Sony's 400-disc DVP-CX777ES provides stellar audio and video performance and housing for your entire DVD and/or CD library--or, depending on the size of your collection, the lion's share of the discs you spin the most. The changer features advanced Precision Cinema Progressive technology for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs along with multichannel Super Audio CD (SACD) playback for ultimate-quality music listening, in stereo or surround sound. The model is also equipped with the industry's first 12-bit, 216 MHz video digital-to-analog converter for extended video bandwidth and detail.

Sony's proprietary Precision Cinema Progressive system incorporates Pixel-by-Pixel I/P conversion technology with separate algorithms for still, slow-motion, and fast-motion video, ensuring vivid contrast and brightness and seamless DVD-Video picture quality. The system also includes a Super Sub Alias Filter for better signal-to-noise ratio than previous models, while V-Edge Compensation minimizes jagged edges on diagonal image lines. The system's Noise Shaped Video (NSV) circuitry shifts video noise outside the visible frequency range, further enhancing picture quality.

The DVP-CX777ES's cutting-edge 12-bit, 216 MHz DAC minimizes video noise that can interfere with picture quality. Debuted in 2004, the converter's increased sampling rate allows home-entertainment enthusiasts to enjoy breathtaking picture detail.

Bringing high-resolution audio performance to newly affordable prices, the Sony DVP-CX777ES DVD player features high-end multichannel and stereo SACD playback. Depending on the discs, SACD music releases provide super high-fidelity multichannel and/or stereo sound. As an anti-piracy measure, the DVP-CX777ES performs its own decoding of SACD signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate multichannel SACD releases. Built-in SACD bass management helps you tailor the output level of the ".1" LFE (low-frequency effects) channel to your system, as an appropriate level may differ from the output level appropriate for Dolby Digital and DTS surround mixes.

A set of stereo and a set of multichannel analog-audio outputs route audio from SACDs as well as from Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded DVDs to your receiver. If you're not planning to use the SACD capability for multichannel programming, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can also be routed through the player's digital-audio output for simpler connection to a compatible AV receiver.

Further sound adjustments are possible through the player's Multi-Channel Management and speaker-distance adjustment functions on the unit's onscreen GUI (graphic user interface). In addition, the player's Audio-Video Alignment feature eliminates any time delay between picture and sound for a seamless cinematic experience.

Extensive anti-resonant damping materials maintain pristine playback quality, while Sony's Precision Drive 2 with Dynamic Tilt Compensation provides fast access and steady tracking by applying a high responsive servo tilt to the pick-up in order to compensate for certain imperfections found in some discs.

Unique to the DVP-CX777ES is its Disc Explorer system. This feature grants fast and easy identification and access of all 400 discs. Using the onscreen GUI, you can access discs by title, disc type, or genre. You have the option to create personalized categories for even more detailed disc management. The player automatically loads disc information into its memory for instant access and display, keeping your growing collection up to date.

The DVP-CX777ES also incorporates Jacket Picture, which records disc-jacket pictures that will appear automatically on your TV when accessed within the changer. If no jacket picture is available, you can customize your jacket pictures by freezing any scene on a DVD.

The DVP-CX777ES's RS-232C port makes it a great choice for custom installations.

BUYER BEWARE! I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. BOTH WORKED FINE FOR 10 MONTHS AND THEN WENT INTO AN UNCONTROLLED MODE OF CHANGING FROM ONE DISC TO THE NEXT CONTINUOUSLY. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT THERE TO TURN OFF THE UNIT RESULTING IN YOUR ENTIRE DVD COLLECTION BEING DESTROYED. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR HOMEOWNERS POLICY NOR SONY AS I CHECKED INTO THIS. THANKFULLY A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY WAS THERE BOTH TIMES TO UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE THE DVD'S WERE SCRATCHED BEYOND REPAIR.

Explanation of Region Free DVD players can not CD-R and CD-RW

The most advanced DVD players can play a wide range of units, except DVD. The DVD player can play DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD + R, DVD + RW, CD Audio, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, WMA, JPEG, MPEG 4, VCR, Picture CD, SVCD, and DivX DVCD. This DVD player with features and a wide price range. Manufacturers of DVD players decide "what kind of functions and take the type of disks that are supported, taking into account consumer needs and convenience.

Region free DVD players are usually developed in order to read discs all different and therefore higher prices on the market. They are widespread throughout the Region 2 countries, including Britain, France, Italy, Greece and Spain. In these countries it is legal to possess and use region free DVD players if used for non commercial purposes.

CD-R

There are two types of CD, CD-R and CD-RW. CD-R (Compact> Disc-Recordable) is a variant of audio CDs and digital was invented in 1988 by Philips and Sony CD-Rs were a. The first company Taiyo Yuden, Kodak, Maxell, and TDK manufactures. They are able to store music or data. The CD-R is burned with laser light. The standard CD-R is a polycarbonate disc of 120 mm or 80 mm diameter and a thickness of 1.2 mm. This standard CD-Rs have a capacity of 74 minutes of audio or 650 MB (Mega Bytes) of data.

The non-standard702 MB CD-R discs can store data and 79 minutes and 59 seconds of audio. The surface of the recordable CD-R has a spiral groove that guides the laser beam for writing and reading information. The spiral groove side with a thin layer of organic dye coating, followed by a thin layer of silver, an alloy of silver or gold. Then a final protective layer of paint, the photo-curing, must consist of a thin layer and is cured with UV light at the end. This is like a vacuum is produced.The data are the spiral groove on. To write data to a CD-R, the laser burns the natural organic dye by heating to a certain level. This area of the disc were written to be added to reflect the laser light opaque and less in other areas. When a CD-R is written, learn its organic dye decomposition irreversible. Therefore, once a CD-R is written is permanent and can not be deleted or reused.

Three methods for writing CD-R with a CDRecorder

There are three methods for writing to CD-R with a CD. In "Disc At Once" technology, the CD is written completely and go after the "Closed", no data also may be added to it then. This type of registration is usually in "Live" used audio recordings. This CD is a CD-R read-only.

The "Track At Once" The technology is used for recording a song at a time, so that CD-R, then open for further additions. ThisCDs are able to store data and audio. The third technique is the "packet writing" system in which data is recorded as an appendix, so as to add new data at a later date. This CD-Rs are very similar in the functionality of CD-RW. this technique, some DVD players are due not able to read CD-Rs that.

CD-RW

A CD-RW or "Compact Disc writable King" as the name suggests, is a CD where the data can be written, erased and rewritten. ACD-RW can rewrite what 1000-100000 times, depending on the type of disc. A CD-RW is also able to delete individual files at once.

The CD-RW CD-R is similar in most aspects of collection and use. These are compatible with the Disc At Once "and" Packet Writing ", just like CD-R. The CD-RW discs are written with the phase-change technology." If writing, the laser is the physical condition of the recording layer changes from crystallinePhase of the amorphous phase. The refractive index of the crystalline form is different from the amorphous form and makes the optical disk to read.

Multi Multi Read and play

The CD-R and CD-RW discs can be played on CD players are comfortable. There are a number of DVD players, CD-DVD can only play and are unable to read. This is due to some technological differences between the two formats. The CD-R, CD-RW and DVD are readlasers with different specifications. The CD-R can be read using a 780nm infrared laser, while the disc is read by a visible red 635nm or 650nm laser. The CD-RW can be read by laser 650nm, as its recording layer is not very dependent on the wavelength of the laser for reading.

The optical device used to read DVDs has a numerical aperture opposite from 0.60 to 0.45, as used for CD-R. Thus, some DVD players can not read CD-R discs and laser must be with a double layeralso read CD-R. Most DVD players can read CD-RW, but in some cases the DVD optical system is not sensitive enough to change the read signal to lower reflectivity and a CD-RW.

Consumer demand usually DVD systems, suitable for treating all types of discs. DVD players have been modified to be able to read and play discs other entering MultiRead and multi-play. This is possible by adding an additional optical laserPick-up that produces both types of wavelengths. MultiRead format was created in 1997 by OSTA. This is designed to connect the CD and DVD technologies, allowing the reader to read DVD discs, CD-R and CD-RW.

The OSTA formulated to enable multi-play in 2000 on CD-DVD and electronic devices, compatible with CD-R and CD-RW devices. Then MultiRead and multi-play compatible DVD players and recorders are capable of both CD-R and CD-RW. Morecompatible DVD players and offer a sticker logo on the packaging MultiRead Multiplay by consumers recognize.
