports Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, so you're always certain to have great sound to go along with a great picture no matter what DVD you play.
Are There Formats You Can't Play?
There might be, but it won't be one of the predominant formats. This machine plays DVD video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, CD audio, CD-R/RW; and, as if that weren't enough, the DVDV9700 also plays MP3, WMA, and JPEG files on CD-R discs. JPEG files can be seen in a slide show with adjustable intervals between images; and you can zoom in on an image or rotate it. The DVDV9700 even delivers high-quality DivX movies. Just insert a DVD or CD that has DivX movies downloaded via computer and enjoy watching them on your large-screen TV.

And Speaking Of DivX-

DivX is a digital media format that puts the tools of digital expression directly into the hands of the people. Since 1999, a global following has embraced DivX as a way to free digital video from the constraints of physical media. Today, DivX technology lets millions of people share in a vivid flow of events and ideas, projected through images that come alive to inspire, amuse, inform, educate and entertain. Since its inception, DivX has been among the world's most popular video technologies and has been downloaded over 200 million times. DivX is helping to redefine the media experience by enabling anyone to create, share and play highly-compressed, high-quality video content. DivX technology now powers an entire ecosystem of interoperable products and services, from a secure digital video distribution solution to tens of millions of consumer electronics devices and popular video software applications. But DivX isn't just a technology. It's a global community informed by creativity and passion for all that is possible with digital media, and that community is growing in strength and number every day.

Headache-Free Operation-

Not only does the DVDV9700 do a lot, it does a lot without giving you a headache. An easy-to-navigate tri-lingual on-screen display makes setup a breeze. The EZ View Letter Box Eliminator lets you get rid of the black letterbox bars on standard 4:3 aspect ratio TV screens with the push of a button on the remote control. Four heads help give the VCR superior slow motion and stop action, and you get INTRO scan, zero return, and END search to make navigating VHS tapes even easier. A 7-event/1-month recording timer lets you plan well in advance for your favorite shows, and there's also one-touch recording to activate 30-minutes of recording time per button push on the remote control. Repeat title/chapter, along with a variable search system will help you get through DVDs, and a parental control system helps you keep the kiddies out of rated DVD content you'd rather not have them see.
