HDMI output
(480P/720P/1080i Scaling)
HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncom-
pressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD
formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. An all-digital, uncompressed signal
translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the
source. DVD-1730 scaling circuit supports up to 1080i.
■
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan technology represents a cast improvement over the interlaced
scanning method used in TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it
can process around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free pic-
ture with finer details. High-definition video images are faithfully displayed with opti-
mum naturalness and beauty.
The DVD-1730 has a feature of manual IP detection mode selection. Even if a DVD-Video
disc was mastered with wrong progressive flag or without a flag, the user can select a
mode (Auto1, Auto2 or Video) to enjoy higher performance of picture quality.

industry. If WMA is used to compress a music CD on a PC, for instance, using the
Encoder 9, the quality of sound at 64 kbps is said to be equivalent to that of the orig-
inal CD. WMA is now becoming a standard audio compression format rivalling
the popularity of MP3.
