Description

Early Adopters Pick: April 2003 JVC’s XV-N50BK is the world’s slimmest DVD player.

With its elegant slim-line design and ice-blue illuminated front panel, the XV-N50BK DVD player is not just versatile, but beautiful. And it handles the whole thing from DVD-Video and standard audio CD to audio CD-R and CD-RW discs, MP3 and WMA CD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and even CDs filled with JPEG image files so you’ll watch digital slide shows on tv.

JVC’s 1-bit P.E.M. D.D. audio converter achieves terrific sonic resolution with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The XV-N50BK has been optimized for the high sampling frequency of 192 kHz, providing an extra-wide dynamic range to realize the advantages of high-spec DVD sources. The model’s 10-bit, 54 MHz video sampling frequency ensures detailed images and clear, pure colors for DVD movies. And, with seven parameters to adjust, the unit’s Video Fine Processor (VFP) provides exceptional versatility in fine-tuning images to personal preferences. The player provides a collection of either optical or coaxial digital-audio output for routing Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to a compatible audio/video receiver.

A high-resolution onscreen graphical user interface (GUI) allows Windows-like interactive operation with tool bars superimposed onto the TV screen for easy, point-and-click operation. Other conveniences include AV CompuLink (which optimizes performance when the use of the player along with other JVC equipment), Quick Start, 1.5x playback with sound, 13-step zoom, and screen fill (which zooms in on a DVD image to get rid of letterbox “bars” on the TV screen).
