Precision Drive System

Sony DVD players are known for their phenomenal ability to track discs that are warped, off-center, dusty or otherwise less than perfect. That's primarily due to Sony's Precision Drive system, which incorporates a Dynamic Focus Pickup, Sony's exclusive Active Tilt Control and an advanced DSP Servo system - all for accurate tracking. In addition, a High-Speed Stepping Motor makes for fast access to your entertainment.



Virtual Surround

TV Virtual Surround (TVS) is an amazing audio technology developed by Sony. Designed to work with the sound characteristics of your TV, this technology gives you the excitement of surround sound, using nothing more than your stereo TV's internal speakers. Choose from four different TVS modes. TVS Dynamic uses sound imaging to create a pair of virtual rear speakers that seem to be positioned on either side of the listener. TVS Wide spreads the virtual effect more to the sides to create the illusion of an evenly spaced array of speakers, giving the sound an expanded effect that envelopes you in sound. TVS Night suppresses the large sounds like explosions, without affecting the quieter sounds. This mode is perfect when you don't want to disturb others, but still want to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of TVS Wide. TVS Standard provides a slightly different sound pattern than TVS and is useful when you want to use TVS with two separate speakers (other than internal TV speakers) and retain the original sound quality.



Custom Parental Control

This feature enables you to " lock" mature-content discs with a four digit code, even if the discs don't carry an MPAA rating. There's memory for up to 50 discs, and the memory will persist even after a power outage. You can set the playback restrictions so that the player will not play inappropriate discs with Custom Parental Control, or use regular Parental Control ,to limit the playback of some DVDs based on a predetermined level, such as the age of the users. When Parental Control is activated, a scene that is limited is not played or is replaced by a different scene.
