* all content
recorded from a CD to the DMC 1000’s hard
drive is identified by album name, artist and
genre, with additional information to show the
title of each track. Even better, for most popular
albums, the DMC 1000 will display the cover
art when connected to the Internet. The content
is automatically organized by the identification
fields and by the cover, and you may select it and
program playlists to suit any mood or occasion.
The graphical presentation of system content is
available in both high-definition and standard-
definition outputs, for crisp, easy-to-read displays
on any video screen.
To enable you to get the maximum quality from
DVDs, the DVD is equipped with the latest in
design techniques, including advanced 10-bit
video digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and
Video (composite), S-Video and RGB video (RGB
via SCART) outputs, to ensure that you get all the
quality inherent in today’s DVD medium.
For optimum playback of nTSC and PAL DVD
with compatible high-definition display devices,
DVD is equipped with progressive component
video outputs.
When used with an HDMI-compatible audio/
video receiver and video display, the program
quality is preserved.
By passing an uncompressed signal, degrada-
tion is virtually nonexistent. And the single-cable
connection eliminates the problem of wire
management.
If you have not yet upgraded to an HDMI video
display, you may still enjoy pristine picture qual-
ity with the DMC 1000’s precision video DACs,
which output a Y/Pr/Pb progressive-scan com-
ponent signal and composite and S-video. Thus,
no matter what type of video display used, you
will see images that are the closest thing to the
original film or performance this side of your local
theater.
When playing audio CDs, the playback quality is
state-of-the-art, matching that of the finest play-
ers available.
In addition to DVD and CD playback, the DMC
1000 offers audio and still-image playback from
both solid-state media cards and USB drives. You
can even record analog sources such as your old
tapes, cassettes and even vinyl records (with an
optional, external phono preamp) to store virtu-
ally any audio content for instant playback. And
the DMC 1000 allows content to be transferred
from the hard drive to the memory cards or a USB
drive, or even a recordable CD. This flexibility lets
