Pioneer Dvd Recorder: The Pioneer Dvr-225-s Pure Cinema Home Dvd Recorder
The Pioneer DVD Recorder DVR-225-S Pure Cinema Home DVD Recorder has received excellent reviews from both consumers and market professionals. This sleek digital video recorder plays DVD discs, DVD-R, DVD-RW discs as well as CDs. It can also display MP3s and JPEG image files.
The Pioneer DVR-225-S Pure Cinema Home DVD recorder also features progressive scan output. Progressive scanning is generally indexed by the number of horizontal lines that make up the video image. At 480p the number of horizontal lines that this unit delivers is about twice as many as conventional DVD players, presenting a better picture with higher resolution and sharper images at the same time it eliminates almost all motion artifacts –wavy lines and static that whether barely noticeable or not, take away from overall viewing quality.
The DVR-225-S Pure Cinema player provides Dolby Digital and virtual surround sound. What is virtual surround sound? Surround sound can be mimicked by offsetting the front and rear speaker volumes and timing. Depending on viewer positioning, the front or rear speakers can be adjusted via a fade setting that will create an effect very much like actual surround sound. Of course actual surround sound depends on the speaker system that you have attached to your DVD player.
In addition to standard composite audio video outputs, users can use the S-video or component video out with many newer televisions for increased image quality. This model can play audio CDs, MP3 and WMA files, making it a very versatile video player indeed.
