DVD Players

What Main Criteria Should Influence My DVD Player Choice?

To make the most of DVD, you will need a television with at least 500 lines of resolution. And even though you can use your stereo receiver and speakers, without a Dolby Digital surround sound system you will not be able to fully appreciate the audio output delivered by your DVD player. For these reasons, you might want to consider buying a moderately priced DVD player and upgrading your receiver and speakers at the same time.

When comparing DVD players, it is always important to consider ease of use. Well-designed controls, a universal remote, logical on-screen menus, and clear, concise instructions should be a prerequisite. Beyond that, the major distinction between DVD players comes down to differences features and in the audio and video output. If you're a film buff, a DVD player that provides smooth slow motion and high speed viewing is a must.

Video connections
Better video connections mean better picture quality. Most 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. Remember, your TV monitor needs to have "S" video and/or component video inputs to use these features.
