Key Features of the LG DN788
- Video Upconversion: The SD-4990 has the ability to upconvert a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 720p or 1080i and pass it through the HDMI output; upconverted signals are not passed by the component video output.
- Video D/A Converter: This unit uses a 27MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter, which reduces digital artifacts for a better picture and provide unsurpassed color purity, color detail and resolution.
- Audio D/A Converter: The Toshiba SD-4990 has a 192kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter for superb audio reproduction.
- Progressive Scan Output: Progressive-scan video has less flicker and fewer motion artifacts than the traditional interlaced-scanning method, resulting in a superior picture. To take advantage of this feature, you must have a television with component video inputs that supports the progressive scanning mode. The ColorStream Pro component outputs on this unit can be set to pass either progressive or interlaced video.
- MP3/WMA Playback: This unit will play MP3/WMA audio files recorded onto CD-ROM and CD-R discs using the ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet formats. Compatible bit rates include 32-320 kbps for MP3 and 48-192 kbps for WMA. Each disc can have no more than 256 folders and 1000 files.
- JPEG Disc Playback: This unit will play JPEG files recorded onto CD-ROM and CD-R discs using the ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, or Joliet formats. You can select a single image or a page of 9 thumbnails. Each disc can have no more than 256 folders and 1000 files. Maximum file size is 3072 x 2048.
- DivX Playback: This unit will play DivX and MPEG-4 files recorded onto CD-ROM and CD-R discs. DivX is a compression technology. Optional DivX software allows you to create and play your own DivX videos. Video-on-demand movies are also commercially available to buy or rent. Each disc can have no more than 256 folders and 1000 files.
- Zoom: The Zoom feature allows you to get an increasingly close-up view of the image. Each press of the Zoom button increases the magnification to 1.3x (Zoom 1), 1.5x (Zoom 2), or 2.0x (Zoom 3). You can also move the zoomed image around the screen.
- Resume Play: Resume play allows you to resume playback of a disc from the point where you last stopped. The stopping point is cleared when the Stop button is pressed more than once, the disc tray is opened, or the unit is turned off.
- Bookmark: This function allows you to store bookmarks on a disc that can be easily recalled. You can bookmark up to 3 scenes at a time.
- Parental Lock Function: You can select a parental control rating from 0-8, which is protected by a 4-digit password.
- HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface): The unit's HDMI simplifies A/V connections by carrying video and digital audio all in one cable. This unit features HDCP copyright protection technology, and must be connected to an HDCP-compliant device. If your TV has a DVI input instead of an HDMI input, you can connect this unit to your TV using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. You will also need to connect audio cables to the player because DVI is a video only cable.

USER REVIEWS
Model Purchased: LG DN788 Region Free DVD Player
Date of Purchase: 7/28/08
Order Number: 843119Product Review:
We purchased this player for the dual purpose of playing British Region 2 music DVDs, and Historic European Art DVDs. So we have a double use for two different classes - two contexts. I'm a music professor and we have been very pleased with the performance of the World Clad codefree modification. We just put in the DVD and it performs all the conversions from Region 2 and from PAL to NTSC. There is no adjustment necessary. One other feature we like about this LG DVD player in particular is that there are 5 different fast forward speeds available (which helps when teaching a class). The unit works fine with no problems.
